As the title says, I need help catching a Stringfish.
I really want it, it is my last fish to catch until I get the legendary golden fishing rod. I don't want the code or anything, so DO NOT post the code to get the golden fishing rod.

quote GameFAQs

Stringfish can be caught at the River from December-February. You can catch them from 4 P.M.-9 A.M. They are very large and are worth 15,000 bells

I know that, but I never see a shadow. I only catch pond smelt, bitterling and barbel steed.

If you go by the river, just run around by it, and scare away the smaller shadows until you see a big shadow, which might be what you're looking for.
