J. K. Lord Naturalist in Vancouver I. 1866 vol. 1. p 54 –
The male of the Salmo lycaodon has its nose enormously elongated into a hook, with the under jaw bending up & fitting into a hole in the upper jaw; teeth become regular fangs often more than half an inch in length. The state of the head of the male differs much in fish which have just arrived & Mr L. believes itis permanent & increases in those males which have previously been up the river.
