✨Fishing Tips✨
There are lots of fishing guides about how to fish and since this is mainly a strategy guide not a mechanics guide I won't be covering all that here. But I do have one important tip about fishing mechanics that some guides leave out...
While fishing in areas with multiple types of fish, you can make a fish you don't want lose interest by tapping the fishing rod before it bites. Doing this will also bring your bobber closer to you, which will make the time you have to spend reeling in a fish shorter too!
✨The Best Fish to Catch✨
The regional types of Clamfish are the real MVPs of this game. They make good levelling up gifts for several characters and each clamfish you catch also gives you a stick. This is a fantastic benefit since you will need literally thousands of sticks to make craft-able items throughout the game. So, in my opinion, the only real benefit of fishing any other type of fish besides clamfish is to complete quests or the Fishing Goals Achievements.
After you get your fishing rod and discover the Crystal Caves and Cozy Islands, try to catch about 30 Briny Clamfish and 20 Cavern Clamfish during your first few days.
Briny Clamfish are one of the best levelling up gifts for
Hangyodon so you can use them all the way until he's level 15. Cavern Clamfish are a good starter gift for
Pekkle since they can help supplement your limited supply of his best starter gift, Stacked Stones.
***✨To Bog or Not to Bog✨ ***
Generally speaking, you don't really have to catch Bog Clamfish, but it's a good idea if you want the things they help you get! Bog Clamfish are a great source of sticks since their pond is so small and lets you catch a ton of fish very quickly due to the short reel lengths. The most ideal spot is the little bit of water between the dock & the graveyard exit. Bog Clamfish are also a good levelling up option for
Keroppi if you have a hard time catching Bush Friends.

✨Badtz-maru vs ||The Fwishing Well||✨
While you can release fish with Badtz-maru, I only recommend doing that if you really really need a regional supply like sand dollars or shinies before the end of the day, like for buying something in your shops.
If you have any extra clamfish once you unlock higher level gifts for the characters mentioned above, just hang onto them until you unlock ||the Fwishing Well — no, that's not a typo, it's a fish wishing well 😂||
||Generally speaking, it's more worth it to use the Fwishing Well to release fish since the items you receive from Badtz are plentifully available around the island, but you can only earn Fwishing Well-exclusive items from the Fwishing Well or other players in multiplayer.||
