Hi!

Here's a quick little fishing guide for you! I'm going to add some more information as I'm playing.

I'm planning to add the following information:

• General advice
  
• Fish and fishing locations
  
• The in-game quality hints you get
  
• The Master perks you can get from Twig
  
• Fishing pole upgrades

I'd be willing to make one of these for farming as well if there are any takers, so let me know!

• Invest in the Fishmonger shop specialisation: when you have a goods shop, you'll be able to upgrade it to a Fishmonger, which comes with several perks including "Small Fry 01" and "Small Fry 02".
  
  • Small Fry 01: Fish of 3 star quality or below, caught in the morning/evening, will have double yield
    
  • Small Fry 02:Fish of 4 star quality or below, caught in the morning/evening, will have double yield
  
  These perks will allow you to make more money in your shop and make it easier to get the fish you need for Twigs Master Perks.
  
  
• Time: before you get a real clock, time-keeping can be quite a hassle, especially when you need to know when to go to which area to fish. So a quick list:
  
  • 4 AM - 5 AM: Dawn
    
  • 6 AM - 11 AM: Morning
    
  • 12 AM: Noon
    
  • 1 PM - 6 PM: Afternoon
    
  • 7 PM - 8 PM: Dusk
    
  • 9 PM - 11 PM: Evening
    
  • 12 AM - 3 AM: Night
  
  
• If you get the first tier Fishing Master perk, you can use your fishing rod to retrieve notes and items that fell out of reach.
  
  
• There's a Blessing you can get on Druida Day that makes fish spawn in larger quantities, definitely worth it if you're planning on fishing a lot that week.
  
  
• You can use the Piscatootle item to order your owl to go fishing for you. As far as I can tell, the fish will be the quality you'd get if you just fished it with the rod. Yay! (Update: I think they might've changed this, I've been getting lower quality fish :( )
  
  
• Some fish need you to have certain temporary traits. There's a ghost trader you can encounter in Rivermoor that curses you if you buy items, sometimes those curses align with your fishing goals :)

In exchange for fish, Twig (at Dreamers Pond) will give you these fishing perks. You need to unlock them in four tiers:

🎣 Hook item: With this, you aren't limited to catching fish on your line!

🎣🎣 Angling Map: Identify currently active fish using the Angling Map feature on the map screen
🎣🎣 Big Hook: Catch fish more easily when landing the hook directly on them

🎣🎣🎣 Unzipped Fly: Attract fish from further away when rippling
🎣🎣🎣 Dace in the Hole: the hook will land accurately in the centre of the target zone

🎣🎣🎣🎣 Fish Food: Throw food into the water to attract nearby fish
🎣🎣🎣🎣 Codswallop: Fish near the hook will be splashed out of the water and automatically caught

Tip: have the Moghog of Cuckoo Wood help you improve the quality of your fish.
