Minnows (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] "Minnow" is a catch-all term for baby fish. Easily distinguished by their small size, they can often be seen darting about the shallows in schools. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]

Redbelly Gulper (text-colour:magenta)[Rare] The apex predator of the shoreline. Redbellies lurk in the shallows, preying on fry and other small fish. Their preferred tactic is to ambush schools of minnows, swallowing several in one big gulp. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]

Flat Bass (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] A species of bass native to Lake Winnepogo. These freshwater fish live in the flats close to the shoreline, hence their name. Flat Bass are common prey for both larger fish and humans. See page 149 for tips on grilling or frying Flat Bass. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]

Siltfish (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] Bottom feeders that bury themselves in the sand to hide from predators. They mostly stick to the shallows, but occasionally larger specimens have been found near the center of the lake. These deep water variants can grow to rival even predators like the Muskellunge.

You see something odd in the water. A tall gray fin rises above the surface, then makes a beeline for the dock. [[Stand your ground|Scam 4 Ending A]] [[Back away|Scam 4 Ending B]]

The fin circles, but you pay it no heed. Sure enough, the raccoon eventually has to surface for air. It’s wearing a strap-on shark fin. The raccoon treads water for a while, giving you the stink eye. Then it swims away. [[Nice try|The Dock]]

"You, me and everybody else. Never mess with raccoons." Grandpa looks you dead in the eyes. “They hold grudges. My Uncle Bob killed one by accident: rammed it with his boat.

"It does, doesn't it?" Grandpa laughs bitterly. "We all thought so too." "One day, Uncle Bob killed one on accident: rammed it with his boat. The rest of them cleared out fast. We never saw them in our woods again." "Three years later, he was out hunting when a whole gang of them showed up to collect what was due.

"So there you have it. You asked why I hate them so much? That's why." Grandpa closes his eyes. "I think... I'd like to go back to sleep now. Could you turn the TV on?" You do as he asks, and soon, Grandpa has fallen back asleep. [[...|The House]]

Grandpa laughs. "Maybe! Wouldn't be the worst thing out of the marshes. But that's the thing, nobody knows! They're just around! Have been since I was a boy!" "My Dad would always tell me they were kids who stayed up too late fishing. If they didn't get home before dark, then they'd turn into raccoons. I know he was just messing with me, but that really got me back in the day!" [[I'll bet|Grandpa's Story 2ABBA]]

"Nobody knows! That's the thing about the little buggers. They're an absolute mystery!" Grandpa chuckles. "There was this one trucker I used to know whose route crossed Brother Bridge. He was always trying to say they came from Calcuttie. Said he'd seen a big ship of them pass under the bridge one night. Can you imagine that? A whole ship of raccoons!" [[That's crazy|Grandpa's Story 2ABAA]] [[It's not impossible...|Grandpa's Story 2ABAB]]

Grandpa seems to seriously consider your idea. "Of course! Fort Mackinack is right here, so they've got to be aliens! Maybe they escaped?" [[Not as crazy as it sounds, right?|Grandpa's Story 2ABCA]]

"Isn't it? Well, we always said he was a crackpot anyways." Grandpa sighs, and stretches in his chair. "Pass me the remote, would you? Let's watch a movie." The two of you are halfway through "Greasers" when you notice Grandpa has fallen asleep. [[...|The House]]

The two of you stop to think for a second. //Could the raccoons really figure out how to pilot a cargo ship?// Grandpa clears his throat. "Well, that was a terrifying thought. Can you get me some chips?" You go to the kitchen to grab Grandpa his chips. By the time you get back, he's fallen asleep, so you end up eating them instead. [[Crunch crunch crunch|The House]]

Grandpa holds his hand out for you to hand him the remote. "His favorite movie is on right now, you know. Want to watch it with me?" Halfway through "Greasers", Grandpa falls asleep. You watch it until the finish. It's a good movie. [[...|The House]]

Grandpa smiles. "Slow down, hotshot! They'll think you know too much!" The two of you share a laugh. Grandpa switches on a movie about aliens fighting rockers. Surprisingly, it's a very good movie. As the credits roll, you look over to see that Grandpa has fallen asleep. [[...|The House]]

(set: $metmarty to 1)You notice an odd ship making its way down the coast. It's hard to see from far away, but it appears to be some kind of raft. You're able to get a better look as the raft draws closer. It's bigger than you thought, with a well-sized cabin and a deck strewn with parcels. It's a miracle the thing can even stay afloat. The raft's owner notices you and rows towards the dock, waving excitedly. "Hey!" he calls out. "You Willie's kid?" [[Yeah, why?|Marty Meeting A]] (if: $skip is true)[(link: "->")[(go-to: "Marty's Shop")]]

Cob (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] Cobs can be found throughout the lake in many environments, from its deepest depths to its mildest shallows. During mating season, they lay their eggs in places choked with algae, so that the minnows can hide in the cloudy water. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]

Scud (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] A type of crustacean that feeds off of algae and lives in shallow water. Scuds form the backbone of most fishes' diets; more than a third of a Cob's diet is made up of Scuds, for example. They make good fishing lures. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]

Reffle (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] A cold-water relative to the southern Pleco, these armored catfish are named for their distinct method of locomotion. Their armor retains water, which allows them to survive for more than 20 hours on land. During this time, they use their fins and tail to slap off the ground -"Reffling"- and flop from one body of water to another.

Woolly Urchin (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] Woolly Urchins live in colonies, attaching themselves en masse to underwater structures. Their spines may be soft, but they secrete a paralyzing toxin. It's not too effective on humans though. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]

Lickskin (text-colour:#a9e34b)[Common] A fish with rough skin that feels like a tongue. They remain active during the winter months, while other fish slow down from the cold. This allows them to temporarily become apex predators. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]

Gnawfish (text-colour:magenta)[Rare] Gnawfish are fighting fish known for their strong jaws. No matter how tough the shellfish, a Gnawfish will never spit it out, munching on it for hours until it finally reaches its prey. Sometimes, though, they end up mistaking rocks for clams and chewing on them instead. [[Read about other fish|Ye Olde Fishing Almanac]] [[Close the book|The House]]
