"C" is cents

The stamp on Jack's postcard to Ennis -- the one bearing the message "See you in a couple weeks... fish should be jumping" -- had a postal value of six cents.

Alma discovered that Ennis's fishing line was untouched by water and by Ennis.

"F" is frypan

In Alma's estimation of the situation, the jumping fish that Jack and Ennis never caught were never fried in a frypan.

Jack didn't want Wyoming Game and Fish, a governmental agency, to catch Ennis and him with the dead elk.

By witnessing the reunion kiss, Alma, who was hitherto unaware of Ennis's feelings for Jack, began fishing for clues.

"I" is improbable

It slowly dawned on Alma that, improbable as it seemed, Jack and Ennis's fishing trips had very little to do with fishing.

Jack masked his sorrow when he realized that he had misinterpreted the meaning of the post-divorce postcard.

Leslie Nicoll, known by the nickname MaineWriter (and today, Sir William Thatcher), likes to imagine salacious details of Jack and Ennis's fishing trips, especially the trips where the the fish are jumping.
