Festive Anglerfish

The Anglerfish is found in the Forgotten Lands in the North-West of the map. It is only found in the gold rippling fishing spots.

Festive Fugu

Fugu is one of the hardest fish in the game to catch! You'll need to run down to Dazzle Beach while it's raining and fish in the gold rippling fishing spots.

Festive Bass

Bass are common and easy to find in the Peaceful Meadow, Forest of Valor, Sunlit Plateau, and Frosted Heights. You can fish in the white rippling fishing spots, or outside the spots, for a chance to catch bass.

Festive Salmon

Salmon can be found in Sunlit Plateau and Frosted Heights, in the white rippling fishing spots.

Festive Squid

You can catch Squid in the Glade of Trust and the Forgotten Lands, in blue rippling fishing spots.
