Is the meat still good while they are this far upriver, or in this case up creek? This reminds me of Minter Creek here in WA state where folks are literally sight fishing. A creek that is a maximum of 2ft deep and with schools of holding salmon during low tide. Cast a jig in front of the salmon hoping it hooks onto its mouth and not elsewhere on its body.
my experience is, once they discolour and not just darken, then the fish is near death. I have seen dark salmon which were shiny and dark, but not discloured. The meat was no different then a silver salmon. However this salmon was not weak, fought till the end and was not sluggish. The fish in this video are tired, usually a fish that bites is not one that is dying immediately. The condition of the fish on the outer epidermis will answer your queston about being edible. As for fishing the way they do in minter creek, that is not fishing. Fishing is trying to entice the fish to strike your bait. The art of presentation.
Well, I'm actually bottom bouncing. Also below the tree where I am casting is closer to 6 feet deep where it then comes up onto a sand bar. Notice how close my weight is to my bait. I appreciate your concern for the fish. But we have bigger problems than legal fishermen on the creeks with all the folks coming out with nets and spears.
Could you please tell me where is the location, thank you God bless you

No once they aren't shinny the meat is pretty nasty.
I only keep them the frist 3 weeks of the run I’ve gotten dark ones with red meat still thay get dark fast but after 2 or 3 weeks I wouldn’t eat them

Those fish are on the way out. No fight. Sluggish land. Nice spot though. Very picturesque. Nice job filming.
All salmon are on their way out once they enter the river, except Atlantics
@@notme1453 My experience has been not all, some yes. But there are some that are draw backs and the jacks return mostly back to the lake.
you say no snagging, while prodceding to floss them in 3 feet of water
