Salmon lure and rod
Salmon is a Beginner Lure catch ($3 lure, long Fishing Rod) at 10.8% of bites, even though the Fishipedia places it on the Desert island.
The lure decides which creatures bite, not the island, so you can hook Salmon while farming the Forest pool.
Drip Salmon
Drip Salmon exists and rolls the base 10% drip chance, up to 25% with the Wishbone.
Expect about 93 Beginner Lure bites per drip Salmon (37 with the full Wishbone).
Salmon sell price
Salmon sells for $14, a little above Cod and Carp from the same lure.
