"Bluebacks"

[Tmoore83]

Local names for species, especially salmon, can be totally contradictory and confusing.

Canadians, up in the Gulf Islands anyway, used to refer to immature resident coho as "Bluebacks"

But then down here, a common name for coho is "silver", which is also applied to Kokanee, which is a landlocked sockeye or "red".

Who is on first?
