PBH-- I have heard the locals refer to the Chum salmon as the Keta salmon -- one and the same?? The Keta name sounds more appealing than "dog" salmon.
The Chums I have seen returning up stream to spawn start to literally fall apart as they complete their life cycle. I sure agree that they can give a very good accounting of themselves in the open water. Fun to catch even if you do not like them as table fare. Thanks for the info.
We fished in the Juneau area. We made a good effort to get to the Red Dog Saloon but the tourist ships were in and there was a waiting line to get in so we missed out on their specialty drink -- the Duck Fart. None of us drink alcohol but we planned to by one Duck Fart drink just to sip and say we had one (no designated driver needed) [
