Placement

BrokenReads the scene's FIRST water box every frame with no null check — placed in a scene without a water box it crashes on the first update.
CaveatMoving the rod onto the B button (and disabling the other buttons while you fish) is keyed to the Fishing Pond SCENE id, not to this actor. Rebuild the pond at that scene and it follows; build it anywhere else and Link still holds the rod, but the HUD keeps his normal B item.

The pond is built around the world origin: the water has to be a bowl about 920 units wide from the center and about 135 units deep, or the lure and the fish sit at the wrong height. The scene's own floor is never measured.

The owner draws the lily pads, reeds, rocks and wooden posts itself, at fixed spots — and the rocks and posts carry their own collision, so don't model them into the room.
