Full adipose... probably not a hatchery released fish... It is cleaned already, and I think the picture is from Medicine Hat... so not a fresh wild salmon/steelhead... (too skinny to be from Bullshead).

Can't see the tail (looks like there are black spots on it though)... makes id more diffficult... what about the gums?

Most definitley been gutted and looks like scaled as well. It has white gums, so not a chinook. It has spots, so not a sockeye. Wrong eye for a chum/dog salmon. It has spots on the dorsal fin but it doesn't look like a pink salmon. So that leaves either a coho or a 'bow. If it still had scales you'd get a much better ID. Whatever it is, it's a very affective poster. I worked on a commercial salmon troller many many moons ago and I gutted more fish than I care to remember, so I think thats why became hooked on CAR fishing so long ago.
