Coho has a black tongue and grey gums
Atlantics tongue is light colored
Coho has spots on upper lobe of.tail
Atlantic.does not have spots on tail
Coho has more rays in the anal fin >12-15 and Atlantic has 9-10
Browns also have 9-10 rays but they have a square tail vs Atlantic slightly forked. Browns have thick caudal peduncle, and 2 rows of teeth on the roof of mouth vs Atlantic have one.
Steelhead have horizontal rows of small spots on both lobes of tail and a white mouth.
Great info.. Thank you for that..big help...

Also, the jaw stops in front of their eyes and a Coho is behind the eyes
Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile appI wonder if this is 100% of the time?? The reason I ask, I have charts that are confusing because they are not definitive on the mouth to eye location. If this is 100%, it makes them pretty identifiable quick. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Atlantic Fish ID
I seem to be having difficulty identifying atlantics over cohos. I've read tons of charts. No spots on tail, location of the eye vs the mouth but I'm seeing discrepancies in the descriptions.
Can anyone one offer a quick method so an effective release can be made in a reasonable time?
thanks in advance.

Thanks, that eye location is glaring to me compared to the coho. Plus the spots on the gill plate.
