    Fishing is one of the activities that can be done in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life. Not only can it be a pastime in between chores, but it can also be a good source of income for the farm. Read ahead as we talk about fishing and share some tips on how to start doing it and make money out of it in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life.

    How to get the Fishing Rod in A Wonderful Life

    The Fishing Rod can be purchased from Van for 500G as early as Spring 8, Year 1. It is recommended to save up for it and get it right away, as fish are one of the best gifts to give to villagers, especially to Daryl, who can give you the Seed Maker.

    How to use the Fishing Rod

    Fishing Rod - Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

    To use the Fishing Rod, stand near a body of water, then press the Use button (Y for Switch, Square for PS5, X for Xbox X|S) to cast out your line. Wait for a few moments until the bobber goes down accompanied by an exclamation mark; when this happens, press the use button again to reel in your line. You will then get your catch if you time the reel at the right time.

    How to upgrade the Fishing Rod

    To upgrade the Fishing Rod, you must first fulfill its usage requirement and reach a certain year per upgrade tier. All of its upgrades, except for the Goddess tier, can be bought from Van when he’s in town. Listed below are the conditions to unlock the upgrades and the earliest that they can be obtained:

    • Copper Fishing Rod – It can be unlocked after catching at least 500 fishes; it can be obtained as early as Summer 8, Year 1. It costs 1,000G.
    • Silver Fishing Rod – It can be unlocked after catching at least 300 fishes; it can be obtained as early as Spring 3, Year 2. It costs 10,000G.
    • Gold Fishing Rod – It can be unlocked after catching at least 500 fishes; it can be obtained as early as Spring 3, Year 3. It costs 50,000G.
    • Goddess Fishing Rod – It can be unlocked after reaching at least 90 friendship points with Gary and completing his request in Year 4.

    All Fishes in A Wonderful Life

    Most of the fishes in the game have different sizes, ranging from lil, normal, large, to huge. The higher the fishing rod tier is, the more it can attract and catch fishes of the larger size. These are all the fishes in the game, including some special items (*) that can be fished in certain fishing spots.

    Note: The table is a work in progress.
