Fishing Spot and Catch Planning

Choosing a fishing spot and time around a target catch makes fishing a more reliable supply activity.

WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The River, Sea, and Waterfall fishing spots, with the Waterfall north of the stone bridge west of the graveyard.

Fishing tables differ by location and time, so a rod alone does not make every fish available everywhere. Use the target fish as the planning anchor: compare its listed spot and time, bring the rod and suitable bait, and fish only where the target is available. This is a distinct planning guide for selecting a catch route; it does not promise a guaranteed bite or fixed yield.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • A Fishing Rod, such as the Simple Fishing Rod from the Lighthouse Keeper.
  • Access to fishing interactions at the selected spot.
  • Bait suited to the target fish where bait is applicable.
  • A target fish or recipe need to guide the trip.
  1. Open the fishing guide and identify the target fish’s listed location and time conditions.
  2. Choose the matching spot rather than assuming all locations share the same catch table.
  3. Buy or bring a Fishing Rod and equip bait appropriate to the target options.
  4. Travel to the selected River, Sea, or Waterfall fishing interaction.
  5. Check the fishing screen’s available options and cast when the target is represented.
  6. Follow the casting prompts and collect catches as they land.
  7. Keep target fish and recipe needs; sell or process only the remaining surplus.

Farming tips

  • If the target is not available, adjust the spot or time according to its listed conditions instead of repeatedly casting blindly.
  • Carry enough inventory room to separate target fish from incidental catches.

Repeat, collect and use

Fishing trips are repeatable, but catch composition varies with location, time, and bait; a specific fish is not guaranteed on each cast.

Common mistakes

  • Using one spot for every target: select by the fish’s catch table.
  • Ignoring time conditions: come back when the target is available.
  • Selling incidental fish before checking recipes: retain anything needed for cooking or quests.

When to stop or switch

Stop once the target amount is collected; switch spots or activities if the fish is not available at the current location and time.
