Silver Salmon sea /spaning phase

Coho or silver salmon have a light-gray gum line, black spots only on the upper lobe of the tail and average 8-12 pounds, though some grow to 36 pounds. Great for poaching or grilling, coho turn a dark maroon-red color on their sides when spawning. They develop a hook snout with large teeth. Coho are the last of the salmon to spawn and the most acrobatic of the Pacific salmon. They range from Southeast Alaska to the Chukchi Sea and fight their way up the Yukon River to the Alaska-Canada border.
