Humpie

There was a lot of snagging at first, of humpies too tired to resist, of deadfall trailing limbs in the water, but after a while Gregor caught and by a miracle landed a two-pound rainbow and everyone began fishing in earnest.

Humpies travel in schools on or near the surface, so the dorsal fin can be easily spotted.

The once-unthinkable to Hank became his concentrated project for the next several days: to hone his deckwise wife to the mysteries of spotting and capturing humpie salmon from the viewpoint of the wheelhouse.
