[Chinook SSSF]

I am happy to announce that we have begun to put together a "Fish I.D." section to the SSSF forum. A reply to only section with photos and info on how to identify Northwest fishes. We also encourage you to add clean, clear, no blood - broadside photo examples of your own to their respective threads to help other anglers! Please keep your native salmon & steelhead in the water.

SO far we have pages for all 5 species of Pacific salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, shad and walleye!
