Where to catch which fish (A guide from players for players)

[LennyOgg]

I saw this post on reddit and there seemingly is no list yet about how and where to catch which fish when to complete the Family Collection, so I thought, why not make it here - together?
If your Zois cought a fish that isn’t listed below, let us know where, when and with which rod it can be caught and if it can be displayed in a fish tank.
(Disclaimer: ADHD brain at work here, let me also know if I made something wrong ö.ö)

I’ll collect the data you share in this first post and hopefully, we’ll get all them fish together here with info how to catch and where.

Thank you so much for compiling this great list @LennyOgg !!

So far I can add to it these 2. I had the gold rod, so I don´t know if it is possible to catch with the ones below it.

This was at the beach in Cahaya:

And this in the park in Cahaya:

Awesome! Added them, thank you

At the bottom of the window is the minimum rod listed with which you can catch the fish

Thanks for letting me know. Somehow I overlooked this part

Awesome guide. Maybe this information can be added to the Wiki, if it hasn’t been already.
