How to get	Old Fisher or Dockhand Maren — 5 Trout Bait for 10 Herring (raw or cooked), or 1 Gold per 100

Trout Bait is the second tier of Fishing bait, required to catch Trout in Whisperwood. It's traded up from Herring, the fish caught with the previous bait tier.

How to get

Method	Cost	Where
Trade	10 Herring (raw or cooked) → 5 Trout Bait	Old Fisher (The Pond) or Dockhand Maren (The Shores)
Buy	1 Gold per 100	Either Fishing NPC

Note: Raw and cooked Herring both count toward the trade, and raw is spent first so your cooked food survives as long as possible. Bait is only consumed on a successful catch, never on an empty cast.
