It's been an incredible season. The springs are much bigger this year than the previous.

Incredible fishing in our backyard! The red/white coloring of that spring I call those “marbled” chinooks. I’ve caught a bunch of those in the rivers. Absolutely nothing wrong with the meat just different flesh pigment.

I still can't believe we live here sometimes. This is my second marbled Chinook caught in these waters and I often wonder how this happens. This was a wild one.

[@Goats22]

i think the marbled ones are a result of a white and a red spawning in the same area of the river. my theory anyways.

[@keeponfishing9189]

​@@Goats22thanks for the tip! Ive also been reading that white (marbled) salmon is a better tasting Chinook!

Hahahah that is the funniest comment ever..😂

[@tristinvandamme8299]

It’s a “white spring” which is just genetic. Also just curious on measurement? There isa slot limit of max 80cm on the inside, which if it were 20lbs it would be well over

[@keeponfishing9189]

There is a slot limit in area 17, I'd have to check DFO regs but this one wasn't over. DFO are strict here and frequent the area and launches.
