When you’re fishing, there’s a mini-game you need to partake in before you can catch a fish. A small window will appear with a fish icon and a bar; you will have to tap a button to move the bar up and down while keeping the fish inside the bar.

A meter to the side will start to fill when it’s inside but will decrease when the bar and the icon don’t overlap. Then fill the meter to catch the fish, but if it decreases completely, the fish will escape.

Stardew Valley Walleye: Stardew valley fishing Guide

Stardew Valley Walleye is a fish that can be caught when raining during the fall and can be found in places like rivers, lakes, and forest ponds.

Although it claims winter and fall, further research suggests they can only be caught during the fall.

When placed in a fish pond, Walleye can reproduce every 3 days. The initial pond capacity is 3 fish, but the capacity can be increased to 10 by completing three quests.

How to Farm Walleye

The best thing to do with this specific fish is to sell it. It’s fairly easy to set up a Walleye farm and sell them for extra Gold.

Like most fishes, the Stardew Valley Walleye can be used to create a few different dishes but the more important use for this is in two different bundles for the Community Center.

Initially, players can hold three fish in their pond, but if they complete all of the fishing quests, the pond capacity can reach ten.

To increase the capacity of Walleye in a pond, retrieve the following items and toss them into the pond.

Capacity 5: Acorns x3, Bug Meat x10, Maple Seeds x3, Pine Cones x3
Capacity 7: Gold Ore x3, Maple Syrup x1, Mixed Seeds x5
Capacity 10: Crayfish x1, Honey x1, Jade x2, Periwinkle x1

It will take three days for Walleyes to reproduce in a pond, so players will need to wait a few weeks to reach full capacity.

The offspring can be sold for a base of 105g, which can be increased to 131g or 157g, if the player is a Fisher or Angler, respectively.
