Learn how to catch the elusive Angler fish in Stardew Valley with our expert tips and tricks.

In Stardew Valley, five legendary fish reside, each a unique challenge for aspiring anglers. These elusive creatures can only be caught once per save file (or per player in multiplayer mode), making them prized catches. Among them, the Angler stands out with its distinctive bioluminescent lure, a dangling appendage used to attract prey in the murky depths. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of how to catch the Angler and what to do with it once you've landed this remarkable fish.
When and Where to Find the Angler

The Angler makes its appearance in the river within Pelican Town during the Fall season. Before you can even hope to entice this legendary fish, you'll need to reach at least Fishing Level 3. This can be achieved through regular fishing activities or by consuming food that provides temporary Fishing buffs.

The Angler prefers the northernmost section of the river. This includes the area around the wooden plank bridge and the shoreline extending north of it. Your casting location within this zone doesn't seem to significantly impact your chances, but you must be standing within this designated area.

With the correct season and fishing level, and by casting your line in the appropriate river zone, you have a 20% chance of hooking the Angler with each cast.

Increasing Your Chances

For players who haveunlocked Qi's Walnut Room, purchasing Magic Bait offers a significantadvantage. Magic Bait allows you to catch the Angler regardless of thecurrent season, removing the seasonal restriction.
