Let night, rain and bait change what a fishing rod pulls up

Fishing feels alive when the evening brings different fish than noon. But stacking several bonuses quickly makes one fish take over the whole pond, and a bad catch should not vanish either. Here is how to combine the conditions so the water stays believable.

Why this works

A pond feels alive when conditions tilt the odds, and honest when they cannot tilt them without limit. Capping the combined tilt and keeping junk as its own share means no condition can make the outcome certain or push the rest out.

When not to use it

Skip it when fishing is a skill game of timing and reflexes, or when a player should always get one named catch for a quest. There, make the result depend on how well they play, or hand over a fixed prize.
