    A fisherman travels downstream at full speed to his favorite fishing spot.

    The stream is running at a rate of 5 miles per hour, and he takes an hour to get to the fishing hole.

    He catches 5 fish and calls it a day.

    He takes twice as long at full speed to get back to the dock going against the current.

    (x + 5) / (x - 5) = 2

    x = 15

    The full speed of the fishing boat is 15 miles per hour.
