How do I catch the Legend fish in Stardew Valley?

The Legend can only be caught in the Mountain Lake during rainy Spring days with Fishing Level 10. Use a Cork Bobber for the largest fishing bar and eat Dish o' The Sea for +3 Fishing. Cast as far as possible and be prepared for the hardest fish in the game (difficulty 110).

What is the most profitable fish in Stardew Valley?

The Legend sells for 5,000g base price, making it the most valuable single catch. For sustainable income, Sturgeon in Fish Ponds produce Roe that becomes Caviar (500g). Lava Eel also has high base value (700g) and profitable roe.

What tackle should I use for hard fish?

For difficult fish like legendaries, use a Cork Bobber to maximize your fishing bar size. Trap Bobber is excellent for fish that move erratically (dart behavior). For sinker fish, Lead Bobber prevents bar bouncing.
