Fire Emblem: Three Houses - Fishing Guide

Fishing on Free Days

You can go fishing on free days to catch fish used in various dishes at the canteen. Fish can also be sold for gold at the shop. Head to the fish pond and talk to the fishkeeper to start fishing.

How to Fish

Before casting your line, you need to select some bait. This can be bought at shops or obtained as rewards from quests. Note that fish are attracted to various kinds of bait. Try to stock up on as many different kinds as possible.

After choosing your bait, cast your line and wait. When a fish bites, press the A button to time your tug on the rod with the circular pattern on the screen. If done right, the fish will lose a portion of its stamina. You will lose some of your own if you do not properly time your tug. The fish will be caught once its stamina has been completely depleted but will escape if you wear yourself out.

How to Identify a Rare Fish

While trying to reel in a fish, you can check its color. A red shadow signifies a higher grade of fish, meanwhile, a blue shadow indicates a lesser grade. Rare fish are indicated by a red, gold, purple, or rainbow shadow. Your bait can last up to three bites, the third fish escaping with the bait if you do not attempt to catch it.

To have a chance to acquire a purple or rainbow fish, use grade 5 bait.
