I hate to start a topic like this when Wulf is begging for a fishing pole, but...
It rained in my village for 3 straight days. So what did I do? Stock up on fish, of course! I caught about 17 different kinds of fish on my first day of fishing! And it's a great way to make money, too. The most common fish, salmon, gets a suprising amount of money at Tom's. I've caught a lot of Red Snappers, too, and those get 3,000 bells EACH!
The most expensive fish I've caught so far is the Barred Knifejaw, which got me 5,000 bells. Fortunately I've caught about 4 of them!
Now it's sunny, so I'm starting my bug collection. ^_^
