River Muagh Fishing Frenzy

Plenty of fish in the sea. But we're fishing in a river so there's even more to catch! That's how it works, right?

Catch a fish and cook it right there on the dock! If you catch something you really like, the organizer can turn your catch into a stickpin that squirts water!

Location: River Muagh, Bric-a-brac Dock (a narrow stone-lined path)

Fishing gear is available at Borthuum Bargain Bait (an oilcloth-covered makeshift wooden stand).
