Before you can get a copper fishing rod are you sure you have followed this checklist?
1. I Own enough copper to give to the black smith for the Copper fishing rod?
2. I have enough experience with my fishing rod that it can be upgraded to copper?
3. Do I have enough gold to get my fishing rod upgraded?
4. Do I own a fishing rod?
If those 4 are ALL complete you should be able to get your fishing rod upgraded.
Sometime in the game, you meet Toby at the beach. Tell him you like fishing and he will give you the rod.
in summer go to the beach at the morning and you will sea a old man near to the boat talk to him and he will give you the fishing rod
Befriend Taro. One day when you leave your house if it is Sunny Taro will give you a free fishing rod.
you have to get the fishing rod from Glen. Wait with him outside his house on a sunny Saturday morning around 11, and when he goes inside, you go inside, and he will give you the fishing rod
You have to give a certain character fish that you have caught. The fishes that you give to the character will be used for fish prints. Do enough fishing,giving and fish printing,the character will tell you to check out the fishing spot.
first of all you must know Zack the shipment guy ... Just be friendly to him and visit him at the beach then one day a video will play when you go visit him and he'll give you the fishing rod ... that's how i got it!
Somewhere in the game, when you just woke up go to old peoples house, i think her name is Nina or something? There is a bench by her house. When u go in her home, their will be a cutscene. Her husband will give u a fishing rod for free
You have to visit Gale (the old man on the house on the right lower site of the map) on a Saturday between 11 and 1PM. Be sure you're not equipped with any tool, or he won't give you the fishing rod.
He is the town Fisherman. He lives in the shack with Zack and only appears at the end of the pier from 7-10 from Thursday to Saturday. Go talk to him with an empty spot in the 'Tools' section of your rucksack and he will give you a fishing rod. Bring your fish pond to 50 or more Fish and he will give you a fishing pole.
You fist have to get a Fishing Rod from Zack. Enter his house and he might give you a free Fishing Rod. Once you have a Fishing Rod face toward a body of water and toss your line. When you see an exclamation point appear above the character's head quickly pull the line in.
If its Harvest Moon DS your talking about then Galen will give it to you but you have to enter his house when only he is their I think,but if it doesn't work whenonly he is their then try it when Nina is their aswell. I'm not to sure when you have to go to his house but I think its around 10:00am. Hope this helps. :) Sorry if it doesn't.
yes i know some people have told me when you get up and go out and quickly back in and then to the record box but that didnt work
