Where to find a dorado?

[Poki]

This is the only normal fish that I'm missing.
Wiki states that you can fish it in the river during the day at summer season, but I've been fishing for more than 10 days in the village river and it doesn't appear.

Can someone offer some info on this? Did anyone actually managed to catch one on summer?

I don't understand this game... Almost always I catch a legendary fish on my first time, but I can't even catch a dorado? I have tried so many different locations in the forest. I tried where you catch the Glacierfish, south of Leah's house, on the small island with the tree... The list continues. I am using an iridium rod, level 9 fishing, and the trap bobber. This is getting really frustrating because I have dedicated so many days to catch ONE fish.

The location along the river is entirely irrelevant, so long as you are fishing in the forest (fishing at the Glacierfish spot, however, pretty much ensures a gold-quality catch). Did you make sure to fish at the correct time? Summer, before sunset?

Yes, I am in summer and I fish before 7:00 PM. So you recommend fishing at the Glacierfish spot?

The Dorado only comes from the forest river in summer, anytime before 7pm. I got several from the deep water south of Leah's cottage.

For those having trouble with the pufferfish, it's important to know that it can only be caught between Noon and 4pm from the Ocean. Even then it's rarely hooked, it took me two sessions to get about 3 of them.

There's an amazing wiki listing every fish and the conditions (like time and weather) for catching it, and a difficulty rating. http://stardewvalleywiki.com/Fish

You *can* catch fish anywhere in the river, but I believe that if you aim for "deeper"/darker blue spots, like where you can almost reach from south of Leah's house, you get hits faster, and have a slight bias towards larger fish, and away from seaweed.

Only for better quality fish. It's not absolutely required. Dorado are very rare no matter where you stand.

Sorry, I just realized I forgot to give the best advice: FIND RIPPLES. They don't increase the frequency of Dorado, but rather the frequency of ALL fish. So it'll take much less time to find the Dorado you seek. If the ripples are out of reach, fish near them until you see them disappear, then go look for the new ripple spot.

I've just made a test of fishing locations. Those of you who are interested in advanced fishing and/or statistics might want to check it out:

Max out your fishing level then eat the Dish O' Sea Harshbrown + Sardinex2 plate or Clam Chowder Clam + Any Milk. Meals can not stack stats but once you do this, your max stat will be 13 (or 11, depending which dish you ate). Lure you should use is Trap Bobber Copper + Sapx10 which is super cheap.

Tip: Do this when hunting for legendary fish as well.

Gr8 but this doesnt answer a 2 year old question. Your comment is irrelevant and most have commented where to find dorado.

Don't necro these topics.
