How to catch Sockeye Salmon

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

Sockeye salmon are born in freshwater and migrate to the ocean as they mature. Their bodies will also turn a silvery gray, better suited for life in open waters.

During spawning season, they migrate back to the rivers to spawn, and their body color will change again to a bright red.

When the "red tide" emerges in the rivers, you'll know that the sockeye have come home again.
