If you go to Sun-Dappled Spot in Trieste Forest, you'll find it there. Cast your line in the bottom-left corner of the map - you'll hear a splash if you get the right spot. If it's for Herman's request, you can go ahead and catch it, but actually cooking it (since he wants a Fried L. Snapper) will take 60-something cooking skill. It's suggested you go for lunch everyday (Douglas gives you lunch from 12:00 - 1:59 PM at the workshop every weekday) because there's a chance you'll receive the Fried L. Snapper, though it's a low chance. Or, raise your cooking skill to like 70... but that may take awhile ._.

EDIT: He gives it to you but remember it's quite, quite rare.

Douglas gives ya that?!
OMG.
shank ju!

haha, "shank ju" XD that almost sounds violent.

Anywho, there's a lot of information on fishing and hints (look in the extras section) already in the guide. So you might want to check it out on page 1

I'm not in 2nd gen yet, I plan on seeing all the rival-weddings, get all 1st gen skills to 99 and fill out the shipping list as much as possible before I go on to 2nd gen.
I caught those Glitter Snapper in 1st gen in fall and I have caught like 20 of them so far, and lots of other fishes too from the pond. Even though I have only fished there for 2-3 weeks and only in the evenings when I had spare time. The Glitter Snapper isn't really that rare.

One thing that affects if you will catch much fish in there is the season, I first fished there in summer for a few weeks, but didn't catch anything, probably because in summer you can only catch Lobster there, which is a rare catch. In fall though I have caught catch Sardine, Mackerel, Snapper, Glitter Snapper, Salmon and Skipjack, so there is a much higher chance of catching fish in the pond in fall than in summer. I haven't fished there in winter and spring yet, but when I do I'll report it to you if you want.

i tend to be behind the times on things like this... but after finding out about this shortcut....wow... just wow

also...if you click on your tool (hoe, sickle, etc) down in the righthand corner, it'll change to a blue highlight. after that you can also hold down the L button and select spots on the field to use that tool it sorta works for the hammer (and i'll assume weapons too)...but it's not as effective.

anyways...love this guide, great job!

That'd be great. I left first Gen in Spring Year 2, so I got most or all of the "town" catches (which are seasonal). But I didn't spend time in the pond very much, so if you could collect that info for 1st Gen it would be awesome^^ Thanks for your help. I'll take away the * from the Glitter Snappper... it sounded so rare though =P

Just an interesting bit of information I discovered (you can put this in the Extras section if you want, Misti):
-The success formula for cooking, forging and pharmacy is...
100 - ((Recipe Level - Skill Level) * 9)

Of course if the skill level is equal to or higher than the recipe level, the success rate is 100%.

lul, i thought so too~ XD

I just noticed...
You said it's easiest to catch sardines at Blessia Island - Dock? Uhm...it's actually easiest one room-thing in. In the sea water to the right, all I caught was sardines. At the dock, I caught more shrimp than anything else...

EDIT: HOLY SHIIIIT. I just caught a Lover Snapper in Alvarna - Pond, FIRST GEN. NOTE THIS. NOTE IT RIGHT NOW. (Caught in Spring of Year 1.) Oh, also got a Lamp Squid, so it's confirmed.

Alright, that's from the Festival section right? Misti Rose will have to put it in for you.

O.O I am glad you are excited^^ I'll put it in right now... XD

xD;; I'm easily excited...

Um.... you can also find Sardines in Blessia Island - South Beach. The sardine I found was 18 cm, it was just what I needed for the Fishing Festival. So, if people are having trouble getting the right sized Sardine for the festival, then they should try out the area I just said.

Hope that helps. ^^

This is where I meant! :D

I'm pretty sure the sardine sizes and frequency are randomly generated, because i caught turbot and shrimp too in the "inner room" that Mizuru mentioned. So i guess it's all preference.. I just thought the dock would be the most convenient, since it's outside the actual dungeon and no monsters will be lagging up the screen.
*And charging up the rod is what affects size.

Also, Kupo, how did you manage to figure out that formula? O.o; ..XD very specific! Anyway, do you lose materials when you forge/cook and fail?

Hey!
I'm just letting you guys know that I now have a CRAPLOAD of free time to play RF2 (since my school classes are APs, the teachers give no homework, I've crammed all information into my skull and I don't have to worry about APs until April-May~).
So if you need any specific information, assign me to it! >:3

I wanna help contribute as much as possible, but I don't want to blurt out random info you might already have.

Just so this isn't a wasted post (sorta), there is a higher chance of getting garbage in Alvarna - Pond in 1st gen. About 4 garbage per fish.
