==Biggest Fish==
==Biggest Fish==
The "biggest trick" to finding the "biggest fish" is to realize that each fish starts out in the same place each time you enter the pond. As long as you don't jump in the water and scare them to the deep water, you can easily pick out specific fish.

That being said, the biggest fish can always be found near arched log, just a little towards the three poles sticking out of the water. Target it once you find it, but be careful not to scare it away!

*DON'T SCARE THE FISH! They run to the deepest part of the pond if they get scared.
*DON'T SCARE THE FISH! They run to the deepest part of the pond if they get scared. This will also clutter all of the fish near where there largest fish is located, making it hard to catch it.
*Whenever the fish jumps out of the water quickly release the A button and the Analog stick or the fish will get away.
*You can use the Iron Boots to keep your feet down while you Z target your fish. You can also cast the line as long as your head is above the water.

*Time can be a large factor in finding the bigger fish.


==Frenzied Fish==
==Frenzied Fish==
Right before the sun sets and rises, little fish come out, causing all the others to go into a frenzy and chase after them. They're very easy to catch at this time. Once they've eaten a little fish, they'll calm down for about 30 seconds before starting up again. After a certain time, the little fish disappear and the frenzy stops.

Now, in some ways, this is the easiest time to fish, but in others, it's also the hardest. It's especially useful for catching the legendary Hylian Loach (see the section a little ways below). But, it's also INCREDIBLY hard to come at the perfect time when, not only are the fish frenzied, but the Loach is there.

Also, it's probably easier to find and catch the biggest fish the regular way, since the little ones won't get in the way and constantly snag your line that way.

After catching a 10 pounder (past) or 15 pounds (future), you'll be able to find the Sinking Lure. It can be found in a few locations but you'll have to find it again every time you leave. It's invisible, so just walk around the following areas until you find it:

After you get it, catching the really big fish will become a sinch, as they love this thing. It's especially useful for catching the infamous, Hylian Loach (see below). But sadly all the fish you catch with it are deemed "illegal." Unless of course you say pretty please to the Fisherman.
Note, you have to go and get the Sinking Lure immediately once you pay to play. If you start fishing or walk around in the pond right when you enter, the Sinking Lure will simply no longer appear. You'll have to leave the Fishing Pond and re-enter to get it. I recommend always checking the shallow stream first, staying against the outer wall. This way you don't scare as many fish to the center of the pond.

You can keep the fish you catch with the Sinking Lure by talking with the fisherman and choosing "Let's talk about something." After that, go ahead and weigh your fish and he'll let you keep it.

Line 72: Line 72:
This eel-like fish is very rare and weighs a lot! The prize for getting it is a measly 50 Rupees, but it sure does feel good to know you did it.

There's a 1 out of 4 chance that it will be in the lake each time you enter. If you're intending to catch it, it's best to enter, look for it, leave and try again if its not there. Once you've seen it, just get the rod, find the Sinking Lure and use the Iron Boots if you have them.
The Loach will appear 1 out of 4 times that you enter the Fishing Pond. Each time you enter, you have to pay the 20 rupee admission for it to ''count'' as one of the 4 times you enter the Pond. Enter the pond and immediately go and get the Sinking Lure. Then check around to see if you can find the Hylian Loach.
 
The Hylian Loach always starts in the exact same location, near the lilypads just beyond the arched log. It will always start there unless you scare it off, at which point it will then travel closer to the center of the pond, making it harder to catch.


==The Fisherman==
==The Fisherman==
As an adult you'll notice that the Fisherman is wearing a hat and a new rule has been posted that reads "4. Don't cast at anyone." Now, If you can cast at the Fisherman just right you'll snag his hat and pull it off his head, revealing that he's gone bald in the past 7 years. You can now either give it back, or throw it in the water for which he'll yell at you, then fine you 50 rupees. If you threw it in the water it'll be gone forever and every time you come back it'll still be gone. Now don't you feel bad?
