Tips
- Rain matters: Mouthout only bites in the rain — save lake trips for stormy days.
- Full moon = Moonflutter: check the calendar; it’s a Large-fish payout on a schedule.
- The Goliath is the jackpot at 500 base — super rare, but the Moonlit Pines river is worth a detour every trip.
- Fish also make great gifts: Noel likes them (and hates flowers).
