You know what, the Springs I have cleaned this year were predomimately males I guess,because only 2 had eggs. Im not trying to sound like a martr or something but if I knew befor hand I was keeping egg laden salmon I would be inclined to release it because Im beginning to feel guilty that it could have returned and spawned. I think thats important. Point being is I dont know if the thing is M or F. Can you tell??? In fact its only Aug and with canning and freezing of fish for my wife and I for the year,its just about enough. Im not bragging,its just a fact,and its to the point that because I still want to go out and fish,catch and release comes into mind. Now Im not even sure if thats ethical in this regard.
Is it M Or F?

males have the white milt sack,females have egg skeens...
sounds ethical to me... you have enough but you still
want to fish, no problem to catch and release!
i hope to be in the same position soon .[8D]

Male salmon have a longer more pointed head while females have smaller rounded snout, much nicer looking, with a bit of practise you can tell every time.

The distance between the eye and the tip of the nose is shorter on a female. If you have pictures of your fish, compare the ones you know (after cleaning) were female and male. You'll see what I mean....
