What Is Fishing

Catch Fish To Make Money

You will be able to sell fish that you've caught for Bells. Seeing as some fish sell for much higher, it's important to know which fish to catch to make the most money.

Donate To The Museum

You will also be able to donate fish to the Museum, where you can go & view them at any time. Donating will not provide you with any Bells, however.

Fish Spawn Locations

Each Fish Has A Specific Location

Every type of fish in the game has its own specific spawn location. This isn't a specific spot, but rather a specific body of water. You'll find different fish species in the Sea, Ponds, and Rivers.

Time Also Affects Fish Spawning

The time of day also plays a part in the types of fish that spawn. Often what you can catch in the day and the night differs.

Fish On Mystery Islands

It's possible to go on Mystery Tours to islands which have a certain specific subset of fish for you to catch. One such example is Shark Island. Mystery Tours require Nook Miles Ticket to access, however!

Use Fish Bait To Spawn Fish

Scatter Fish Bait in any body of water and a fish will appear immediately. This will work at any time & anywhere, even at Piers & other locations. The type of fish will be random. Bait can be made using Manila Clams, so make sure to stock up on them.
