How to catch the Moorish Idol

The Moorish Idol is out at any hour and in any weather, so it can bite on any cast.

It's a level 2 catch (fair) with the Elusive fighting style: zones fade in and out; only solid green counts.

Roughly 1 in 110 fish that spawn in the pond is a Moorish Idol. 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.
