Where to Find River Jelly in Stardew Valley
Unlike Sea Jellies, you can only find River Jellies withinriver locations in Pelican Town. Going to the beachnear Willy’s Shopwill only give you Sea Jellies, so ensure to stick to the river that runs through the town.
There’s no specific location on the river where River Jellies more frequently appear, so you can choose any location you prefer. Keep in mind that all jellies are veryrare, so it will take a bit of time before you get one on your line.
How to Catch River Jelly in Stardew Valley
Since River Jellies are incredibly rare, they won’t appear very often on your fishing rod. In this case, there area few baits and tacklesyou can use to speed up the process. We recommend:
As always, it’s a good idea to have some Bait readily available to attach to your fishing rod. you may now also get or makeDeluxe Bait, which increases the speed that fish bite, and increases the size of the fishing bar. Along with some Deluxe Bait, you can add aDressed Spinnerto your rod, which uses colorful streamers to attract fish, therefore increasing the bite-rate. Without these two items, fish would much less frequently get hooked on your line, therefore adding additional time to your fishing trip.
It is also recommended that you seek out areas in the river that havebubbling spots. These will have many more fish, therefore increasing your chance of getting a River Jelly on your line. These often refresh, so if you can’t find any, one will for sure pop up eventually.
How to Use River Jelly

If you’d prefer to sell your River Jelly, you can add it to yourShipping Binand receive 125 g. Remember that it cannot be sold to Willy in his shop, since jellies are not technically considered fish. Another great thing you can use it for is to craft your ownFish Smoker, which is an item that can smoke your fish and increase their selling value.
