Location
The Walleye is a fish that can be caught in the river (in Pelican Town or Cindersap Forest), the Mountain Lake, and the Cindersap Forest pond during Fall when it is raining. It can also be caught in Winter if a Rain Totem is used. It can randomly be found in Garbage Cans during Fall and Winter, or at the Traveling Cart for 
315–1,000g. "If the player chooses the Riverland Farm or the Forest Farm, Walleye can also be caught in the farm pond."
Game code indicates it's available in Riverlands, Hill-Top, Forest, Wilderness, and Four Corners Farms, and I see nothing indicating the Walleye is restricted to the Forest Farm Pond and not the River as well. Also the Bundles page doesn't include the Mountain Lake as a catchable location. I'm not going to make changes without verifying with someone here as I've gotten some slight pushback on cleaning things up and consistency. Also think it would be nice if the Bundles themselves were Heading 3 or 4 or whatever so they could be accessible through the TOC, but that's just my opinion.

- There is no river on the Forest Farm, so I'm not sure what you mean there. When you say "game code" you need to specify which function and class you're referring to. And as I said on my talk page, the game code can be tricky. You need to step through the code and/or test extensively in-game before making multiple changes to the wiki, especially when you're adjusting your own changes. Alright?
- In Farm::getFish, the location is set to 0 for the Hill-Top farm (which normally means river), 1 for Riverland, Forest, & 4-Corners farms (which normally means pond), and -1 (anywhere) for all other farms. However, we need to test in-game and step through the code to be sure that those are accurate. This is a time-consuming process! So, when I say "proceed with caution", I mean it.
- Having said that, there are inconsistencies across pages on the wiki, and I appreciate your desire and efforts to rectify those. The Bundles page says the Walleye can be found in "Lakes" -- this should say "the Mountain Lake", as it's the only lake in the game (the "lake" in Cindersap Forest is a pond, not a lake). That's an easy problem to fix. As for the rest, we need more testing before making changes. margotbean (talk) 03:52, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
- Typo, meant Cindersap Forest when referring to the Pond/River. I didn't specify it here but I've specified it in multiple locations. I'm cross referencing Data\Locations, Data\Fish, and Farm::getFish. Hill-Top Farm setting 0 is referring to Data\Locations which specifies a 0 for River in Cindersap Forest, which Hill-Top pulls its pool from (https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Modding:Fish_data#Spawn_locations)and etc etc I'm saying the same thign you've said the same, but I guess I shoot back to "if we can't trust the code, what can we trust". In the meantime, I posit a question: Should we leave misleading or incorrect information if the code says otherwise when compared to the wiki, without testing? Or should we make an edit with code-"correct" information with/without a reference or note? I just want to make sure I'm marking the correct locations to come back to, or if I need to "ignore" it until there's proof. Spiderkace (talk) 04:08, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
