How to Get Sole in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Sole is one of the more elusive fish in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but with the right knowledge and preparation, you can successfully catch it. This guide will walk you through the exact locations where Sole spawns, the conditions needed to catch it, and pro tips to improve your overall fishing success rate.

Understanding Sole and Its Location

Sole is a large orange fish that can only be fished in the Forgotten Lands. More specifically, it spawns in two particular pools within this biome. This limitation means you’ll need to visit these specific locations if you want to catch this fish.

Finding the Right Fishing Ripples

Not all fishing ripples in the Forgotten Lands will yield Sole. When you approach a fishing spot, you’ll notice ripples on the water’s surface. These ripples come in different colors, and the color matters significantly for what you can catch.

Ripple Types and What They Mean

You may see orange ripples and blue ripples while fishing in the Forgotten Lands. Unfortunately, Sole cannot be caught in either of these ripple types. To successfully catch Sole, you must wait for a white ripple to appear. If you only see orange or blue ripples, you have two options: continue fishing in the same spot and hope a white ripple spawns, or move to a different pool.

Ripple Respawn Times

When you fish in a ripple, it disappears temporarily. Fortunately, ripples respawn fairly quickly—typically within just a few minutes. This means you can keep fishing in the same location and have a chance to encounter a white ripple on your next attempt.

Additional Locations with the Rift in Time Expansion

If you own the Rift in Time expansion, you can also catch Sole in two additional locations: the Docks and the Overlook. This expansion provides more flexibility for fishing Sole without being limited solely to the Forgotten Lands.

Top Tips to Improve Your Fishing Success

Bring a Fishing Companion

Always take a villager with you who is assigned to the fishing role. If you don’t currently have a fishing villager, you can create one by crafting a Fishing Training Manual and giving it to any villager at level 10. This will change their role to fishing and provide you with a helpful companion.

Use Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait

One of the most effective tools for improving your catches is Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait. When applied to your fishing rod, this bait significantly increases your chances of landing bigger catches. Each application provides 25 uses on your fishing rod. You can craft this bait at your crafting bench by navigating to the Potion and Enchantment section—it unlocks around mid-game progression.

Alternative: Miraculous Fishing Bait

If you haven’t unlocked Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait yet, a less powerful version called Miraculous Fishing Bait is available earlier in the game. While not as effective, it still provides a boost to your catches and requires fewer ingredients to craft.

Complete Moana’s Quests

If you haven’t already, strongly consider completing all quests with Moana. Upon completion, you’ll unlock Moana’s fishing ship—a passive fishing tool that collects up to 20 fish per day. Once fully upgraded, you can return to the ship daily and collect 20 additional fish automatically without actively fishing. This is an excellent way to passively accumulate fish over time.

Summary

Catching Sole in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires patience and the right strategy. Focus on fishing white ripples in the Forgotten Lands, bring a fishing villager companion, and leverage tools like Even More Miraculous Fishing Bait and Moana’s fishing ship to maximize your success. With these tips in place, you’ll be adding Sole to your collection in no time.
