"... spent from 43 to 63 percent of their time fishing for spawning suckers ..."
For a moment, I forgot that the article was about literal wolves, and not the wolves of Wall St.

Why do scientists think that if they haven't scientifically recorded something, then it must not exist?
Why is this surprising at all? Wolves are smart, they are meat-eaters. Simple common sense would lead you to believe they'd eat fish if they had the opportunity.

Is it the same wolf? If so how often does it go fishing?

Quiet a Fisher-Wolf !
It is not obvious what fly they are using. Likely a Grey Wulff

Several years ago, there was a female wolf at Brooks Falls who would follow us while we were trout fishing. She would hide in the grass, and when we released a trout, she would rush out and grab it, almost at our feet. If we saw her, she would recognize that she was busted, and would often just lay down and watch us, although we would quit fishing to avoid the reinforcing that behavior. Once the salmon showed up, she didn't need the assistance any more. She was actually better at catching salmon than most of the grizzly bears.

I don't quite follow why learning to associate splashes with food is so unusual.

The wolf makes it look easy.
