To unlock the Here and There fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you must:

  1. Unlock the Lion King Realm for 10,000 Dreamlight.
  2. Complete the Eyes in the Dark quest, where you’ll place Pride Rock in your Valley, and Nala will be able to move in.
  3. Befriend Nala and work through all her friendship quests until she’s level 10, where you get the quest, Here and There and Back Again.

During this quest, Nala asks you to find out if the weird fish that have entered the Valley are edible, which is how the Here and There fish unlocks, and you can now catch this fish.

Unlike the other fish in Disney Dremalight Valley, catching the Here and There fish can be tricky because it can be caught in any body of water in all the biomes. However, there’s a catch: it can only be caught at either sunrise or sunset. More specifically, you can catch the Here and There fish during the following hours:

  • Sunrise: 6am to 10am
  • Sunset: 6pm to 10pm

The Here and There fish cannot be caught outside of these times. So, to finish the Here and There and Back Again quest or craft up one of the Here and There fish recipes, like Ghostly Fish Steak, you must log in during these times.

Where to find the Here and There fish in Dreamlight Valley

You can catch this fish in open waters, meaning you don’t need to fish for it in the ripples. However, it can occasionally be caught in the white ripple fishing spots.

There are a few different ways you can increase your chances of reeling in the Here and There fish, such as:

  • Have the Well-Fed Bonus active on your character
    • Occurs after eating a full, cooked meal you prepared or earned from a quest. You will know the bonus is active if your Energy Bar has turned gold.
  • Use the Miracle Fishing Bait or the Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait on your rod when trying to catch the Here and There fish. Even if you don’t get the Here and There fish, you will still get a rare fish, which means you can make more Energy-dense meals. So, it’s not a waste to use bait.
    • To craft the Miracle Fishing Bait, you must go to a crafting bench with 500 Dreamlight, five Red Algae, and 10 Vitalys Crystals.
    • To craft the Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait, you must go to a crafting bench with 1,000 Dreamlight, 10 Red Algae, and 20 Vitalys Crystals.
  • Fish with a Fishing Buddy to maximize your yield, so instead of getting one Here and There fish, you’ll get two!

These methods can improve your odds of seeing the Here and There fish appear on your rod while reeling in your line. At the end of the day, it’s all up to chance whether or not you catch this elusive fish, but this is everything you need to know about how to unlock and catch the Here and There fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley.
