And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've been watching the evolution of the placement of their pole when a woman catches a fish. Going to be interesting when they start looking for other places to stick that rod.
Sea run (or hatchery) chinook salmon or steelhead hen that has stayed in fresh water for a good while. The difference is tough to tell in a pix. Pretty much ALL the Salmonids have been hybridized in hatcheries or from stocking programs and all current 'species' populations were created following the end of the northern polar ice sheet melting 13 - 10,000 years ago.
yeah, it happens ... in NZ tiny brooks w/ bathtub size pools hold spawners from the down-river system staying to eat the dinks ... they run up river from lakes / ocean and stay for a while.
Not as common in the US nowadays like there used to be coaster brookie runs on all the great lakes tribs
PS adipose fin is elective marking -- but I was thinking about the hatchery brood stock the hatchery will stock streams with after they get too old to strip eggs from.
I just can’t take the bait on making a comment that comes to mind but I will let someone else to run with it.

And yet no one comments on that creek monster. That is a flipping huge trout!

Sea run salmon is my guess. Adipose fin is intact. It could be a trout, I've hooked fish like that, and bigger, in small waters.
