MYTHICAL · THE LAKE

Rhizodus

Rhizodus is the Lake mythical fish. GONE Studios' 1.0 notes state that the MOBY rod is required. The official species snapshot on 23 October 2026 records 29 catches, a 375,000 lb maximum, and nine bait names with catches.

The API does not publish a precise depth, required bait, weather, time of day, or fish spawn coordinate. The rod requirement is from the official 1.0 notes; the bait list below records historical catches, not a recipe.
