Animal Crossing Summer Fishing Guide: How to Fish and Utilize Different Fish

Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers a delightful virtual escape to a serene island life, allowing players to engage in various activities, including fishing. Fishing in Animal Crossing is not only a relaxing pastime but also a fantastic way to earn ACNH Bells, decorate your island, and complete your Critterpedia. In this comprehensive fishing guide, we will explore the basics of fishing, essential tools, techniques, and the different types of fish you can catch in the game.

Getting Started:

To begin your fishing journey, you'll need a few key items: a fishing rod and patience. The fishing rod is readily available from the Nook's Cranny shop for a modest sum of Bells. Once you have it, head to any body of water on your island or the surrounding ocean to start casting your line.

Fishing Techniques:

Casting:

Stand near the water's edge, press and hold the A button, and release it when you want to cast your line. Aim for a spot where you see a fish shadow or ripples on the water's surface. Accuracy and timing are crucial for a successful cast.

Patience:

Once your line is in the water, wait patiently for a fish to approach and nibble at your bait. It's essential to remain calm and refrain from pulling the line prematurely. When the fish bites, you'll notice a splash or your bobber sinking into the water.

Reeling:

As soon as the fish bites, press and hold the A button to start reeling it in. Be careful not to reel too quickly, as it might scare the fish away. Instead, maintain a steady pace and keep an eye on the fish's movements.

Catching:

When the fish starts to struggle or pull the line, it's an indication that it might escape. To counter this, release the A button briefly to allow the fish to tire itself out. Once the struggle subsides, continue reeling until you successfully catch the fish.

Types of Fish:
