Tiger Trouts are one of the rarest specimens you’ll find in Pelican Town. If you’re wondering how to catch it and what you can use it for, here’s what you need to know.

In Stardew Valley, you’ll have to explore Pelican Town to get all the items you need for your farm. Every experienced player knows that there are some quite easy to get, but there are others that are going to give you a run for your money.

Tiger Trouts are one of the hardest species to fish since they can be found only in a few places during very specific conditions. If you’re looking to complete your River Fish Bundle in the Community Center or you just want to have this rare species in your Fish Pond, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s everything you need to do to catch a Tiger Trout in Stardew Valley.
