Okay, so I finally decided to tackle catching a Walleye in Stardew Valley. I’d heard it’s a bit tricky, and boy, were they right! It took me a few tries, but I figured it out, and I’m here to spill the beans.
First, I made sure it was the right season. You can only catch these suckers in Fall, and get it only when it’s raining. I wasted a whole in-game day fishing in the Summer before I double-checked the wiki. Don’t be like me, folks – check the seasons!
Then, I did some digging to find out where to catch. Turns out, the river, the mountain lake, and the forest pond. And I need to go fishing between 12 pm and 2 am.
Gearing Up
Before I even cast my line, I made sure I had decent gear. My fishing level wasn’t super high, so I used the Fiberglass Rod, and put some bait on it.
The Waiting Game (and the Rain!)
Now, the real challenge: patience. I cast my line into the river, and… nothing. For a long time. I almost gave up, thinking maybe my game was bugged. Finally, I get a bite! And it’s not some trash or a Chub. I can feel it’s different… a bit more fight than the usual small fry.
The key is to keep the fish icon within the green bar.
It took a few tries, and my bar was jumping all over the place, but I managed to reel it in. And there it was – a Walleye! Not the biggest one, but hey, I caught it!
My Takeaways
- Season and Weather are Key: Fall, raining, and that’s your Walleye window.
- Location: River, Mountain Lake, Cindersap Forest pond.
- Time:12 pm to 2 am.
- Gear Up: At least a Fiberglass Rod and some bait will make your life easier.
- Patience, Young Padawan: It might take a while, but don’t give up!
So, there you have it – my adventure in Walleye-catching. It’s not rocket science, but it does take a bit of know-how and a whole lot of waiting. Good luck, and may your fish be plentiful!
