100% spawned out female coho salmon. It has white gums and the spots are small where  chinook spots are generally  "bigger" and broader. The lack of kype is not a good indicator as some stocks of coho females have quite large kypes. I have literally spawned thousand of Squamish coho over the years and having a kype on a female Squamish coho is very common especially on Cheakamus and upper Squamish fish.

see...wrong again!

*************

worth noting that not all coho males develop much of a kype...jacks and smaller adult males in particular. I have seen a jack coho with a developed kype such as one sees on"Northerns" for example.

But I am likely wrong again.  ::)
