How Does Fishing Work?
How To Catch Fish
In Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, fishing is delightfully simple, much easier than🐻 the famously tough fishing minigam꧟es in other farming sims.
To fish in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, you'll simply need to approach a body of water and then cast your line with a fishing rod in hand.
Your farmer will cast out, and you'll see the shadow of a fish nibbling at the line. When the fish bites, you'll hear a sound and see an exclamation mark on screen. When playing on a controller, you'll also feel a vibration.
The fish will nip at the line a few times before biting, and reeling in too soon will cause the fish to swim away.
To reel in your catch, click the same button you used to cast. Your farmer will reel in the catch, and then you'll see the name, size, and weight of the fish you caught!
You only need to tap the button to reel in, so save your stamina and skip the button-m⭕ashing☂.
Where To Go Fishing
There are five spots in Story of Seasons💜: A Wonderful Life f🎐or fishing. They are:
- Upper River over by the waterfall and the Dig Site.
- Lower River, on the opposite side of the bridge between your farm and Vesta's downriver.
- Goddess Pond in the Forest by where the Nature Sprites live, the pond you visit each Spring to check for the Goddess.
- Turtle Pond, where the large turtle occasionally appears between Gustafa and Gordy's yards.
- The Ocean, which is accessed at the entirety of the beach without splitting into subsections.
You catch different fish in each fishing spot, more so as🐭 you collect new fishing rods, so be sure you're diversifying your Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Li𒀰fe fishing locations.
