Did you even read the game code? It clearly says P(getting a Golden Tag) = 0.33x, where x is the number of Rainbow Trout caught. Also, you cannot get more than one Golden Tag per catch.

'''Trout Derby''' is a fishing mini [[Festivals|festival]] that occurs on the 20th and 21st of [[Summer]]. The festival begins at 6:10am and ends at 2:00am on both days. The festival takes place in [[Cindersap Forest]] by the river near [[Marnie's Ranch]]. During the festival, players can fish in the river to catch [[Rainbow Trout]], which can be caught all day long. When they catch a Rainbow Trout, there is a 33% chance to get a [[File:Golden Tag.png|24px]] Golden Tag, which is multiplied by the number of Rainbow Trout caught.<ref name="goldentag" /> This means that there is a 55% chance to get a Golden Tag when 2 Rainbow Trout are caught at once and a 70% chance to get a Golden Tag when 3 Rainbow Trout are caught at once.

When a Golden Tag is obtained, if the player did not get a [[Fishing#Treasure Chests|Fishing Treasure Chest]] it will be caught with the fish itself. Otherwise it will be obtained with the treasure chest that appears while catching the Rainbow Trout.

Unlike other festivals, shops and homes throughout Stardew Valley are not closed on the days of the event, and time continues to pass during the festival. [[Animals]] also need to be fed during the event; the game will not automatically consider them to be fed.

==Tips==
*If the player has access to [[Challenge Bait]], it is recommended to use that for this event, as catching 3 [[Rainbow Trout]] at once increases the probability of getting at least one Golden Tag to around 70%. The player can use [[Cork Bobber]]s or Fishing [[Buff]]s to increase the size of the fishing bar, making it less likely the Rainbow Trout will escape the fishing bar.

*Otherwise, it is recommended that the player craft a [[Bait Maker]] to obtain some Rainbow Trout Bait as it will significantly increase the amount of Rainbow Trout the player can catch each day.
