Gar

The Gar is an ancient, armored freshwater predator found in Starsand Island's lakes during autumn. With its elongated, torpedo-shaped body and narrow, tooth-lined snout, the Gar is one of the most prehistoric-looking fish you can pull from freshwater. Its lineage stretches back over 100 million years in the real world, making it a living fossil — and a prized catch for any angler who encounters it in the autumn rains.

The Gar is exclusively active during rainy autumn weather, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Bug Bait is the recommended lure, mimicking the insects and small prey that fall into the lake during rainfall. Watch the autumn forecast and head to the lake when rain arrives — the Gar uses the cover of rain to hunt closer to the surface.

Landing a Gar is a memorable autumn achievement that rewards weather-aware anglers. Its powerful, hard-fighting nature means a good rod is essential. It is a distinctive Islandpedia entry, earns a strong sell price, and is a quality cooking ingredient. If you love fishing in the rain, the autumn lake is where the Gar waits.
