Stardew Valley Rare Fish Routing
Fish Finder / Hard windows, legendary fish, Goby, mine fish, and Lava Eel
Targeted Bait is strongest when a fish has a narrow window, low chance, or high value. It helps legendary and Extended Family attempts, Goby routing, and some mine fish through special rules.
Facts and route notes
Category: Fish Finder
Focus: Hard windows, legendary fish, Goby, mine fish, and Lava Eel
Checklist: Use targeted bait for expensive or time-limited catches rather than common fish. Save one copy of a rare fish if turning it into bait will make future catches easier. Use the fish finder first so bait is not wasted in the wrong window.
