The Mountain and the Wood Fish Options

[Harvest Sprite]

Firstly, I can't seem to get access to the upper part of Gelato mountain. I've been giving the bear food with a "I think she likes it" response consistently for a season and I have made no progress. I am also having a lot of trouble leveling fishing quickly. Any tips?

I believe you give her two honey things a day for around 20 days and she'll come around. It's double that if you've only been giving her one...

And as for the fishing rod issue... All I can tell you is clear a whole day (feed your animals when you get back, or put them outside) where the only thing you do is go to Cream Beach. Keep casting your rod. Preferably, charge it up as far as it will go before you release 'A'... And keep the fishing rod in the water until you get the message that says something like 'Didn't get any bites' or until you catch a fish (or trash)... If you take several days (not too many, because people might lose friendship hearts) like that, the process goes by much faster.

Hope that was of some help to you. :)
