Coho

The rains have started and the salmon are running, usually at night, so the best way of capturing a big coho is to drop in at the Chapman Creek fish Hatchery.

Saturday was a fine day, good weather, rain the night before. Here is an impressive example of a female coho salmon, over 100cm long. Note the missing aft fin, which indicates that it was a farm fish, probably around 18 months old.
