Fish are catchable when fishing using a fishing pole. They can be found in the ocean, lake or river, and some are unique to either day or night or only appear when it rains. Fish are used in cooking and the fishing community center bundles. The length of each fish type is recorded, and viewable on the collection screen.
Fishing can be done near any body of water, but some places have lower rates of fish. These areas have a higher chance to reel in junk, which can be sold for a small profit or saved and turned into useful items with the recycler (which unlocks with level 4 fishing.)
There are certain locations that have a guaranteed chance of a goldstar fish if you have the "max" cast (or close to max). These are:
The southern tip of the island near the hat shop in the forest.
The southern tip of the second island in the mountain lake
The eastern pier in the ocean. (past the bridge that you repair)
In town all the way north and stand left of the little rock in front of the fence.
All these locations are also the exact locations for the legendary fish.
Fishing Mini Game
When a fish is hooked a window appears with a fishing mini-game. The player must move the highlighted area up or down to keep the fish inside it. While the fish overlaps it the catch meter will fill, while the fish is not inside the area it will decrease. If the catch meter fills completely the fish is caught, if it becomes completely empty the fish escapes. If the fish does not leave the meter boundary once, you will receive a "perfect" notification.
See the fishing page for more details about equipment, mechanics and things unlocked as the fishing skill levels up.
Fish Types
Legendary Fish
There are five fish in the game classified as 'legendary'. These fish are exceptionally rare, difficult to catch and can only be caught once. After catching a legendary fish it will not appear again.
An upgraded pole, bait and quality tackle will make catching these fish easier.
