What’s the best way to find all the legendary fish locations?

Finding all the legendary fish in Red Dead Redemption 2 is a rewarding challenge that requires preparation, patience, and knowledge of the game''s mechanics. To begin, you must first unlock the Legendary Fish questline. This is done by visiting Jeremy Gill, a fisherman who resides in a cabin on the northeastern shore of Flat Iron Lake. He will provide you with a map and explain the basics of catching legendary fish. Once you have the map, you can start your journey to locate and catch all 13 legendary fish scattered across the game world.\n\nEach legendary fish is tied to a specific location, and they can only be caught once. To increase your chances of success, you will need the Special Lake Lure, Special River Lure, or Special Swamp Lure, depending on the type of water body where the fish resides. These lures can be purchased from the bait shop in Lagras, located in the Bayou Nwa region. Without these lures, you cannot catch legendary fish, so make sure to stock up before heading out.\n\nWhen approaching a legendary fish location, pay attention to the environment. Legendary fish are marked by a question mark on your map, but only when you are close enough. Once you arrive at the spot, equip the appropriate lure and cast your line into the water. Legendary fish are more aggressive than regular fish, so you will need to reel them in carefully. Use the left stick to pull in the opposite direction of the fish''s movement and reel in when the fish is not struggling. This will tire it out faster.\n\nOne common challenge players face is the fish breaking the line. To avoid this, ensure your fishing rod is in good condition and that you are using the correct lure. Additionally, legendary fish are more likely to appear during specific weather conditions or times of day. For example, the Legendary Smallmouth Bass in O''Creagh''s Run is easier to catch during clear weather. If the fish isn''t biting, try leaving the area and returning later or setting up camp nearby to pass time.\n\nSome legendary fish are located in remote or dangerous areas. For instance, the Legendary Bullhead Catfish is found in the Elysian Pool, which is infested with hostile NPCs. In such cases, clear the area of threats before attempting to fish. Similarly, the Legendary Perch in Lake Isabella is located in a snowy, mountainous region, so dress warmly and bring supplies to avoid freezing.\n\nOnce you catch a legendary fish, you cannot carry it in your inventory like regular fish. Instead, you must mail it to Jeremy Gill using a post office. After mailing all 13 fish, you will receive a unique reward and complete the questline. Keep in mind that some legendary fish are only available in the epilogue, so don''t worry if you can''t find them during the main story.\n\nPractical tips for success include saving your game before attempting to catch a legendary fish. This allows you to reload if something goes wrong, such as the fish escaping or an unexpected ambush. Additionally, use Eagle Eye to spot fish in the water, as it highlights their location. Finally, be patient and persistent. Legendary fish are designed to be challenging, but with the right approach, you can master this quest and enjoy the rewards it offers.
