Fishing In Fae Farm, Explained
Fishing is one of the earliest mechanics you’ll learn in Fae Farm! During your introductory chapters, the Mayor will send you tospeak to Eddy, who can be found outside his fishing shop inStay-a-While Bay.
Upon speaking to him for the first time, Eddy explains his job as a fisherman andgives you your first fishing rod. To test it out and prove you can fish, he’d like you tocatch any fishand bring it back to him.
His shop is thankfully right on the ocean, so head down to the shoreline andcast your rodinto the water afterselecting it from your tool ring.
Youcanalso catch a freshwater fish for this task, but with the ocean right nearby, it’s a time-saver to just catch a saltwater fish.
When you cast off, you’ll see agrowing arrowstretching out into the water with ablue bobber. This is yourthrow distancewhen yourelease the button to throw the line.
Once in the water, you’ll need toget a fish’s attention. You cansee all of the fishin the water no matter where you’re fishing, so you won’t be casting blind - simplycast into a fish’s line of sight.
The fish swim in apredictable pattern, which means you’ll need towatch the fish for a moment to work out its patternbefore casting to ensure you land the bobber in a good spot.
After your line has been cast, wait for a fish to notice it. You canjiggle your lureto catch their attention, and when they’ve latched on, you’ll receive the instruction tohold the button shown on screen to reel the fish in.
In fact, jiggling the lure a few times is almost a surefire way to get the fish hooked - they often don’t notice a lure right in their path until it jiggles.
But,the fish will pull backand put up a fight. If you notice that yourline is redand the fish you’ve hooked has ared, cartoonish struggle emoteabove its head,ease up on the buttonfor just a moment - you’llbreak your lineif it gets too tight!
Once you’ve gotten the fishdragged all the way back to your farmer, they’ll pull the fish from the water. It goes right intoyour inventory,and you’ll also get a notice that you have a new Almanac entry if it’s a fish you’re catching for the first time.
In all, you’ll be able to fish insaltwateroff the coast of Azoria,freshwaterlike rivers and ponds around Azoria,the Fae Realm,theMountain, thedeep sea, and forshellfish.
The Fae Realm and the Mountains are locked behind specific story progression, but the shellfis become availableonce the Whirlpools are gone, and the deep sea is accessible near theSaltwater Mineswhen you’ve got yourfairy wings.
