For wasps, try standing in front of the tree while holding your net and shake it. Your character will turn to face the nest when it falls. Makes life a lot easier!

My favourite wasp avoiding tactic is just to leg it into the museum. Works if the run is fairly straight forward

Mrs Dodge keeps the party poppers in her hand when shaking trees and just blasts them

To catch them my favoured technique is the run a little (B button for speed) and then turn to catch them

yeah now that i know they can and will chase you anywhere outdoors, running inside might be an idea.

i stuck my neighbours and museum off the far side from my own house. saw some layouts that looked like proper villages and kinda wish i'd laid it out differently now!

You can move everything later apart from Resident Services. I think we all wish we'd laid out stuff differently at the start!

I quite like my layout now. I moved my house to the top of the island so I have my own plateau to garden.
Most of my resident houses are backed by a cliff and all separated by hedges.
I have little islands in my river at most crossing points so I can just hop over without using the pole (I got that tip from Damo).

I have lots of random trees that I'd like to reorganise though.

Yeah trees are a big one. Isabelle keeps telling me all my residents are worried about getting lost in the trees and missing their favourite tv shows

If you have terraforming then you can just build your own land bridge and cut out the jumping if you prefer. With the trees, if you just want to relocate them then you can eat fruit and dig them up untouched with the shovel - so no need to chop them down, dig up the stump, buy sapling, re-plant and wait days. Feck that.

Mr E

Ah I like the rivers in fairness. Better than lots of little lakes.

Yep I know about digging trees, thanks.

Does anyone have any tips for catching better fish? I can't count how many black bass, sea bass, loaches, daces, and seahorses I've found. All I do is drop the line and hope for the best. Is there more to it? I've tried bait, but I think it's only good for if you want to be lazy, as it's only really attracted the same fish for me.

I'm aware the fish are seasonal, but surely there are more fish than the ones I've caught?

i caught over 100 fish yesterday (nookmiles tracker) and got snapping turtles, red snapper, and an angelfish... i think i was googling the turtle and it's a night time "fish". this was from 10pm+
i did catch an awful lot of the ones you mentioned as well! guess it's night time plus numbers game... that's my guess anyway. total expert 1 day player

Don't some fish also require it to be raining to catch them? And others can only be caught a river mouth? Not sure.

I'm not that big into the fishing tbh, although I would like to get that cast master acheivement.

Mind you, it rarely rains on my game, and I never think of fishing during the night because I'm usually ready to fall asleep around that time, and don't usually do much in the game bar sit around :pac:

In other words I should probably make more of an effort on rainy days at night time.

The Coelecanth can only be caught in the rain, I managed to grab one the other day. They sell for 15k

Those turtles are a great money spinner, IF you're willing to stay up a bit later to farm them.

Redd on my island today and it looks like he has three genuine artefacts, only the wistful one is fake. I'm not sure if I'm in a statue or painting mood but will decide later!

Will open island to others later for those who want to snatch the rest, ladder required.

Nollog

That feeling when you forget to fully pay off your incline x.x a day wasted!

Redd is on my island selling the strutting man painting which I believe is always real, but I already have it.
The rest are fakes. Would someone like to have it?

Nooks Cranny is finally being upgraded tomorrow on my island. Kicks is here AGAIN. I swear I see him at least three times a week

Actually on that, I read this article this morning: https://www.polygon.com/2020/5/18/21262571/redd-spawn-rates-animal-crossing-culture-fans-art-dealer-forgeries

Players will see Leif, Kicks, and Saharah every week. There are two days a week where none of them appear; those days will be randomly filled with Flick, CJ, Gulliver, Label, or Redd. So while some players might not see Redd for a while, others might have bought something from his ship recently — and are instead hurting to see a different NPC.

In addition, according to Ninji, there’s a “bad luck” mechanic: If you don’t see one of the five special visitors, they will be given priority in the following week. With that in mind, after Redd’s first guaranteed visit, players should be seeing him fairly regularly in the long term. However, since he’s so new — and much more interesting than Gulliver — it might be frustrating to wait for him at all. But maybe that’s appropriate: Redd, shady fellow that he is, shows up when he likes.

There's a nook miles achievement for catching 5 wasps in a day without getting stung. I am very achievements oriented! So keep the net out while shaking.

I caught 2 more snappy turtles last night but I keep them as pets! I have one already with a lil house and litter tray and a cat tower.

Bah. I'd appreciate an update where two visitors can be on the island at the same time wit each one appearing twice a week.

That said, if they were crowding the island, you'd get tired of them pretty quickly. Maybe just Redd twice a week.

I had three visitors yesterday: CJ, Celeste and Wisp.
But that means the rest of the week will be one visit each.

I think there should be one stationary (one in the square or Redd) and one roaming visitor everyday.

Any real art left or have I missed the boat? (both literally and metaphorically )

Any other fish or bugs, when you place them will just be in their tank or bug box. The tanks can be nice in your house, they light up.

But the snappy turtle just sits out and when you pet him he hisses and bites you :pac:

yeaht those rules don't seem to apply to Celeste or Wisp. I've had Celeste once and Wisp twice I think.

It's this one:

The moody painting. I'll open with a dodo code if you want it - required a ladder because I forgot to finish the ramp yesterday...

I would never say no to a bit of cataloguing but nothing in particular thanks.

I'm mid re-arange, it's tough.
I dug up a flower to give you but you can only plant them

Cataloguing is where you pick up and then drop items belonging to others. You can then go to your Nook Shopping and they appear in your catalogue to order.

I only seen this response now. Thanks!
