Long casts means you're more likely to get higher quality fish (in my experience). You can often catch Carp without moving the green bar at all.Īll three of these things will improve your (in game) fishing skill, and as your skill improves, the size of the green bar increases, (and fish get somewhat less jumpy) making it easier.Īlso, don't do long casts, do as short a cast as possible for the area you're fishing in. Carp can be found in the Lakes (there's one south of the farm and there's one northeast of Robin's house. They don't require the used of the rod (although they do require bait) but they still give fishing experience. Once you complete this bundle and get the 3 Crab Pots, you can use those to fish. A fifth item (the crabs) can be acquired by fighting Hermit Crabs in the mines. Four of the items you need to complete that bundle can be found on the beach (as forage). Second, complete the Crab Pot bundle in the Community Center. Also, the trash can be converted into useful building materials using a Recycling machine. You won't catch anything except "trash", however, you still get some Fishing experience doing it. Personally, I hate it, and fish as little as possible (as soon as the Community Center is done, I usually stop fishing).įirst, fish in the ponds on your farm.

Consult the wiki to find out where to get the recipes, and check the saloon which sells a rotating selection of prepared food (scroll to the bottom of the list). Willy sells trout soup which gives +1 to fishing. If you are in the mountain lake and get a fish that moves too much for you, let it go and cast again.Ģ. I rely on catching carp to gain levels until I can buy the fiberglass rod. Carp as very easy to catch, they hardly move at all. Both areas have carp the secret woods has mostly carp. Better yet start in the pond in the secret woods once you've unlocked that area. But you have to level up first and in every game I play that's always a drag.ġ.

Add tackle when you finally get the iridium rod and many fish get fairly easy to catch. The mini game does get easier as your fishing skill increases and after you purchase better fishing rods. It's easy to get discouraged if you get a lot of very hard fish when your skill is very low. And you'll never know until you start the mini-game and observe it's behavior. You have to recognize that when you cast you might hook a very difficult fish, or an easy one.

#BEST RECIPE COMPLEX HARD ADVANCED ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE PC#
I use a PC (not with a controller) and find the fishing game difficult and not fun at all.
