There bellies don't look all that extended anymore.
As for the quality of the fish, just remember folks, that not everyone has the same opportunities as others.
I live down by the coast, so i am fortunate to get the salmon on the ocean or early on the rivers.
Others only at the the end game.
So yes, much more of a smoked/can salmon quality.
But good to see folks getting out there.
But then again, those guys only have minutes to go out hunting compared to me down here.

These fish smoke up real nice, I fish them each year. These later arriving fish are mostly south Thompson and little river, with some also spawning in the Thompson below Kamloops lake, and some spill over into the Adams. Earlier component of these summer 4-1’s are heading to the mid and lower Shuswap. They will be spawning shortly. We are all quite fortunate to be able to target this strong run of Chinook, most other Chinook, stream type, are doing very poorly and conservation actions are needed to try and rebuild those runs.

Sorry Im super ignorant about other fisheries besides the vedder...are these whites or reds? If 2 of those are males in the pic they got a lot more turning to do yet...look like all females to this amateur fisherman...

Theres a mix of white and red, and some are even marbled. Ive caught bright silver ones in late September, just depends how long they have been in fresh water.

this is a very fair statement!

The eagle river could be recipient of these fish also. DFO were checking the Little Shuswap outlet in November a couple years back and told me that a lot of late chinooks go to that river.
I was fishing the LS outlet a week or so ago and I do not recall any terminated mature springs. Just jacks and the really big surprise was some pinks.

It’s a big run of Chinook and they likely spill over to several places. Pinks are really widening their range, far up the north thompson as well.
