Gone fishin' in Rockstar'south PC, PS4, and Xbox One game.

Red Expressionless Redemption ii has finally hit PC. Whichever platform you decide to play on, among the many activities yous'll detect in the game is angling, which is a robust, enjoyable, and rewarding pursuit that's perfect for the game at large. It'due south too somewhat involved, so nosotros've put together a guide to assist you larn the basics, so y'all can rapidly first to catch fish and accept a fun time. This guide also goes into depth on the different types of fish in the game and where to discover them, while we've also provided a the map to help you find all xiii of the game'due south Legendary fish.

Starting off, fishing in Red Dead Redemption 2 is unlocked by playing the Chapter ii story mission "A Fisher Of Men," in which you teach young Jack Marston to fish. You have footling Jack down to the river for a line-fishing lesson, and this serves as your introduction to the organization.

How To Fish:

The first step is to select your Line-fishing Rod from the Items menu. Side by side, you must attach bait to it, and this is divided into 2 categories: Bobber and Lure (more on that later).

Provided you're playing with a controller, concur LT/L2 to grip the rod and then RT/R2 to cast. How long you lot hold down RT/R2 volition decide how far the cast goes. It might accept yous a few times to get a feel for it, but it's rewarding to land a cast precisely where you lot want it. Once you've cast your line out, what happens side by side depends on the bait yous used. With a bobber, all of you take to exercise is sit down and wait to get a seize with teeth You can tap RT/R2 to attract a nearby fish (if yous're continuing close enough to shore you might fifty-fifty run into the fish in the h2o), but do information technology too much and you'll spook them. With a lure, you lot take to reel in until you feel a bite. If you run across a fish, cast across it and reel in the lure so the fish sees it coming by. Be certain to await until yous feel a stiff seize with teeth before "hit"--with a bobber or a lure--as fish will often nibble a few times before biting down the hook. Once you've landed a fish, the real work begins.

The fish volition immediately pull dorsum, and yous'll feel your line get tight, with your rod bending in reaction to the tugging. Look until the fish becomes tired before reeling in; trying to reel as a fish is tugging will cause your line to break. With a fish on the line, push the left stick in the reverse direction the line-fishing is moving to tire it out faster. You lot can also click in the right stick and push button information technology in any direction to prevent the fish from taking more line out. Notwithstanding, you lot must be careful with this arroyo as you can snap your line very hands. You will also snap your line if a fish pulls away and gets behind a rock or other object.

You reel in past rotating the right stick counter clockwise. You'll want to reel in as fast as possible when the fish grows tired, while also being mindful of how much line yous have out, how taut the line is, and where the fish is in the water. Pushing the left stick down as you reel in speeds up the process because it brings the fish directly in towards you. I found information technology was helpful, if non a little embarrassing, to employ my pollex and index finger at the same time to reel in even faster.

The corporeality of fight a fish puts in is straight related to its size and type. You'll be able to reel in smaller fish such as bluegills, rock bass, and smallmouth bass with relative ease. But catching larger fish, like Sturgeon and Sockeye Salmon, can entail fights that take multiple minutes to complete. If you snap your line, you'll lose your bait or your lure, but don't get discouraged equally they are plenty of fish available in Ruby-red Dead Redemption 2'southward numerous lakes, rivers, and swamps.

Bait Types:

Just similar in real life, selecting the right bait is critically of import if you want to reel in a big one. You can purchase basic bait types similar staff of life, corn, and cheese, or spend more money on worms and crayfish that help y'all country bigger fish. In that location are likewise lures specific to rivers, lakes, and swamps, likewise equally "special" lures that you'll need to grab the biggest fish and the Legendary ones. Here is a rundown of the bait types we've come across so far.

Cheese: good for smaller fish.
Worms: splendid for medium sized lake fish.
Crayfish: practiced for larger size fish in deeper parts of rivers and lakes.

Special Swamp lure: increases your chances of catching medium to large swap fish.

Bait And Tackle Shops:

The Bait And Tackle shop in Lagras sells everything you need for fishing, including alive worms, crayfish, and all lure types. It's the only Allurement And Tackle shop we've found and so far in the game.

Types Of Fish And What To Use To Catch Them

At that place are many different types of fish that can exist found in Red Expressionless Redemption 2's lakes, ponds, rivers, and swamps. Here are the ones we've caught so far, too as the allurement type that provided the highest likelihood of reeling them in successfully.

When To Fish

The time of twenty-four hours matters if you desire to take the best success fishing. Early morning and afternoon are when fish seize with teeth the most, due to bugs flying close to the surface. You should likewise effort to fish when information technology's raining, because the drops on the h2o brand fish believe bugs are around.

Where To Fish And Specific Conditions

To discover the fish you're later on, you lot'll have to fish in the right spot. Hither's a rundown of the locations where nosotros've found the following fish.

Bluegill -- All lakes and rivers; near active during rain.
Chain Pickerel -- Lakes, rivers, and swamps; about active in sunny atmospheric condition.
Redfin Pickerel -- Rivers in the south; most active on warm, sunny days.
Rock Bass -- All clear water in the land; most active on sunny days.
Smallmouth Bass -- Northern rivers; most agile during rain.
Bullhead Catfish -- Swamps; almost agile during rain.
Perch -- Rivers and lakes across the country; most active during sunny conditions.
Lake Sturgeon -- Southern lakes and swamps; most active during overcast weather condition.

Steelhead Trout -- Lakes, mostly in the due south; most active during rainy conditions.
Muskie -- Northern lakes; most agile during clouded days.
Sockeye Salmon -- Rivers in the north; near active during overcast atmospheric condition.

One further annotation is that fish, particularly bigger ones, loooovvvvve to hang out at the mouths of waterfalls, as the water at that place is more than oxygenated than other areas. Try at that place if you're struggling.

Legendary Fish:

Head to the shore of Apartment Iron Lake in the Heartlands to a place called Gill Landing. Here, you'll meet a stranger named...Gill, who is a globe-renowned fisherman, or at least that'southward what he wants yous to believe. He'll hand y'all a map with the locations of xiii epic-sized fish you lot'll find throughout the game. Snag them all and report back to Gill for your prize. These are indeed mighty fish, so expect the toughest fishing battles the game has to offer. You will need to apply the "special" lures mentioned to a higher place to bag these large ones. The best advice I can give is to endeavor to grab them when they're already close to shore, so as to cut down on your reeling fourth dimension significantly and ameliorate the odds of landing the fish. Here'due south the map:

Sentinel Out For Goats

In that location are unpenned billy goats throughout Lagras that can cause problems while angling. On multiple occasions, I was angling near the swamp and a goat smacked me in the rear, breaking my angling line while I was reeling in. It was frustrating, and I idea it might take been a bug. Just it happened three times, so the lesson here is to lookout out for goats while line-fishing in Lagras.

Boats

At a certain point a few hours into the game, you will steal a gunkhole and bring information technology to army camp. At this signal you can utilize it to head further into a lake to get after the bigger fish that tend to live in deeper water. You tin likewise steal boats you discover on your journeying to fish anywhere you'd like.

No Ice Line-fishing

Red Dead Redemption 2 has snowy, common cold locations with frozen lakes and ponds, and ane of the Legendary fish is located in a lake that is partially frozen over. Notwithstanding, at that place doesn't appear to be any truthful ice fishing where you drill through the ice and drop a line in. Hither's to hoping Scarlet Dead Redemption 2 gets the guaranteed-seller "Ice Fishing Expansion" down the road…
