Trout Derby and SquidFest records for dates, locations, Golden Tags, Squid targets, prize rewards, bait routes, tackle prep, live-time rules, and animal care.
Trout Derby
Summer 20-21 / Rainbow Trout and Golden Tags
Trout Derby rewards repeated Rainbow Trout catches. Use targeted bait, Challenge Bait if you can make perfect catches, fishing food, and a nearby bait plan; Golden Tags carry between days and future years.
SquidFest
Winter 12-13 / Daily Squid targets and prize tiers
SquidFest is a two-day target ladder. The catch counter resets between Winter 12 and Winter 13, so each day needs its own Beach plan, fishing buffs, Squid Bait, tackle, and inventory space.
