My Bridger Western Fishing guide is the best companion when dipping your toes in the water. With a fishing rod, you can catch fish to sell and cook in Bridger Western.
Bridger Western Fishing
It’s always a great game when there’s a fishing mechanic. Let’s see how it works in Bridger Western.
How to Fish
It may seem obvious, but to fish, you need a fishing rod. You need bait first and foremost before casting your line. Once a fish bites, a quick time event (QTE) appears, with a duration determined by how rare the fish is. Bait increases the speed of your pull time by 2x and uses 1x bait for each catch.
Where to Get a Fishing Rod
The Tackle Bait fishing shop sells a fishing rod for 150 coins, as well as bait for 15 coins.
Fish Rarities
When fishing, there are a variety of fish to catch of different rarities, ranging from Common to Legendary.
Common Rarity
81.7% chance to catch
Rare Rarity
16.25% chance to catch
Epic Rarity
2% chance to catch
Legendary Rarity
0.5% chance to catch
What Can You Catch?
As well as fish, you can also fish up other items, including:
Chests
Arrow Shards
0.5% chance
Unlocks a random Stand
This item cannot be used if you already have a Stand. You won’t get a Stand that has a super-specific obtainment method, and if you are defeated with the Arrow Shards in your inventory, you lose the item upon respawning. The same goes if you exit the game, too
Mares Leg (weapon)
The version you fish up is rusted, and you need to take it to Flint the Blacksmith. He repairs it in exchange for 1.5K coins
Like the Arrow Shards, if you are defeated with the Rusted Mares Leg in your inventory, you lose the weapon
The fish you can catch are:
Cod
Common rarity
Sells for 35 coins
Bass
Common rarity
Sells for 45 coins
Snapper
Common rarity
Sells for 25 coins
Golden Bass
Legendary rarity
Sells for 15K coins
There is currently a bug where this fish sells for 1K to 1.5K coins. This will be fixed in a future patch, increasing the selling price to 15K coins
Cooking
You can use your caught fish to cook dishes. When eating these dishes, you unlock a buff, which depends on the type of fish and its rarity.
To cook any fish, you need to find a campfire. Make sure to keep an eye on it whilst it’s cooking, as if it’s on the fire for too long, the food becomes burnt.
Take note that the Golden Bass fish cannot be cooked.
Cooked Fish Buffs
Once you eat a cooked fish, you automatically gain a buff for a short duration. If you’re not bothered about the buffs, you can sell the fish for coins. However, the cooked variants don’t sell for more, so if you plan to sell them, don’t waste your time at a campfire.
