Chinook Salmon Weathervane

The King Salmon weathervane Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (also known as a Chinook Salmon, Spring Salmon, Tyee Salmon or Quinnat Salmon) featured in this image consists of a copper fish with brass fins and tail. To distinguish it from what we call our Chinook Salmon, which is portrayed by itself (see photo below) as it would appear after returning from life at sea and ready to spawn, we portray this salmon as a younger fish in a more natural setting near the bottom of a river bed chasing a smaller fish.

This salmon weathervane can either be made in all copper or the body in copper and the fins and tail in brass for a subtle distinction between the metals (as shown here in the above photo). Because these weathervanes are made to order, you get to specify your preference. We can also optionally gild the fish’s speckles, fins and tail as well as the little fish so they will remain golden as the rest of the weathervane undergoes its patina process. If you have questions about these choices, we are happy to elaborate on these options and/or make recommendations.

In addition, you can order this King Salmon weathervane in one of two ways:

1. The King Salmon by itself (as depicted below) with or without the line and fly or,

2. It can be made with a river bottom and little fish with no line in its mouth (as depicted in the image of the King Salmon above).

Just specify which version you like best (Salmon by itself or Salmon Chasing Fish) and that is how we will make it for you.
