How to catch the Lionfish

The Lionfish only comes out at dawn and dusk (5:00 to 8:00 and 17:00 to 20:00 on the in-game clock). The rest of the day it hides away and won't bite, so check the clock before you cast.

It's a level 3 catch (tricky) with the Brawler fighting style: when it thrashes, land a hit to counter.

Roughly 1 in 280 fish that spawn in the pond is a Lionfish. Worms make fish bite sooner, and rarer fish go for them, so bring some for the hard ones.

Every catch also rolls a random name with a prefix and a suffix, and a rarity tier from Common up to Super Duper Mega Rare, so no two catches are quite the same.
