Sneaking past locals lingering on a smoke break and into a gully alongside an aging general store is not how one expects to begin a quest for a rare fish.

"Most of the streams along the Hāmākua Coast that I have been to seem to support populations of 'o'opu," wrote Tim Grabowski, head of the Hawaii Cooperative Fishery Research Unit of the US Geological Survey, in an email about where to find the fish in question.
