Pond Smelt Tourney

Near my town tree, I recently swapped out an old chocolate heart and replaced it with some sparkling cider from New Year’s Eve. Now my dream visitors can enjoy a drink as they explore Forest.

Some sparkling cider near my town tree for dream visitors.

Today, Chip was overseeing the first fishing tournament of 2018. But the fish had to be a pond smelt, or it would be ineligible.

Chip: This month's Fishing Tourney is all about the pond smelt!

My intention wasn’t to win the tournament, but just to catch one pond smelt and maybe get third place (since I never got the third-place trophy). The first fish I caught was a bitterling; no good. But the second fish was indeed a pond smelt.

I caught a pond smelt! It could sure use a bath! 6.65 in.

I took it over to Chip, and to my surprise, my 6.65 incher was a new record! Oops. Getting the top spot was never this easy when I was actually trying to win. 😉 But at least I got a free TV out of it.

Chip: Oh, that's right! Let me give you a puffer-fish TV in honor of your new record! Great!

I returned after 6:00 for the awards ceremony. As expected, my fish held on to the top spot, and I won the tournament. Boots got 2nd place and Vivian was third.

The smelt dealt me a win.

Back outside, Boots told me his secret dream. No, it’s not what you might think. His dream is to own a ptera right wing. Crazy guy.

Boots: My secret dream is to own my own ptera right wing...

Coincidentally, I just happened to be carrying around a ptera right wing in my pockets. 😛 So I sold it to him for 5,400 bells.

Boots: And...you've...got...EXACTLY THE KIND I'M LOOKING FOR!!

My recent dream visitors have been Shadow from Laputa, Nina from Fuurin, Davey from DriftKin, Daniel from DanWoof, Logan from New Leaf, Alanis from Cupcake, and Daria from Wysteria. Thanks for stopping by!

If you enjoy seeing villagers fall into pitfalls, then check this video out. It’s from City Folk, not New Leaf, but I think it’s something any Animal Crossing fan may enjoy. 🙂
