Red Dead Redemption 2 allows you to fish. This is a robust, enjoyable and rewarding pursuit, perfect for the game in general. We have also developed a guide to help you learn the basics, so you can quickly start catching fish and having fun. This guide also describes in detail the different types of game fish and their location, while offering you a map to help you find the 13 legendary game fish.
To start, the fishing in Red Dead Redemption 2 is unlocked by playing the mission Story of Chapter 2 "A fisherman of men" where you teach young Jack Marston to fish. You bring little Jack to the river to take a fishing course, which will serve as an introduction to the system.
How to fish:
The first step is to select your fishing rod in the Items menu. Then you have to attach baits, divided into two categories: Bobber and Lure (for more information about this later).
Hold LT / L2 to grab the rod and then RT / R2 to launch. The length of time you hold RT / R2 will determine the distance traveled by the cast. It may take you several times, but it is rewarding to reach a casting exactly where you want it. Once you have launched your line, the following depends on the bait you used. With a cap, all you have to do is sit back and wait to eat a piece. You can press RT / R2 to attract a nearby fish (if you stand close enough to the shore, you might even see the fish in the water), but do it too much and you will scare them away. With a lure, you have to wrap yourself up to feel a bite. If you see a fish, throw it out and unroll the lure for the fish to see. Make sure to wait until you feel a strong bite before "hitting" – with a bobber or lure – as the fish often chews several times before biting the hook. Once you have landed a fish, the real work begins.
The fish will retire immediately and you will feel your line tighten, your cane bending in response to tugging. Wait until the fish is tired before entering it; If you try to roll a fish, your line will break. With a fish on the line, push the left stick in the opposite direction; fishing moves to tire him faster. You can also click on the right stick and push it in any direction to prevent the fish from going out anymore online. However, you must be careful with this approach because you can break your line very easily. You will also be able to break your line if a fish moves away from behind a rock or other object.
You wind up by turning the right handle counter-clockwise. You will want to retreat as quickly as possible when the fish is tired, while being aware of the length of the line, the line tension and the position of the fish in the water. By pressing the left joystick while you roll up, the process is speeded up because it brings the fish directly to you. I found that it was helpful, if not a bit awkward, to use my thumb and index finger at the same time to move even faster.
The amount of fighting that a fish puts is directly related to its size and type. You will be able to bring back smaller fish such as bluegills, rock bass and smallmouth bass with relative ease. But catching bigger fish, such as sturgeon and sockeye salmon, can involve fights that last several minutes. If you snap your line, you lose your bait or lure, but do not get discouraged because they have plenty of fish in the many lakes, rivers and swamps of Red Dead Redemption 2.
Types of baits:
As in real life, it is essential to choose the right bait if you want to bring a big one. You can buy basic bait types like bread, corn and cheese, or spend more money on worms and crayfish that will help you land bigger fish. There are also lures specific to rivers, lakes and wetlands, as well as "special" lures that you will need to catch the biggest and most legendary fish. Here is an overview of the types of baits we have encountered so far.
Bobber:
- Bread: good for small fish
- Corn: good for small fish.
- Cheese: good for small fish.
- Towards: excellent for medium sized lake fish.
- Crayfish: good for large fish in deep parts of rivers and lakes.
- crickets: excellent for attracting medium-sized river fish.
Lure:
- River lure: attracts all small and medium-sized fish in rivers.
- Lake lure: attracts the biggest fish living in the lakes.
- Swamp lure: attracts medium and large fish living in the marshes
- River lure special: Increases your chances of catching medium to large sized river fish.
- Lake special lure: Increases your chances of catching medium to large lake fish.
- Special lure of swamps: Increases your chances of catching medium to large exchangeable fish.
Bait shops and tackle:
The Bait And Tackle store in Lagras sells everything you need for fishing, including live worms, crayfish and all types of lures. It's the only Bait And Tackle store we've found to date in the game.
Types of fish and what to use to catch them
There are many types of fish in the lakes, ponds, rivers and swamps of Red Dead Redemption 2. Here are the ones we have discovered so far, as well as the type of bait that offered the greater likelihood of reintroducing them successfully.
- Bluegill – Cheese
- Mesh pike — Corn
- Black walleye – Bread
- Rock Bass – Cheese or other natural bait
- Smallmouth bass – Any type of natural bait
- Catfish – Cheese or corn
- pole – Bread
- Yellow Sturgeon – Lake lure
- Largemouth bass – Crayfish
- Steelhead Trout — Towards
- Musk – Lake lure
- Sockeye Salmon – river lure
When to fish
The time of day counts if you want to have the best success in fishing. It is early morning and afternoon that the fish sting the most, because of insects that fly near the surface. You should also try to fish when it is raining because the drops on the water make fish think that insects are present.
Where to fish and specific conditions
To find the fish you are looking for, you have to fish in the right place. Here is an overview of where we found the following fish.
- Bluegill – all lakes and rivers; more active during the rain.
- Mesh pike – lakes, rivers and marshes; more active in sunny weather.
- Black walleye – rivers to the south; more active in hot, sunny weather.
- Rock Bass – all the clear waters of the country; more active on sunny days.
- Smallmouth bass – Northern rivers; more active during the rain.
- Catfish — Swamps; more active during the rain.
- pole – rivers and lakes across the country; more active in sunny weather.
- Yellow Sturgeon – the lakes and marshes of the south; the most active in overcast weather.
- Largemouth bass – all southern waters; more active in rainy weather.
- Steelhead Trout – lakes, mainly in the south; more active in rainy weather.
- Musk – the northern lakes; more active in overcast weather.
- Sockeye Salmon – the rivers to the north; the most active in overcast weather.
Another note is that fish, especially the bigger ones, loooovvvvve to drag in the mouth of waterfalls, because the water there is more oxygenated than other areas. Try it if you have trouble.
Legendary fish:
Head to the shore of Flat Iron Lake, in the Heartlands, to a place called Gill Landing. Here you will meet a stranger named … Gill, a world famous fisherman, or at least that's what he wants you to believe. He'll give you a map with the 13 epic fish pitches you'll find throughout the game. Catch them all and report to Gill for your prize. These are indeed powerful fish, so expect the most difficult fishing battles the game has to offer. You will have to use the "special" lures mentioned above to catch these big ones. The best advice I can give you is to try to catch them when they are already near the shore, so as to reduce your turnaround time significantly and improve the chances of landing the fish. Here is the map:
Be careful with goats
There are boiled goats in the Lagras region that can cause problems during fishing. Several times I was fishing near the marsh and a goat hit me at the back, breaking my fishing line as I turned around. It was frustrating and I thought it might be a virus. But as it has happened three times, the lesson to remember is to pay attention to the goats when fishing in Lagras.
boats
At some point, after a few hours of play, you will steal a boat and bring it to camp. At this point, you can use it to go deeper into a lake to attack the larger fish that tend to live in deeper waters. You can also fly the boats you find on your trip to fish wherever you want.
No ice fishing
Red Dead Redemption 2 has snow and cold spots with frozen lakes and ponds, and one of the legendary fish is located in a partially frozen lake. However, there does not seem to be any real fishing on the ice if you make a line and pass a line. Hope Red Dead Redemption 2 gets the "fishing guarantee seller" on the road …
