Windriver.
I don't know if the others have agreed to count the Coho or not, but I need to withdraw the Coho from the contest.
I mis-identified it. I did some checking on fish identification and that is not a Coho. It is a rainbow. Coho do not have any spots on the lower portion of the tail. I assumed the one I submitted was a Coho due to the very silvery sides and the dark jaw, but the lower jaw on a Coho is also darker than that. I've included a photo of a Coho (which, incidentally, I did not photo for the contest because it was the same size as the one I submitted), but I don't have an official picture of it with a measurement. Ooops. Sorry for the error. I'll get one in coming weeks and get a qualifying picture, I hope (if they are allowed).
Again, I apologize for the error.
I've learned quite a bit about Salmon and how to tell a Salmon from a trout in the last few days though. So that's good. [
] The one in the picture below really is a Coho and you can see that it is darker in the mouth and the back also. It is a poor picture, so you can't tell if it has spotting on the lower portion of the tail.
