2. Hold a Water Bucket
Next, select a water bucket in your hotbar so that you are holding it in your hand.
3. Use the Water Bucket on the Salmon
While in front of the salmon, use the water bucket on the salmon. The game control to catch the salmon in the water bucket depends on the version of Minecraft:
- For Java Edition (PC/Mac), right click on the salmon.
- For Pocket Edition (PE), you tap on the salmon.
- For Xbox 360 and Xbox One, press the LT button on the Xbox controller.
- For PS3 and PS4, press the L2 button on the PS controller.

It may take several attempts to catch the salmon in the water bucket. When you successfully catch the salmon, you will see the message “Bucket of Salmon” appear on the screen and your bucket will look like it has a salmon inside. This salmon is still alive and can be released from the bucket whenever you want. This is a great way to move salmon around in the game.
