Unlike some of the other fishing locations, Ladle’s Jetty is not available at the start of the game. To unlock it, you’ll need to reach Friendship Level 3 with Nefi. Once your bond is strong enough, the gate leading to the dock will open, granting you access to this scenic spot that offers a diverse range of fish.

Gaining Nefi’s trust isn’t too difficult—invite her to a few planned meals and engage in friendly conversations, and you’ll unlock the jetty in no time. Due to its central location near the forge and village hub, this is a spot you’ll pass by often, so unlocking it early can be very convenient.

A peaceful dock tucked away near Old Noakes’ home.

This fishing spot becomes available only after you’ve built a strong relationship with Old Noakes.

Although it takes time and effort to unlock, it’s well worth it. Spend time talking to Old Noakes, complete requests, and invite him to planned meals to steadily increase your bond. This jetty is located in a quiet part of Bywater, and while it’s a bit more out of the way than others, it offers a satisfying reward for your dedication.
