Fish names Cajun style

[hawgsquatch]

This is cool. It would seem that names are reused regionally. Here is a list of our common ones.

King salmon are also called Tyee, Springers, Chinook, Blackmouth, Undersized salmon are called shakers or Jacks

Silver salmon= Coho

Sockey Salmon = Red

Pogie here is a striped sea perch

sea trout is a kelp or rock greenling

You guys call cobia-ling which is what we call a Lingcod which aint a cod, but a greenling.

A hardhead here is a squawfish

We call bluegill perch

We get huge 100+ lb stingrays that we call mud marlin

Sturgeon are diamondbacks or dinos

Bluebacks are coastal spring run steelhead and half pounders are a special run of steelhead that come up the Klamath after only two years at sea.

Monkeyface eel is what we call *****lebacks

Sorebacks are Salmon that have spawned out and are just waiting to die while they hang out in the river.

Chinquapin are the small native chestnuts we pick up when we are grouse hunting in October.
