The Complete Guide to Catching Salmon in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Salmon is one of the many fish species you can catch in Disney Dreamlight Valley. This tasty fish is a great source of energy and can be used in delicious recipes like Sake Sushi and Apple Cider Glazed Salmon. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about catching salmon in Dreamlight Valley.

Where to Find Salmon

Salmon prefer the cooler waters of Dreamlight Valley and can be caught in the following biomes:

• Frosted Heights
• Sunlit Plateau
• The Grasslands
• The Promenade

Of these locations, Frosted Heights near the ice walls is the most reliable for salmon. Sunlit Plateau and The Grasslands have pools and rivers where salmon congregate as well. Check along the shoreline cliffs in The Promenade too

When salmon fishing, look for white-colored ripple patterns in the water. Salmon specifically spawn in the white ripples. Once you locate them cast your line into that white foamy water to have the best chance.

Recommended Fishing Rods and Bait

Fiberglass Fishing Rods and other simple rods can catch salmon, but better rods will save you time and effort. The Iridium Fishing Rod is the strongest option if you’ve unlocked Gaston’s Stall.

For bait, salmon seem to take a liking to bread bait, which can be crafted at a cooking station. But nightcrawlers, minnows, and grubs also work when fished slowly.

It’s a good idea to raise your fishing skill level by catching smaller fish first This will make rarer fish like salmon easier by reducing the minimum reel bar needed to hook them

Fishing Techniques

To catch salmon consistently in Dreamlight Valley, master these fishing techniques:

• Fish during active hours. Salmon bite more regularly between 12 PM – 4 PM and 5 PM – 2 AM.

• Watch the bobber closely. Salmon have subtle bites, so set the hook immediately when you see any movement.

• Use the reel technique. When the bar is almost at the top, quickly press the reel button to hook salmon before they let go of the bait.

• Fish during rainfall. Increased rain makes fish more active.

• Move spots if needed. If the salmon stop biting, try another white ripple pool nearby.

• Equip fishing perks. Perks like Angler’s Intuition highlight spots with fish activity.

• Use fish bait. Bait significantly reduces the number of casts needed to get a bite.

With practice using these tips, you’ll be reeling in salmon consistently in no time!
