fisher
Casts a line
A fisher is someone who fishes, though the longer form "fisherman" remains more common in everyday speech.
Fisher also names a dark-furred North American mammal related to the weasel, prized historically for its pelt.
Despite the name, the animal rarely eats fish, preferring porcupines and small mammals.
