The salmon are from the Yakama tribal hatchery at Cle Elum.  I don't know
where they actually put them into the river.  They may truck them around to
several locations.  A good quick check is to fold up the anal fin.    In all
of the salmon species, the forward-most ray will not reach to the insertion
point of the rearmost ray.  In Steelhead/rainbows, the ray will reach beyond
that point (or so I am told by a former fisheries student).
