Checklist

  • Feed and pet animals before leaving because time continues and animals are not auto-fed.
  • Bring bait, tackle, fishing buffs, and inventory space for fish, tags, and prizes.
  • Use Rainbow Trout Bait from a Bait Maker or Challenge Bait if perfect catches are consistent.
  • Redeem Golden Tags one at a time, or save extras because they carry over.
