This is a short guide listing locations and equipment/bait combos for catching each species from the Amazon River DLC.
This guide is a work in progress – I have currently caught eight of the new fish introduced. Each section will cover one fish, the range of sizes of hooks I used, baits, locations, and any extra notes, in that order. This is a quick reference guide in case you need help finding anything. It doesn’t list all locations for finding fish or useful equipment combos. Thank you and enjoy!
