To create new lures just tap on the lure workbench and select the type of lure you would like to make.

What is the My Fishing Book?

 When you tap on your fishing hut, you will find a scrapbook where you can keep a log on all the different fish you have caught and the rewards you have unlocked.

There are 30 different fish species that can be caught and when you catch a new fish type, go back to your fish scrapbook, flip through the pages until you find its picture flashing and claim a reward. The rewards you receive depend on the fish’s weight. Obviously the heaviest catch will give the highest reward for each fish species. So make sure you catch them all.

Also, as you flip through the pages and wonder how to catch more of one type of fish or how to catch a new type of fish, take a closer look to find hints on what types of lures attract a certain fish and what fishing area you can find them. For example, tap and hold the pictures to read a brief description about the different types of fish.

How do I get lures?

The purpose of the lure is to use movement and color to catch the fish's attention. You can produce 5 different kinds of lures (red, green, blue, purple and gold) at the lure workbench and each lure attracts different kinds of fishes .  You don't need any resources to produce the red lure but you will need vouchers to produce the other lures.

How do I fish?

To see the tutorial on how to fish just tap Angus.

To start fishing in any open fishing area just tap and hold a lure, and drag it into the water. Try to attract a fish to the bait by slowly moving it in the water. When a fish bites, a circle will appear around the pool and start to close. You need to keep the struggling fish inside the (green) circle by pulling the line in the opposite direction to where the fish is swimming.

If you can keep the fish inside the circle (green) until it closes, you have caught the fish and can collect your reward from the fishing scrapbook. Don’t worry about the ones that get away, you can try again until you catch one!  You won’t lose your lure if the fish get away.

 How to unlock fishing areas?

It works the same way as unlocking land expansion back at your farm. You will need a certain amount of land deeds, mallets and marker stakes to unlock any given area – the exact amount required will display when you tap on a locked area.

You can find the expansion items by playing the game (harvesting crops, collecting products from animals, spinning the wheel ,etc.), or you can purchase the missing tools with diamonds by clicking on the "+".

I lost my lure!!!

You don't lose the lure if you don't catch the fish! You can try fishing with the same lure as many times until you catch a fish.

Fish Weights

Each fish has three different weight levels, bronze, silver and gold. You can claim a reward (Diamonds) for each level. There are 30 different fish with 3 different weight levels, which equals 90 rewards.
