I was confident both of these fish were kokanee, but the tails are making me second guess.

  1. Looks like it to me!

    Just looks like the one on the left has seen some shit and has rips in his tail fin that allow it to spread farther.

    Edit, closer inspection shows me that their eyes are different, the one on the right has large pupils and thin irises while the one on the left has pretty small pupils and large irises

    The one on the left has a very angular square, jaw and lip/mouth line while the one on the right has a very streamlined sloped jawline and longer straighter mouth.

    I say that these are likely very similar or even related species but not the same

    One is potentially a coho

    Idk why I’m being down voted for giving my guess/observations

  2. Both are Kokanee. They can have a little variation in looks. Left looks like a female and right looks like a male.

  3. If you aren’t sure what they are, you *probably* shouldn’t be harvesting them 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Both nice are nice kokanee! Is this an old photo? Surprised they haven’t started changing colors and looking mean yet!

    If you looked away for a second and looked back, you would have no idea the difference between each fish.They look exactly the same, except for the size
