Hello, I am Andrew. I am not a very big fan of fishing games but once I saw in Nintendo Power that Natsume, the people who made the great Harvest Moon, were making a fishing/RPG I couldn't wait. I got the game for Christmas and loved it. Sure it's hard but all the great video games are supposed to keep you busy! And now! I have a partner! kaith Mohrmann my fake cousin! For info on him go to the "Meet Keith" section at the bottom of this FAQ/Walkthrough!
One day, [insert name here], woke up and found that his sister had fallen ill. His mother explains that there is only one cure in all the world. A huge fish called the Guardian. His mother explained that he must venture out and catch this fish. [insert name here] goes out equipped with a small hook, some worms, and a small rod. He must start out small, get better, and find the Guardian and catch it!
While I don't mind questions, what you should do first is READ THE FAQ to see if the answer is in there. If it absolutely, 100% isn't in there, or if you can't understand what I'm saying, then you can email me about the question you want answered. If you ask me a question when the answer is in the FAQ, I probably won't reply back. Thank you for your cooperation.
In this section I will give you the best tips and tricks of catching Pokemon on film!
-Get EVERY single rod in the game!
-Get EVERY single lure and fly in the game!
-Use all the best rods and bait, lure, fly.
-Get all the tools and remember to upgrade!
-Catch every fish in each level!
-Remember to always have food.
-Fight a lot to gain HP.
-Remember to buy the net RIGHT AWAY!
-Talk to everyone you see for information on fish, new areas, or how to help that person.
-Only catch ONE Crucian (Unless you wnat to break its record)!!!
-Be patient.
-The best rods are: Bait - Casting Rod (Large) Lure - Lure Rod (Large). Small will do. Fly - Fly Rod (Large). The best baits are:Bait - Worm, Larva, Red Larva, Grub Lure - Spinner, Spinner Bait Fly - Caddisfly (wet), Stonefly (wet)
-For Torrent use Casting Rod large and all the best baits for that. For Lake 1 and up use Fly Rod Large and Stonefly wet. Caddisfly wet s good too but stonefly wet is the best.
In this section I will answer any frequently asked questions.

Fighting: Fighting is easy. If you cannot pull this off you must be a retard. No offense, please take none. Anyway...if you REALLY need help...

Fun Lake: Fun Lake is just for fun. It has a VERY small town. Actually it isn't a town. Just an inn. The Fun Lake has EVERY fish in the game! All 40! Have fun! But any fish you catch, if you get a big one it won't be set as a record but you can sell the fish! Fish here: Every fish!!!
Here is the walkthrough made by Keith and only Keith!
Torrent: First off you need to get some doe. So head over to the stream and start fishing. Now your best bet is catch some Giant trout. Catch abou 5, go to the fish store and sell your fish for about 50g each giving you 250G. Now go buy some supplies at the general store. Now head across the bridge and go east as far as possible and catch a Rainbow trout, head back across the bridge and go west and talk to the guy twice, he'll build a raft. Now this may get annoying but head back across the bridge, and go in the house now talk to the girl. She will ask for a Cutterhroat Trout go west as far as possible and catch one, and head back too her get the lunch give him the lunch and hop in the raft and go to Lake 1. WARNING!!! Each time you row you lose HP row only when NEEDED!!!! And try to catch all fish here before moving on!
Lake 1 You start as you helplessly watch your raft crash into a rock. It so happens that the man next too you is a pupil of the man that made your raft convenient. Anyway start moving south and talk too the lady near the bridge she will tell you about the bear blocking the way to the other side of the river you MUST stop it to continue the game.You must also catch a T.Stickleback to catch one look at Andrew's where too catch it section also catch some smelt and get on your raft and head South until you reach a building with a dude outside give the dude the Stickleback and go inside and give his wife the smelt for a lot of G now take the pick catch 1 more smelt and give it to the mapper after you talk to the kid next to him and he'll tell you where to go now you are in the stream.
Secret Cave This level is a pain.Now as soon as you enter head over to the lake get on the raft and save the drowning man at the north to get a Fly Rod small with this rod it will be easier to catch Ayu wich you can sell to a guy for 60G each.After you get enough money 200G to be exact you can buy the large pail wich lets you hold 16 fish.Get some more money and buy some lunches.Now the hard part you have, too catch a P.Chub that is 19cm or longer, also catch an Ayu and talk to the wizard up on the northeast side of the stream and he will tell you to get an axe at Lake 2.Head down south past the empty house and you should see a young lady fishing give her your Pale Chub and she will open a path to Lake 2 be sure too catch some fish before you leave.The Guardian is also here but you cant get it now.
Lake 2 You enter through the dam and are taken to town by the current but, don't forget to talk to the fruit fishing on the bridge he will ask you to catch 5 killifish do this at the bridge and you will get a large casting rod.Continue onward too the village and restock on supplies be careful when fishing many fish steal your flies now catch a s.gdgdon and w.gdgdon and go all the way west and north and tak too the axe guy twice he'll give you the axe. Now look at the section on how to get the windchime.
Windchime To get the windchime you must talk to the lady next to the one who wants loaches now go too the stream and catch 3 Ayu of 26cm or more and give it too the guy in a raincoat and he will go home go back to the house talk to her again catch a Carp or G.carp and talk to the kid at the top of the lake 2 town give him what he wants and go back to the house and give the lady the charcoal she will give you the windchime now go to the stream and cut down the tree almost at the north with a rock near it it is the only one you can cut down anyway go on the pond play the windchime and catch the guardian now watch the credits play again and save. Now you can fish at torrent and so forth for fun and when you catch em all (40 kinds) sleep at an in and go too the lake and there is 1 of every kind of fish it is known as Fun Lake.
To find out how to get the Guardian read the Secrets section.
Do catch every fish before catching the Guardian. Do buy EVERYTHING! Do Stay at an inn if you really need to! Do fight a lot and gain more HP. Do use the raft when you need to. Do help everyone that needs help.
Don't use the raft too much, you'll faint. Don't catch the Guardian before catching every fish. Don't try to run away from battles, you usually end up dying anyway. Don't be afraid of animals! Don't catch more than one Crucian (Unless you want to break it's record)!!!!
GUARDIAN FISH Ave Size:90-110 Bait: Bait Dough Ball, large hook (Use Large Casting Rod)
FUN LAKE:
Fun Lake is a secret Lake with just an Inn and EVERY fish in the game! To get here catch ALL 40 fish in the game and then sleep in nay Inn. If that doesn't work sleep in the Inn at Torrent. You should end up in Fun Lake! To get out of Fun Lake sleep at the Inn. If you break records, the records will not be put in your journal, but you can keep the fish you caught and sell them!
Keith is my fake cousin. Long story won't tell. When my cousin (real) didn't want his Legend of the River KIng I traded it to Keith for Zelda DX (I still had my Legend of the River KIng). Keith became a big fan and is now helping me make this FAQ.
