Fishing Guide

How does fishing work?
Fixing boat costs 39000 coins. Without speeding up diamonds it will take three days. Using 60 diamonds you are set to go at once.

 Down the river you will discover a new fishing area and get to meet Angus, who will guide you through the basics of fishing. Once you have followed the tutorial Angus will give you 3 free lures and you will be ready to catch your first fish! Visit the fishing hut to check your progress in your uncles old fishing book, and there you will find a reward for each new type of fish you catch!

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

 When you finally return home, you will find a nice stash of fish fillet to create new and exciting products with!

What is the scrapbook?
 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 weight of the fish. Obviously the heaviest catch will give the highest reward for each fish species. So make sure you catch them all, try and catch every kind of fish weight to get all the precious rewards!

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 (have a sneak peek at the scrapbook and get a hint!). You get 3 red lures for free but you will have to produce more lures if you want to catch more fish

You don't need any resources to produce the red lure but you will need vouchers to produce other lures.

How do I fish?
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 circle by pulling the line in the opposite direction to where the fish is swimming.

 If you can keep the fish inside the circle 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.

Angus will show you how to fish when you first enter the fishing area. Angus will also help you out any time, just by tap him to see the tutorial again.

Fishing area cool down
Once you get fish from fishing area it goes to cool down. You will have to wait some time to fish again there. By opening more fishing areas it's easy to avoid waiting to fish again.

How to unlock fishing areas?
 It works the same way as unlocking expansion slots 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.

If you need expansion items to open an area, you can be patient and wait until you find the missing tools through 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 "+". Using the second option, you will be immediately able to unlock a new fishing area.

 There are several different types of fishing areas to explore. For example rocky areas, deep and shallow areas, reef areas. In different areas, different types of fish can be caught.

 Take a closer look at the pictures in the fishing book for clues about which areas contain which fish!

I lost my lure!!!
Luckily, you don't lose the lure if you don't catch the fish! You can try fishing with the same lure as many times as you need until you manage to catch a fish.

Only when you catch a fish, the lure is deducted from your lure box.

Fishing scrapbook - more info
Look for hints, even you have not catch fish, the location and lure picture show what where and what type of lure you should be using.

Every fish has three different weight levels, bronze, silver and gold. You can claim reward for all of those. So there's 30 different fish with 3 different weight levels, that equals 90 rewards on your scrapbook. Click fish image to claim reward.
