How to Catch Porcupinefish

1. Reach fishing level 2. Below that, Porcupinefish will not appear no matter how long you cast.
2. Travel to Forest Lake and watch for a unknown shadow — Unknown.
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 None/10 difficulty — .

You need fishing level 2 before Porcupinefish starts appearing, so this is an early-game catch you can farm while unlocking later zones. The shadow reads as unknown on the water, which is the fastest way to tell it apart from the other fish sharing the same spot.

It is the #10 highest-value fish recorded at this spot (12 species total), so treat it as filler between rarer targets.
