2. Travel to Suburban Lake and watch for a unknown shadow — Unknown.
3. Fish during any time of day. Any hour works, so this is a flexible filler catch.
4. Weather does not gate this catch — it bites in any condition.
5. Expect None/10 difficulty — .

You need fishing level 4 before Freshwater Crab starts appearing, so this is an early-game catch you can farm while unlocking later zones. The shadow reads as unknown on the water, which is the fastest way to tell it apart from the other fish sharing the same spot.
