Fish (SoS)

Fishing is one of the many activities you can partake in Story of Seasons. There are two ways that you can fish: one is to use the fishing rod acquired from Otmar at the end of spring, and the other method is to go diving for them in the rivers.
==Fishing Rod==
Otmar will present a basic fishing rod after 30 Spring Year 1 when you enter the General Store.
You can upgrade the basic rod to the sacred rod (get the blueprint from Tropical Country, requires: 1 basic rod, 3 bamboo, 1 yarn plus and 1 silver).
==Fishing with bait==
To use bait, just equip it and press "A" on the fishing decks before fishing. Different bait has different effects. To make the baits, just head to Otmar's General Store with different kinds of fish and he will do it for you with a small fee.
The available baits:
#Bait: 2 small fish, 100G
#*Increase fish bites by 10%
#Refined Bait: 2 prawn, 2 crab, 500G
#*Increase fish bites by 20%
#King Bait: 1 shellfish, 1 small fish, 1 medium fish, 1 large fish, 1000G
#*Increase fish size by up to 20 cm
#Magic Bait: 1 prawn, 1 crab, 1 medium fish, 1 large fish, 2000G
#*Increase fish star rank by up to 2 stars
==Fishing vs Diving==
For diving, there is a limit on the number of items you can find within each area per day. In Oak Tree Town, each riverway is split into 2 parts, east and west. Within each part, you can dive to find up to 3 items, so a total of 6 items per waterway per day. There is no limit to the number of fishes/items catchable per day with fishing rods.
There are certain items and fishes which can only be found with diving. Likewise, there are certain fishes with can only be caught with the rod.
Fish caught by diving with only give 1/2-1 star fish whereas rod-fishing allows catching fish with various star qualities and improves with fishing rank, bait and the type of rod used.
==Fishing Hatchery==
Swim to the Piedmont hatchery area and press "A" to open the inventory. Place the hatchery there and place a fish or clam in it. The fish will gradually multiply up to 10 fishes. Feed the fish everyday to increase their star rank. The clams produce pearls.
The hatcheries may break if it's overloaded so do keep an eye on it and don't keep it full all the time to avoid losing valuable fishes.
