Nice work. The silver one is a hatchery Coho. I caught one in the same cove about two months ago on a Chartreuse spinner. She was just over 12 inches long, and I invited her home for a smoker. Good reason to have a fresh water salmon tag on your license.
That is an illegal retention. You are not allowed to fish for salmon in region 2 outside of the DFO listed opportunities, and there are no openings for coho in Deer Lake, much less retention. The reason you are encountering hatchery marked coho in that lake is because the various Brunette River stream keeper groups are trying to restore the coho run. Hatchery marked fish doesn't mean you can retain a fish where ever you want.
What model kayak is it?
There are the occasional landlocked coho that live in deer lake. Could also be a kokanee
Coho most likely since kokane are way more silver when young
Not Coho, Land locked sockeye.
Deer lake have small coho when i fly fishing sometims catch coho usualy near sunset but you cant keep coho in deer lake.
What kind of bait are you using?
Trout magnet
