Catching axolotls

[Piwakawaka]

Hi y'all, what's the best bait combo/weather/location to catch axolotls? Gotta get that pink cowboy hat for a pink pony club fit 👉👉

Sparkling lure
Any freshwater (The lake, a pond, pretty much anywhere besides the ocean)
Clear weather
Any bait, except for worms, don’t use those.

I'll give it a go, thank you!

For future reference, weather and location effect nothing when it comes to fish and are purely placebo. Only two fish in the game are affected by weather; the anomalocaris and helicoprion. Bait only goes so far as well. For rarer "common" fish such as the bull shark or axolotl, there is practically nothing you can really do to raise your chance. It is pure luck

Edit: Horseshoe and leedsichthys are also rain exclusive. Thanks for correcting me. Either way, still right. No other fish in the game is affected by anything besides lure (and even that has a marginal impact on catch rates)

There is a decrease in odds of catching non-rain fish such as Axolotls while it's raining, due to the rain fish being added to the pool.
"Location" does matter if you interpret it as saltwater vs freshwater, but yeah all ponds/rivers are exactly the same.

Sparkling lure substantially increases the odds for tier 3 fish such as Bull Sharks and Axolotls (Literally triples the chances, i.e from 1/245 to 1/87 on Bull Sharks)
