Right, I'm 100% this a juvenile chinook.
Others are not.

Looks like a Cisco.

Don't know what it is from that picture.

At first I thought it was a lake herring! hahaha...

but it has Salmon traits.

the head is a salmon head as far as I can tell so it must be a Salmon...

The tail is weird though. Not as an adult Salmons tail is.......usually they aren't as forked....

Not sure what type it is.....

hmmm........

to me, it looks like a chinook.

you have to understand, your last question was posed on a board with a million arm chair know-it-all fisherman. the one person who posted an atlantic, and someone said it was a brown, had me spitting coffee on my screen here at work.

have no worries. just keep fishing.

however, your INSANE for posting a pier report this early in the year. but thats for the other pier anglers to worry about.

I'd have to go with a Cisco as well. The forked tail is a clear indication that it is not a salmon.

Yeah the tail is way to forked for a salmon...But I do not know...Maybe a cisco

That would have to be a salmon. I know the tail is forked, but that could be the result of injury/deformity etc.

Here is a pic of a Cisco. Doesn't even look the same.

cisco?

Now that I see James pic I do see the difference...So is this a deformation then??? If it was from Lake Ontario then it could be all the sewage that they dump into it ...Maybe it is a drum

Coho.

Identification would be alot easier if we were able to look inside the mouth of the fish.

If that is a cisco than I guess that is what I was catching in BC for 15 years Chinook but the pic is not the best,would be able to tell better by mouth

agree with mouth shot for id. if it has black gums and tongue it's a chinook. that said I'm sure it is a chinook. sub-adult chinook have deeply forked tails and the tail squares up as it grows.
this picture is of a yearling chinook but gives the general idea.
