Best demo of the key differences that I have seen. Nice and simple, which is so important when you are trying to quickly identify and (if necessary) release a fish. Thanks Peter.
Thanks Petr, I remember when I met you at the river (where you tend to swim) I caught a coho, I wasn’t sure what it was, but the fin was clipped so I knew it to be good. You helped me out then too. Awesome video!
Enjoying your channel. Ocean fishing off Victoria I released that 1 in 100 wild Coho that met the tail criteria spots like Chinook but the gums were white and the teeth small. Your explanation confirms my choice.
Great video. Coho also have a thicker caudal, and have silvery/grey streaks running lengthwise through the caudal fin. They also tend to jump out of the water a lot more when hooked, as opposed to a chinook salmon which tends to run when hooked instead.
That was no accident I've been waiting for that combination for some time so that I could make this video. Actually I wanted to make this video last fall and it just never happened that I had two fish that looked alike.
The Vedder is quite fly friendly, especially from Vedder crossing down to the Canal where the banks are wide. Some of the new gravel excavations should also provide good water for stripping attractor flies.
Short and sweet, there can’t be enough of these videos to help new anglers. For me it’s black tongue/white gum = coho as the spots are more confusing and I’ve seen more crossover in that regard…
pinks can also have black mouths so you still need to combine that with other characteristics. By far, the 2 trickiest ones to tell apart are ocean bright reds/sockeye and ocean bright dogs/chum. There is very little that distinguishes those 2.
You are correct, there is a great deal of individual variation to how heavily spotted fish are, so using a combination of characteristics is important.
I appreciate how clear and short your video is!
Thank you very much for the feedback. Sometimes I do talk too much, but I try not to waste the time of my audience.

Oops , I should at least spell your name properly, Petr.
You're very welcome!

There is a great range in individual characteristics among fish, just like other animals. Glad you got it right that time.
Very helpful video! Thanks for the detailed explanation🎣😊
Glad it was helpful!

Great tip!
Good job at having 2 fish of similar size and color!

You're welcome, thanks for watching.
Thanks peter very useful , Is there any spot in veder river for fly fishing?
The Vedder is quite fly friendly, especially from Vedder crossing down to the Canal where the banks are wide. Some of the new gravel excavations should also provide good water for stripping attractor flies.

@@littlegoobie Thank you for the data.

Thanks!
Thank you for your support. You're actually the first person to ever send money to my channel, very generous of you and I appreciate it.
@@petrhermanadventures9509 Thanks Petr. I appreciate your instructional videos. We need more respectful and educated anglers!
I've watched other people catch salmon and misidentify them. I bet 50% of the returned catch records are wrong but who's going to know. 😅
I had trouble too, when I first started out. I had to carry a card with all the features and check it when I caught a fish.
Super helpful! Thanks you!
You're welcome!
