The boat rocks gently on the river. A light mist hangs in the air. The fisherman stands ready rod in hand. Suddenly a flash of silver breaks the surface. The line goes taut. The battle begins. The salmon leaps and dives. The fisherman reels and pulls. Minutes pass. Finally the fish tires. It's brought aboard. A beautiful coho salmon. Scales gleaming in the morning light. A successful catch on a perfect autumn day.
