RE: Traveling in an RV to Valdez : Long drive with a skittish driver
- Ive never seen fish with their heads stuck in railings before!
- Great Views, scenery and sights, especially the waterfalls.
- So what's the difference between a Pink and a Silver?
Yeah the fish.. I feel so bad for them. 😔 it seems to happen every year too, like they never fix the spot in the gate.
Yeah the waterfalls are beautiful for sure.
The difference between a pink and silver is the size and color of meat. Their scales are different too. Pinks turn green on the top and silver/white on the bottom, their meat is a dark pink. Silvers have shiny silver scales and are twice the size and have a redder meat.
You can also tell by the size of their head and mouth.
