What do you go to Cindersap Forest most for?

I would recommend fall, because winter brings with it the nuisance that is Lingcod.

Very true, though they aren't the most common of reels and you can always cancel out, nice to not waste your bobber if you don't have to though

My experience is that they suddenly become a lot more common when I'm trying to fish for something specific, like perch. :D

In my game, this seems to happen a lot too. When I get a quest to catch certain fish (i.e. Sunfish, Red Snapper), then I seemingly get buckets-full of all the other fish available in the area while that specific fish that I need for the quest seem to be as rare as legendary fish. Even if I get quests for certain Gems (Ruby, Topaz), those specific gems seem rare to encounter in fishing treasure chests and gem nodes from any form of mines. Oddly enough, I haven't had that same type of "rarity effect" to deal with on Clint's quests to mine a certain amount of a certain type of ore.

I'm beginning to think that there is a hard-coded "artificial rarity spike" that takes effect when you get quests for a specific item.

Awwwwwww yeah! One other person likes to say hi to hat mouse!

I don't buy a lot of hats, mind you. I just like to run up and say hello. Poke!

Ha true, the ever-present paradox of the things you want becoming infinitely harder to get once you actually want them
