Whats this feesh?

Pink Nighty

Caught this little guy trying to swing spoons for sockeye. As far as i can tell, this is neither a sockeye nor an Atlantic salmon. Back was bright green, and not a single spot on it.

With the faint parr marks extending above and below the lateral line with wide spacing and the dark caudal edge, I'd say coho smolt.
*EDIT*
I'll leave my original answer unedited, but I can't see the dorsal or the adipose, which would help greatly with ID...I'm also unsure if what I'm seeing are faded parr marks or just light artifacts. Good chance it could be a Sockeye smolt as well, I don't know at what age the Baker Sox outmigrate.

Honestly I'm only seeing the faintest possibility of parr marks now that I look at the picture. In the sunlight it was perfectly silver sided and green backed
