Location: Kawarthas, Ontario | Okay here's my strange answer for an offbeat clue/riddle/puzzle thing that is addictive yet frustrating and confusing...
HAT
on page 25 Betsy is wearing a HAT. There's a HAT HERE in whowHATwHEREwhenhowandwhy. Both HAT's are in plain sight. |
|
| |
|
| Betsy, as I have guessed to the Riddler before is known as the Lure Doctor...especially doctoring Jakes, Bobbies, and the like.
Page 25 details how she customizes a Bobbie Bait, so how about Betsy Pearson's custom Bobbie Bait?

|
| Besty is wearing Flip Flops, a bit odd!
How about her Flip Flops! |
|
| |
|
| Betsy's Bobbies maybe had Red Treble Hooks, also a bit odd? |
|
| |
|
| Besty's Custom Bobbies were perfectly weighted and showed neutral bouyancy. That created the idea behind the DDD, a crank bait with perfect neutral bouyancy?  |
|
| |
|
| The vertical hold Betsy has on that big fish!  |
