Catching a stringfish isn't a walk in the park, but here's the scoop: You gotta fish in the river, but not just any spot, it has to be at the clifftop areas. Aim for December through March between 4 PM and 9 AM - that's when these elusive critters like to swim around. Don't forget, patience is key, and make sure you've got plenty of space in your inventory for all those fish you're gonna catch while searching for the stringfish!
Hot tip: Use bait! Stringfish can be shy, so throwing some bait in those clifftop river spots can really up your chances. Remember, winter months are your best bet鈥攂undle up and happy fishing!
Stringfish? Overrated. Spend your time catching sharks instead. Way cooler.
