Fishing Tourney 1

For a detailed guide for this event, see Fishing Tourney: How to Play .

Fishing Tourney #1 is an event featuring Chip which utilizes the Saltwater Shores location. The event introduces rare types of fish, as well as underwater-themed rewards.

The tourney began on March 15th and the player could collect fish to complete the challenges and goals until March 20th 5:59am (UTC). The trophy earned for the tourney was available in the player's mailbox from March 20th to March 23rd 5:59am (UTC).

Fish could be obtained various ways:

• By fishing with the regular fishing rod near sparkling water, for a total of 7 spawns per 3-hour rotation. There is a 20% chance for a single spawn to result in capturing two fish at the same time.
• By renting the Golden Rod and using it to fish near sparkling water, for a total of 7 spawns per 3-hour rotation. Each spawn will result in capturing two fish at the same time.
• By using the Tourney Throw Net (Sea) to capture 4 random tourney fish.
• By buying a Lg. Tourney Throw Net (Sea) and using it to capture 10 random tourney fish.
• By fulfilling requests for villagers at the campsite and receiving fish as a reward.

Fish could be turned in to Chip at any point during the tourney, although once the player had at least 20 fish in their inventory Chip would automatically collect them all.

Unlike prior events, the Fishing Tourney #1 included varying end dates within the event. The Golden Rod stopped being available to rent 24 hours before the Tourney ended. The Chip Challenges stopped being able to be reached 1 hour before the Tourney ended.

The player only received one trophy at the end of the event, for the highest level earned. For example, if the player reached the Total-Size Goal of 4,250cm, they will receive only the Gold Fish Trophy and will not receive the lower trophies.
