How to catch Grass Carp

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Common freshwater fish and gray saltwater fish can usually be caught straight away after the bite.

Where and when to find it

Grass carp are named for their herbivorous habits, but this diet isn't persistent throughout its life cycle.

During their juvenile stage, grass carp primarily feed on invertebrates.

It's only when they grow to about the size of a bottle cap that they fully transition to a plant-based diet.

So, don't be surprised if you see a grass carp eating meat — It might just be reminiscing about its babyhood.
