Special Characters - Chip

Chip is a beaver who holds fishing tourneys in your town and can be found outside the town hall. To take part in a tourney you need to speak to Chip who will give you a fishing rod if you do not have one already and ask you to catch fish for him. The aim is to catch a bigger fish than your villagers or sometimes to catch a particular type of fish.

These pieces of furniture will not be spotlight Items in Nook�s or Redd�s shops.

Tip
If you have a big fish, such as a shark, keep it for the tourney and then wait till just before the tourney ends (6pm) and give it to Chip in the last minutes, if you then keep him talking till after 6pm, 99% of the time you will give him the biggest fish and win the tourney. Often if you give your big fish before this, the villagers will catch a larger one.
