Fishing Strategy for New Toons

[Maribeth]

You may already know this, but here is a helpful way to get new species that has helped me a lot.

First: Just fish a lot so you have all the really common ones like Cat Fish and Star Fish, etc.

Second: Use Batleth's Fishing Guide (stickied under The Fishing Hole) to find all the fish you do not have that you can catch with the twig rod.

Third: Go to the playground/street it says where the fish is the least rare. I suggest only getting the ones that are common/rare and not ultra rare or you will be there forever. Later on, you can go back and catch the ultra rare fish.

Fourth: Fish only until you have gotten the fish you are trying to catch, then sell your fish and move on to the next species of fish.

Fifth: Get your new rod and repeat, this time looking for fish that can be caught with the Bamboo rod.

Sixth: Continue till you caught all the common/rare ones, then devote a LOT of time to fishing, and you'll catch the rarer ones sooner or later!

GOOD LUCK!
