The clue
One a motorway toll was named for, one is what a bird does on a wire — and an angler wants both.
The rack
Eighteen tiles were on the board. Every letter is worth its place in the alphabet, A = 1 to Z = 26.

The answer
2 words, hitting 91 exactly: PIKE + PERCH.
P16I9K11E5= 41
+P16E5R18C3H8= 50
PIKE 41 + PERCH 50 = 91. SumHunt reads left to right, so there is no operator precedence to trip over.
