The boat gently rocks as we cast our lines into the Montesano river. Mist rises from the water's surface. A flash of silver breaks the calm. The rod bends. A coho salmon leaps. Its scales glisten in the morning light. The angler grips the rod tightly. The fish dives and runs. The reel sings. Slowly the salmon tires. We net the prize. Smiles and high fives all around. Another successful catch on our Salmon Safari.
