How do I complete the Survivalist Challenge 10 efficiently?

Survivalist Challenge 10 in Red Dead Redemption 2 requires you to catch one of each type of fish in the game. This is one of the most time-consuming challenges, as there are 13 unique fish species to catch. To complete this efficiently, you need to understand the game mechanics, know the best fishing spots, and use the right bait.\n\nFirst, ensure you have the necessary equipment. You will need a fishing rod, which can be obtained during the mission ''A Fisher of Fish'' in Chapter 2. You also need different types of bait: worms, crickets, and special lures. Special lures, such as the Lake Lure, River Lure, and Swamp Lure, are essential for catching larger fish and can be purchased from bait shops or the Lagras general store.\n\nNext, familiarize yourself with the fish species and their locations. Fish are region-specific, so you need to travel across the map. For example, the Bluegill is commonly found in Flat Iron Lake, while the Sockeye Salmon is found in rivers like the Dakota River. Use the in-game compendium to track which fish you’ve already caught and which ones remain.\n\nTo maximize efficiency, plan your route. Start in the northern regions, such as Lake Isabella, where you can catch the Legendary Salmon and the Northern Pike. Then move south to areas like O’Creagh’s Run for the Rock Bass and the Dakota River for the Sockeye Salmon. Save the swamp areas, like Lagras, for last, as they are home to the Bullhead Catfish and the Longnose Gar.\n\nWhen fishing, use the correct bait for each fish. Smaller fish like Bluegill and Perch can be caught with worms or crickets, while larger fish like Muskie and Sturgeon require special lures. Cast your line into deep water and wait for a bite. Once a fish bites, reel it in by rotating the right stick and pulling back on the left stick. Be patient, as some fish, like the Legendary Fish, require more effort to catch.\n\nA common challenge is locating specific fish, such as the Perch or the Chain Pickerel. If you’re struggling, try changing your fishing spot or time of day. Some fish are more active during specific weather conditions or times. For example, the Catfish is easier to catch at night.\n\nFinally, keep track of your progress. Use the compendium to ensure you’ve caught all 13 species. If you’re missing a fish, revisit its known location and try again. Completing this challenge not only rewards you with a sense of accomplishment but also unlocks the Survivalist gear, which is useful for future gameplay.\n\nPractical tips: Always carry multiple types of bait and lures to avoid running out. Use Eagle Eye to spot fish in the water, and don’t forget to cook or sell your catches to free up inventory space. With patience and strategy, Survivalist Challenge 10 can be completed efficiently.
