How to catch a Tiger Trout in Stardew Valley
The Tiger Trout moves like the Dart kind, which is one of the most unpredictable movement types you can encounter in the fishing minigame. Their random style makes it difficult to keep the caught fish within the green area, so be prepared to lose a few minigames before catching one.
We recommend picking the best fishing rod you have for a Tiger Trout in Stardew Valley. Go for the Iridium Rod or the Fiberglass Rod. Make sure you visit the fishing spots during the conditions mentioned above.
If you don’t wish to catch the fish through a minigame, you can visit Krobus’s shop on Wednesdays or the Traveling Cart for a chance to buy one.
Tiger Trouts are the only fish species that don’t bear offspring in Stardew Valley. You can, however, get them to produce Tiger Trout Roe, which can be aged to get Artisan quality Roe.
