Where to catch Amur Catfish in Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life

They really are the cat's whiskers...

Fishing is a staple of many RPG-style games, from farming sims to MMORPGs, and SOS: A Wonderful Life is no different. Just as in real life, I find it an excellent way to while away some time with your beautiful views and relaxation, occasionally rudely interrupted by an actual fish! But while some fish are easy to come by, others are far more rare. So if you want to know where and how to catch the Amur Fish in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, read on.

Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life – How to Get The Amur Catfish

Image by Pro Game Guides

The simple answer is that to catch an Amur Catfish you need to fish in the Turtle Pond with a Copper Fishing Rod. You’ll find the Turtle Pond (pictured) to the east of Gordy’s Workshop and north of the breach, just behind Lei-Over Inn. But the trickier part is getting your hands on a Copper Fishing Rod.

You’re going to have to grind fishing quite a bit before you can upgrade your fishing rod. This means you’ll need to have caught at least 200 fish, which I didn’t manage until early in Year 2. You’ll then need to have 1,000G to buy it from Van when he is in town. While it may take you a while, this is only the first upgrade, so it isn’t too tough (it will be a while until you get a Blessed Fishing Rod though).
