A white tip on the anal fin usually identifies a Chum Salmon. Resembling Sockeye, but larger, chum have silvery sides and faint grid-like bars as they near spawning streams. The tail base is narrow and there is silver in the tail. They live three to five years and weigh about 4.5 kg to 6.5 kg (10 - 14 pounds), but they have been known to reach as much as 15kg (33 pounds). They grow to a length of 100 centimetres (40 inches).
Each Chum Salmon you keep must be at least 30cm (12 inches) long.
