The Mutant Carp is a fish that can be caught in The Sewers during all seasons. It is one of the five Legendary Fish, so it can only be caught once per save file, or once per player in Multiplayer.

There are no special requirements necessary to hook a Mutant Carp; every cast in the sewers has a 10% chance of hooking one (20% chance if using a Curiosity Lure).

Although the Mutant Carp cannot be hooked again after it is caught, it is possible to obtain multiple Mutant Carp (per player) by using Challenge Bait to catch it.

Map

The Mutant Carp can be found in The Sewers.

Strategy

A strategy to catch this fish is to stay in the middle of the fishing minigame area until the fish begins resting somewhere else (such as the bottom or top), then stay there. The fish will move up and down continuously to shake the player off and staying in the middle will allow for a slow but continuous catch.

Bundles

The Mutant Carp is not used in any bundles.

Dyeing

It can be used in dyeing, serving as a green dye at the dye pots, located in Emily's and Haley's house, 2 Willow Lane.

Fish Pond

Mutant Carp can be placed in a Fish Pond. The pond capacity is 1 fish and this can not be increased. The only possible output is Mutant Carp Roe.

Produce

Item(s) Produced	Fishing XP Granted	Population	% of Items	Overall Daily Chance
Roe (1-4 (can be more, see details below))	32	1	36%	36%
Nothing		1	64%	64%

If a Fish Pond produces any amount of Roe, the game generates a random number between 0 and 1. If it is less than 0.2, the quantity of the Roe produced increases by 1. This repeats until the random number is greater than or equal to 0.2, at which point the chance for the quantity of the Roe to increase ends. This, on average, will give 0.25 extra Roe. This increase is taken into account before the doubling from the Golden Animal Cracker.

Quests

The Mutant Carp is not used in any quests.
