Best Way To Catch Golden Trout

Can Only Be Caught On Cliffs

Clifftop

The Golden Trout is a fish which only inhabits bodies of water found on top of cliffs. As long as the water is on an elevated place reachable with stairs or a ladder, a pond or river are both okay!

Increase The Number Of Cliffs On Your Island

By using the Island Designer tool, you'll be able to make more cliffs on your island, meaning it's possible to increase your chance of catching this fish even without using bait. You'll need to get a rank 3 island rating to unlock this feature, however!

> Island Designer Tool Details

Make Bodies Of Water On The Cliffs

Try expanding the amount of water you have on top of cliffs to improve your chances of seeing a Golden Trout. If you don't care too much about appearances, just build a whole bunch of lakes and rivers on top of cliffs to get the best results.

Use Bait

Bait

If you want to catch Golden Trout in an efficient manner, you're definitely going to want to use bait. Go fishing after you've made enough bait - the manila clams needed to make the bait can be obtained easier on rainy days, so give that a try!

Also Spawn On Mystery Islands

Waterfall Island

By using Nook Miles to go on a Mystery Island Tour, you have the chance of ending up on an island with 4 waterfalls. This is an ideal spot for those who don't have the Island Designer Tool unlocked and lack fish bait. If you've got miles to spare, try this method out.

I think I'm very lucky got it on my first try no bait needed.

I must just be very unlucky. I have tried for a year. Literally the only fish I can’t catch. Innumerable fishing rods and shovels, I’m at 52M bells from selling fish just trying to catch this thing.
