Catching the Gar in Animal Crossing New Horizons

As long as you’re playing New Horizons between the months noted above, simply follow the steps below to catch a Gar.

  1. Make sure you’re playing the game between 4:00 PM and 9:00 AM.
  2. Equip your fishing rod and go to the pond on your island.
  3. Look for a huge fish shadow in the water. Use Fishing Bait to make a random fish spawn if one doesn’t on its own.
  4. Press A to cast your rod and get it as close to the fish shadow’s head as possible.
  5. Press A again when the fish bites and pulls your float underwater to reel it in.

Congratulations, you’ve just caught a Gar!

Gar Sell Price

The Gar can be sold to Timmy and Tommy at Nook’s Cranny for 6,000 Bells.

It can also be sold to CJ when he visits your town for 9,000 Bells, as he buys fish at a special, increased price.
