Red Dead Redemption 2 features 14 different legendary fish for players to catch, so here are the locations of each legendary and the lures needed to catch them.
Red Dead Redemption 2 features special types of creatures called legendary animals. Legendary animals can be captured, sold, and traded to certain NPCs, or the parts harvested from them can be turned into special items. However, actually tracking down these legendary animals can be a bit difficult.
The locations of legendary land animals have already been detailed, showing players where to find the legendary alligator, legendary beaver, legendary cougar, and more. But the game also features 14 different legendary fish which are just as tricky to locate – unless you know where to look.
To begin capturing the legendary fish, players will need to unlock fishing gameplay by completing the appropriate story mission quest. Once fishing has been unlocked, players can head to the northeastern bank of Flat Iron Lake to meet with an NPC called Jeremy Gill who gives players the quest “A Fisher of Fish.”
Gill will give players a map for finding legendary fish and players must send Gill the legendaries via the post office in order to confirm them. Players will also have to visit the Bait Shop (Lemoyne region, north of Saint Denis) to pick up three lures: the special swamp lure, the special river lure, and the special lake lure, which cost $20 each. There is only one bait shop in Red Dead Redemption 2.
It’s important to note that legendary fish are much harder to catch than their standard counterparts. The catching process takes a lot longer, so keep this in mind before beginning the process.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available for PS4 and Xbox One.
