Was fishing the St. Mary's Rapids in the summer for Atlantic salmon, til this day I cannot get a positive ID on this fish. Is it a dying bow or an Atlantic? any opinions would be appreciated.

if i could see the tail i would tell you 100%. in this order, pinook, then female chinook that came into river for some reason, but if those red marks are not your camera messing up, i would say huge chance it is a coho. 100% not atlantic. never heard of rainbow trout turning that colour before, and no white spots on the fins.

Looks to me like a hybrid cross between pink and chinook.

From what I see that is a booting female pink... No hump, spawing coloration, mouth, head shape, I don't see any chinook in her

on the bottom is a pure pink salmon from Sault Ste Marie. the spots on the back of bski's fish look like chinny spots yet it's not an actual chinny. I can't imagine what it could be other than a hybrid of some sort.
