Once you're a high level fisherman you'll catch better fish. This can help when trying to catch a perfect fish but it isn't the only deciding factor. You'll need to also use the perfect bait for the fish. If you inspect the water that you're going to fish on, it will tell you the types of fish that are inside. You should read fishing books to find out which fish like which bait. Pair that knowledge together with your high fishing skill and you have all the tools needed to get this trophy. The better quality bait you use also affects the chances that you'll catch a perfect fish.
The easiest fish to catch are Minnows. You can begin catching perfect Minnows at level 5 fishing. You don't even need to have a special kind of bait to catch perfect Minnows. I found it easiest to catch perfect Minnows at Fairy Tale Park. The following traits and lifetime rewards can help with this trophy.
-Angler - Trait
-Loves Outdoors - Trait
Simply get your fishing skill to at least seven and at some point you will end up catching a "Perfect Fish". You can click on any stretch of water you come across in town to start fishing. You can also find fishing locations from the town map they are the locations with a fishing hook symbol. You don't have to worry about bait or the location. The best fishing spots are the spots where you can see fish jumping up out of the water. You can even create your own fishing spot in your back garden by going to land sculpting and making a lake. It seems the bigger and deeper the lake the more fish it will contain.
