How to fish in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

To fish in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, you just need to obtain a fishing rod and find a body of water to cast your line into.

After you cast, you’ll see a shadow of a fish approach the line. It will eventually bite the line, you’ll hear a sound and an exclamation mark will appear. Use the same button you used to cast your line to reel the fish in. It’s quite simple - unlike certain fishing minigames in other titles!

To get a fishing rod, you just need to buy one from Van, the travelling merchant. It costs 500 gold to purchase, and you can upgrade it later.

There are various places you can catch fish in the game. Here’s a list of all the fishing spots!

Fishing Spot	Location
Upper River	Near the waterfall and Dig Site.
Lower River	Between your farm and Vesta.
Turtle Pond	Near the large turtle near Gustafa and Gordy.
Goddess Pond	In the forest, near where the Nature Sprites live.
Ocean	Next to the beach.
