The Silver Salmon can be found in the Kilima Village Rivers in the evening and night. You won’t have to travel far from your home to catch it; just head to where the stores are located and fish next to the Reflection Fields. Another option is to fish close to the Leafhopper Hills.

You’ll have from 6pm to 3am to fish, which gives you nine hours in-game and more than 20 minutes of real-life time to get it. I caught one as the clock was about to hit 3am, so even if you are late to fish, time won’t be a problem.

You don’t need to use any bait or higher quality fishing rods to catch a Silver Salmon, as it’s of common rarity, and using bait will only attract rarer fishes. If you have a bait equipped, right-click and change to “No Bait.”

Left-click to launch the hook and wait until a fish bites. It will make from two to three small bites before you can start reeling in. It will slowly go from left to right while you reel the line, so it should be an easy catch.

Since the Silver Salmon a common fish, there shouldn’t be any issue getting it at any point. You might catch a few Spotted Bullheads before getting your hands on a Silver Salmon, however.
