Pond smelt

The pond smelt is a fish you catch in rivers. Look for a small shadow. In the northern hemisphere look for it in Dec – Feb, at any time of day. Nook's Cranny pays 400 Bells, C.J. pays 600 Bells.

Despite the name, look in rivers for this small shadow, which bites at all hours while in season. It is one of the most common river fish during its short run.
