I looked at it the first time and thought it looked odd for a rainbow, so I looked at the caudal fin to see if it might be a coho. There were spots, so I just assumed it was a rainbow. They can be hard to tell apart. The documentation I've seen indicate there are no spots on the bottom of the tail, so I never gave it any more thought. I agree, though. It is a coho. The mouth is bigger than on a rainbow, and the dark color in the mouth also another indicator. Also, heavy spotting on the upper side of the lateral line with no spotting below. Looks like a coho to me. I just missed it. Sorry. I'll get the score corrected.
