I missed the execpt salmon part in freshwater.

I found this though from dfo.

Packaging your Salmon
Chinook, Coho, Pink, Chum, & Sockeye
When packaging your catch, if a maximum size limit applies, the head and tail must remain attached until you prepare and consume your catch, arrive at your ordinary residence, or deliver your catch to a registered processing facility.

The head of your salmon can be removed only if the length with the head off is equal to or greater than the minimum legal size of that species for the waters in which it was caught. Leave the tail attached so species can be determined. For example, if a Chinook salmon is caught where the minimum size limit is 62 cm and it is filleted and packaged for transport, one of the fillets must have the tail attached and be at least 62 cm long.

So it sounds like you can pretty much remove head most of the salmon you catch in fresh water, except for jacks and adult chinook, since the size of head may make a difference in determining the minimum/maximum size.

Thanks clarkii for one more clarification. Though it is opposite to your first one, I like it better. Nobody needs to keep a fish with the head if there is no problem with it identification or no size limit.

This is not about the heads. 
I went to Peg yesterday to check out the bar. It seems the river in front of the bar has become deeper. Very tough to get a bounce unless you are tossing 5oz or 6oz. Slow fishing with not too many springs hooked, not even sockeyes. Not very encouraging.

I spoke to 1 bar fisherman last week. He needed 18 oz to keep his line in place
