In Dreamlight Valley, to catch a Glittering Herring, go to the Glade of Trust on a rainy day and fish at a golden pool. You can’t fish at golden spots when the weather isn’t right, so you’ll have to pray to the RNG gods that it rains in-game so you can finish this Friendship Quest. Tip: If you use Game Pass Ultimate like I do, starting up the game through Xbox Cloud Gaming doesn’t take long and can be done at any time of the day. This makes it easier to see what the weather is like in the Valley.
