Harvestella tries to mix the best of farming and life sims with an epic JRPG adventure. And it succeeds for the most part. It’s not quite the sim fans of Stardew Valley or Coral Island may be hoping for, but the game does try and blend your activities with the storyline. You’ll need to actually play through the main storyline to unlock new crafts, recipes, and even fish.
In this guide we’ll start you off with the basics of fishing, how to fish and most importantly where all the fish you want to find are located and how much they cost.
How To Fish in Harvestella
Luckily, Harvestella doesn’t make players jump through hoops in order to acquire a fishing pole or to be able to fish. Instead all you’ll need to get it is 800 Grilla. Once you have your money head on over to the Lethe General Store and purchase the Fishing Knowledge Book.
Armed with this book, look for the fish icons around bodies of water on the minmap. . This signifies fishable water, and you can cast your line out to begin fishing there.
Fishing itself is fairly easy, as all you need to do is cast your line and wait for a very large splash to occur around your bobber. Once you see the splash, simply reel in the fish by clicking or pressing your respective button once, and you’re done! The fish is automatically added to your backpack, where you can sell it for profit or save it in your storage containers for recipes later on.

Rare Fish Quest
Once you have completed a decent chunk of the main storyline in Harvestella, you will be able to travel to the lands of Shatolla, which is a waterside port town that uses fishing as its main source of income.
From there, you will need to complete the storyline that brings you to the Coral Shrine, where you will defeat the siren known as Lorelei. Once she has been defeated, you will unlock the Great Water Faerie, who will then build you a water biome on your farm that allows you to grow crops that don’t need to be watered.
From there, you will need to complete various tasks that the Water Faerie gives you, up until she unlocks the Level 2 water biome for you. Once that has been completed, you will need to travel to the North of the water biome plot of land, where there will be a Sahagin waiting nearby a pond. He will greet you and will teach you Fishing Level 2 in order for you to help him fish up some “speshul” fish that live all around the different areas. There are nine rare fish that you will need to catch for him, which are as follows:
