You don't get a fishing rod. There is a fishing center(on the left side of Lake Hylia). When to go there, you can use the fishing rod in there, but you can't leave with it.

So,what a Hylian Loach ?

"The legendary Hylian Loach is a long fish you can find in the fishing pond.  It usually hangs out near the lily pads or the center of the pool, and likes to lay low.  It's extremely difficult to catch, but if you can get it with the regular lure near the pads, consider yourself extremely lucky.  You can also try catching it with the sinking lure, but if you do the fisherman won't give any award since you cheated."

Basically, people usually describe it as an eel-like thing that only comes out at certain times (I've heard that you have to go into the pond RIGHT at dawn or dusk, I forget which).

Movie and pic of the loach:

Hope that helps!

I don't remember where to get the sinking lure, where do you acquire it?

Teehee! But I have found it to be in other places as well, such as the perimeter of the pond, etc.

Best advice is to equip a Blue Tunic, Iron Boots, and run around aimlessly for a while in the middle. That's where I usually find it, then search toward the outside.

I think I caught the loach once; it was too long ago for me to remember. What I do know is that I absolutely used the sinking lure.  ;D

I was always terrible at the fishing game. I got the sinking lure twice, adn squandered it both times of fish that weren't the Loach.

I used the singing lure once. The guy yelled at me about how it's "against the rules" to use sinking lures, but I didn't care.Also, once I casted at the guy (as an adult) and stole his hat. The fishies really enjoyed it!!!  ;D  ;D

By the way, what's a loach?

For the sinking lure, my friends and I always just ran around the perimeter (the grassy edge) of the fishing grounds, and usually found it.

We would fish all the time... probably one of our favorite mini-games. I also remember fondly our entertaining (as in the verb) different fish rumors like the Eyeball fish (keep fishing until you catch the Eyeball Fish, then when you turn it in, the man says "wow this is amazing, let me take it to town and I'll bring you something special in return." While he's gone, your weapons would be allowed, so you can bomb the crack where the water enters the pond, allowing access to a HUGE pond with equally large fish [you can see this pond using a glitch where you look around the edge of Hyrule field, like behind the "walls"]. Eventually, the guy comes back with... *fanfare* the Golden Saddle!).

Good old days.

What's a loach, you ask?

Wow, that's awesome!  I'm going to try that... Umm... I'd asume that the eyeball fish has big eyeballs, right?  :D
Title: Re:How to got fishing rod
Post by: weienw on July 20, 2005, 09:13:30 PM
We could never figure out what the eyeball fish should look like either. Either it'd have huge eyes, or it'd just be like every other fish and you had to fish the whole pond dry to get it.

As you can guess... we were unsuccessful ^_^.

Well... I'm just going  to assume it has big eyes because of his name.

no pun intended lokes. lol! Ive seen the loach before, but i didnt know what the hell it was so i got all excited, and i wished i had bothered to find the sinking lure.(i didnt feel like looking for it) and i hooked it several times, and i had it real close when it broke free. I tried several times before we lost our power do to a thunder storm. yeah, just my f**kin luck. lol

 About the sinking lure, in the regular versions its on top of the big log in the middle of the lake. On the gold cartreges i think its by the crack in the wall.

yeah, that's right. He's the guy I was talking about, My ZeldaMaster, he teached me everything. But I was ahead of him on Majoras Mask for at least a day and a half!  ;D

i used to no how to get the different lure but when you catch the hylian loach with it the man says you cheated. or something like that
Title: Re:How to got fishing rod
Post by: IronKnuckle on February 01, 2007, 01:22:56 PM
 By the way, If you talk to the fisherman and say "talk about something" after you get the sinking lure, he won't count it as cheating.

This is the Hyrule Loach, as well as the dialogue that follows it you catch it. This is from youtube, and no way it's my video. Enjoy!
