| Location | The Pond |
| Services | Gives a starter fishing rod, sells and trades bait, and replaces lost rods. |

Services
| Service | Item | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Starter tool |  Fishing Rod
|
Gives players the basic tool used to catch Herring at The Pond and Trout in Whisperwood. |
| Tool replacement | Fishing Rod | Provides another rod if the player carries no rod that fishes the Pond. Carrying a Starter Fishing Rod or a Level 2 Fishing Rod opens his bait trades instead; the Fire-Resistant Fishing Rod can't fish the Pond, so it doesn't count. |
| Bait counter | Five baits | Sells five of the eight baits at 1 Gold per 100 (not the three sea baits), and trades catch up the whole bait ladder. |
Bait
Every Pond catch requires bait (since August 2026). The Old Fisher covers the whole bait economy at The Pond:
- Trades 1 Feather → 1 Feather Bait for free.
- Sells five baits (Feather Bait, Trout Bait, Bass Bait, Tuna Bait, and Squid Bait) at 1 Gold per 100.
- Runs the same fish-for-bait ladder as Dockhand Maren — 10 Herring → 5 Trout Bait, 10 Trout → 5 Bass Bait, 10 Bass → 5 Tuna Bait, 10 Tuna → 5 Squid Bait, 10 Swordfish → 5 Reef Jig, 10 Parrotfish → 5 Diving Plug, 10 Grouper → 5 Glow Jig. Raw or cooked fish both count, and raw is spent first.
The Old Fisher's counter sells bait only — fishing rods, the Wooden Raft and the three sea baits are sold exclusively by Dockhand Maren at The Shores.
