Springs have black gums and a spring would be pretty hard to come across in a river this time of year

This is the fish I caught just above you today, fly fisher (on the Vedder). I assumed coho jack but didn't notice the tail spots until I downloaded the pics.

Hmmm it looks like a big cutty besides the lack of spots below the lateral and lack a red slash (unless its not visible)

Im voting for coho jack, I have caught some late in the season with abundant spots before as well, although that was on some north side flows.

that looks identical to a small coho i got last year on a slightly secret area i cant name. I dont think Cutty because i have never seen one with a grey coloured belly and my biggest cutty(same spot as the coho i got and was around 23inches) was in some pretty good colouring (pre or post spawn colours)

There is no way that is a cutthroat ::) . It's a late season coho jack
