How to Catch Freshwater Shrimp

1. Reach fishing level 1. Below that, Freshwater Shrimp will not appear no matter how long you cast.
2. Travel to All Rivers and watch for a tiny shadow — Tiny (shrimp, small fish).
3. Fish during any time of day. Any hour works, so this is a flexible filler catch.
4. Weather does not gate this catch — it bites in any condition.
5. Expect 1/10 difficulty — Easy - Wide timing window.

You need fishing level 1 before Freshwater Shrimp starts appearing, so this is an early-game catch you can farm while unlocking later zones. The shadow reads as tiny on the water, which is the fastest way to tell it apart from the other fish sharing the same spot.

It is the #4 highest-value fish recorded at this spot (4 species total), so treat it as filler between rarer targets.
