How can you tell from that pic that 1 was a white?? As far as I know the only way to tell is if you are able to look under the gill cover or cut the fish open??

I didn't take a pic of the white, just posted that picture for anyone who wanted to see it. Once there late in the spawning stage it's fairly easy to tell if one is a white or red. The red's go red and the white's... get more white.

Yeah sorry they get black as well, that's where the term 'boot' from. I've seen lots of them be white though just before they kick the bucket.

well from reading on this forum and others both seem a little slow but I think your best bet is the fraser just put your time in, keep the leader short and release the sox gently.

 One pink , 1 coho and 250- 300 red chinook holding in outlet channel at hatchery. The coho actually arrived the last week in July which is a little earlier than normal . Coho usually start showing up mid August but only in small numbers. Hope for a dry fall to slow upstream migration. Any jump in river levels triggers movement and all the fish shoot to the hatchery in short order. I'v heard lots of angler say that they hope it rains so that the fish will come in. If we get rain, you can enjoy watching the coho as they are brailed from the raceway into totes.
