Summer Chinook also called "June Hogs"

Summer Chinook are larger than Spring Chinook and average around 16-22 lbs. with fish over 30 lbs. not being uncommon.  Like the Spring Chinook these fish are not spawning until late summer and early fall so they have a rich flavor and are great table fare!

Here is a great looking Summer Chinook caught on the Columbia River below Longview, Washington.
