Pond Smelt Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

“"I caught a pond smelt! Whoever smelt it dealt it!"”

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

　 “For many, thinking of pond smelt inevitably leads to thoughts of ice fishing in frozen rivers and lakes.

　 Ice fishing involves making a round hole in the ice, dropping in your fishing line, and...waiting.

　 Not to rain on anyone else's idea of fun, but...well, perhaps I shouldn't say anything.”
