Detailed guide
Stone Loach location
The item page identifies the Upper Mines as the Stone Loach location. It does not give one exact floor, room, pond tile, or time of day inside that mine region. Search fishable Upper Mines water rather than claiming a guaranteed floor. [S1]
The fish is obtained with a fishing pole and is not listed as diveable. A Dive Hole route would therefore conflict with the captured item data. The supported action is standard rod fishing near the correct shadow. [S1]
Season, weather, size, and rarity
Stone Loach is available in all seasons and any weather according to the structured item page. Its rarity is common and its size is medium. Those broad conditions remove the need to wait for a particular seasonal forecast. [S1]
Common does not mean the source guarantees a catch on the first cast. The pack provides no exact spawn probability or number of fish per room. Look for a medium shadow and allow normal random fishing behavior. [S1][S2]

How to make the catch
The fishing page says to use the Charged Tool action in appropriate water, with left-click hold shown as the captured PC default. Cast near a visible fish shadow rather than dropping the bobber far away. Controls can be rebound, so follow the current on-screen action if the default differs. [S2]
Wait until an exclamation mark appears above the bobber before reeling. The source warns that reeling too early can fail the catch. The pack does not describe a Stone Loach-specific reaction window or special bait requirement. [S2]
Water Tablet quest use
Stone Loach is required for the story quest named The Water Tablet. That use gives the first catch progression value beyond its sale price. Players on the quest should keep the fish instead of selling it immediately. [S1]
The source does not provide the entire Water Tablet offering list or exact quest sequence in this pack. No additional items or quantities are supplied by memory. Follow the current quest log for the remaining requirements. [S1]
Museum donation
The item page marks Stone Loach as donatable to the Upper Mines museum set. A museum-focused player may need a separate catch if the quest consumes or reserves the first one. The source does not say that one fish automatically satisfies both uses. [S1]
The captured sell price is 35 Tesserae, but donation and story progress may outweigh that amount for an early copy. This article does not assign a museum reward or town-rank value because those details are not included. Check the museum indicator before selling duplicates. [S1]
Other captured uses and reactions
The item page also lists Stone Loach for the optional Crown Request named Fish. It records Hayden and Vera as disliking the item when given as a gift. Those facts make quest or museum use safer than casual gifting. [S1]
The material does not provide a complete reaction list for every villager. An unlisted character is not automatically neutral or positive. Do not generalize the two named dislikes into a universal gift category. [S1]
Fishing skills and schools
The fishing source says Fish Schools can provide multiple catches. It names Appealing Reeling, School Crasher, Frenzy, and Lucky Haul as skills that affect fishing efficiency or schools. The pack does not establish a required Stone Loach skill build. [S1][S2]
Fishing stamina is consumed on a successful catch rather than the initial cast in the captured page. Historical and work-in-progress notes mean exact skill costs or stamina formulas should be verified before writing a build guide. This location article avoids unsupported optimization numbers. [S2]
Fast checklist
Enter the Upper Mines, find fishable water, look for a medium shadow, cast nearby, and wait for the exclamation mark before reeling. You can try in any season and weather because the item page lists no restriction. Keep the first suitable catch for The Water Tablet or the Upper Mines museum set. [S1][S2]
Do not waste time waiting for a specific hour, weather event, or season that the source never requires. Do not use a Dive Hole or claim one guaranteed floor. The direct route is simple, while exact odds and a best room remain Pending verification (待确认). [S1][S2]
