If they change too much they are not worth keeping. Some are OK if you fish close to the ocean and away from the spawning grounds.
Everybody wanted a silver salmon, the color and shape that they have in the ocean.
All the salmon I caught in the Skeena, Kitimat and other rivers were still silver bullets. I was fishing 10 to 20 miles in from the ocean. The salmon were biting on spin and glows with a roe bag on the hook. All the sea run trout would bite on spoons.

The biggest chinook i caught was 60 lbs. and took almost 4 hours to get in and a half mile of shore line.
