The Long Dark – Special Fishing Lure Tips

Special Fishing Lure

Rainbow Trout are saltwater fish, so you need to fish for them along the coast. The fishing huts in Coastal Highway are your best bet. You’ll catch some Coho Salmon too (they are also saltwater fish).

But lures- they do not help you catch more fish. They only help you catch the newer rare (special) fish, and I don’t know that the lures are linked to the types of special fish you might catch- location (saltwater vs, freshwater) seems to be the only thing that determines the type of special rare fish you *might* catch.

Bait will help you catch bigger fish, so using bait may be a better option for you if you really want to catch bigger fish.

For Vitamin C, the Lake Whitefish gives slightly more Vitamin C than Rainbow Trout do, but you won’t catch them along the coast- lakes and ponds like Mystery Lake are where you catch them (freshwater fish), and you will catch Smallmouth Bass as well.

Any fish when cooked will give you some lamp oil from cooking them.

The only special effect the fishing lures have is increasing the chances of catching one of the rare fish. They make it 5 or 10 times more likely to catch one of the rare fish, but also make it take longer to catch anything, and they do not guarantee that you will catch a rare fish. I only use lures if i want to catch Rockfish (saltwater fish) to be able to make Dockworker’s Pie.
