I found a partially assembled kit labeled “Fish Caller.” Does anyone have a schematic for one that I could use to finish it? Also, what’s the theory behind how it works ... or does it?

Theory: It makes a ticking sound that sounds like a dying fish which attracts other fish.
You might try: https://www.electronickits.com/electronic-fish-caller-plan/ On the other hand if all it does is tick, you now know what the circuit is supposed to do and you might be able to complete it with just that much information. The above link sells plans to build such a thing. There are others selling kits as well. I simply did a web search to find the above.
I built one years ago. It was designed to produce a high frequency noise that supposedly attracted fish. Maybe my fish were hard of hearing but it never worked in my field trials. I have never seen them promoted in any fishing supply catalogs either.
Seriously, you can find all the circuits you want by Googling "Fish Caller Circuit" and looking at the images. Less than seriously, it emits Fishy Language for "Neener neener neener! You can't catch me!"
