This guy has been hanging out around our docks the past 2 days. I think it is a salmon but has a lot of strange marks on him. Almost looks like he is rotting or has some sort of fungus growing on him. Ever see something like this?

Reminds me of when our fish (aquarium) used to get, what they call, ICK! YUK! Doesn't look healthy, at all:(

I just did a search and it looks like Saprolegnia which is common among Atlantic Salmon. It says it happens most frequently with mature and/or injured fish that cannot fight it.

I would contact State Fish and Game. It can spread.
