I am glad I read this because I figured the guy who wanted the yellow trout might have had useful magic.
(I'd had no luck with the dolman in the Forest of Wickedness - all it said was "You can't get blood from a stone" (??).
I tried the stone circle where the soothsayer appeared..if you 'talk' to the rocks, all but one says 'We stand the test of time' while the one at the bottom says (actually it's Dink.."My you're a big one aren't you?"
If you hit them, Dink says "useless ruins", while at that same one rock he says "Get stoned!".
There's another dolman round near Mandrake's ruined house..it's not the one mentioned in the walkthru though).
Back to the fish: In the dialogue that was cut from the current game, the wizard says "...thanks for the fish". I believe this is a tribute to Douglas Adams' 4th book in his Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series called "So Long and Thanks for the Fish".
Coincidentally, this is the 4th story in SoB.
Nice touch if it's right!
Anyway, it seems I can forget trying to get the yellow trout which I did see where it was supposed to be...and eat the blue fish I've been carrying for ages.lol
Oh and I do enjoy trying to hit the jumping fish with the bow or the hammer, to get quite good points. Unfortunately, with the exception of about 2 fish, it's impossible to hit them, you just can't get into the right position.
