Fish in the Waterpark lazy river during Summer until you catch the Dumbo Octopus Floatie, then take it back to Drew to finish his quest.
Drew’s Dumbo Octopus Floatie request is part of the Fischfest 2 Waterpark content, so the hunt starts inside the park rather than at the regular Dumbo Octopus fishing spot. Treat it like a Waterpark quest catch: get to the lazy river, cast there, and keep fishing until the floatie item appears.
Dumbo Octopus Floatie requirements for Drew
Before farming for the Dumbo Octopus Floatie, make sure the Waterpark is usable. If the park still is not flowing properly, clear Waterpark Wade’s repair quest first, then come back for Drew’s floatie request.
| Requirement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Location | Fish in the Waterpark lazy river at Fischfest 2 Island. |
| Season | Go during Summer. |
| Waterpark access | Use the functional Fischfest 2 Waterpark; finish Waterpark Wade’s repair quest if needed. |
| Bait, weather, and time | No special bait, weather, or time of day is needed. |
Stand in the lazy river itself and keep recasting there; moving to normal fishing areas can put you outside the Waterpark floatie pool.

Dumbo Octopus Floatie not appearing
If the Dumbo Octopus Floatie is not showing up, first check the season. The Waterpark floatie quest items are tied to Summer, so fishing there in another season can make the item feel missing even when your spot is right.
Also make sure you are actually fishing in the Waterpark pools or lazy river, not a nearby Fischfest shoreline or a regular island fishing area. The quest item is tied to the Waterpark’s fishing pool, not the normal Dumbo Octopus catch.
Do not burn time swapping bait or waiting for rain. The Dumbo Octopus Floatie does not use the regular Dumbo Octopus preferences, and the quest item does not need a specific weather window or time window.
Drew, Ryder, and Milo floatie requests
Drew is one of the Waterpark NPCs asking for a floatie item. While working around the same area, you may also run into Ryder and Milo, who have similar requests tied to other floaties.
| NPC | Floatie |
|---|---|
| Drew | Dumbo Octopus Floatie |
| Ryder | Crab Floatie |
| Milo | Pufferfish Floatie |
