There's another area as well, but as it is post-CC content, it isn't relevant to this discussion. Only available in the Secret Woods when raining in the Summer. If you missed it in Spring, you can try again in Summer. If you're an expert angler, you can try for it on Spring 3, but for most new players, you'll have to hold off until you have more levels in Fishing.ĭon't forget that Bream are available in all seasons. 4PM-2AM, in the Ocean, only while it is raining. Quite possible it is your very first catch if your first cast is off of Willy's Pier. The only one of this bundle able to be caught in the Spring, but a very easy catch. That's three out of four fish for the bundle technically available in the Spring, although the Catfish might be a challenge for newer anglers. It CAN be caught with a Training Rod, so if you don't want to risk hooking a Catfish and wasting your time. 9 AM - 2 AM, must be raining, in the River. Cannot be caught with a Training Rod, so you may have to hold off until you get better skill at Fishing before you try your hand at this fish. Great for cash if you can land them, but difficult for the new angler. 6AM-Midnight, must be raining, in the River or the Secret Woods. In addition, your first cast (the one that brings up the tutorial) will replace anything that doesn't have a fishing minigame (trash, seaweed, etc.) or anything difficult to catch, with a Sunfish. If you're spending the day fishing for Shad in the River on Spring 3 (guaranteed rain), you may as well stick around long enough to catch a Bream as well. Fishing in the Lake can be quite profitable as well as a good way to grind your Fishing skill. Three of the four are available in all four seasons, and all relatively easy catches. As a caveat, can only be had in Winter in the Secret Forest and Sewer. CAN be caught with a Training Rod, making them easy to skill-up with. You probably won't be able to avoid catching these low-value fish. Any Time, in the lake, Secret Forest, and Sewer. Can NOT catch this fish with a Training Rod, however. Staple of sport fishing, sells quite well. Three of the four fish can be caught in any season, so long as you have access to their remote location Caught in the Oasis pond in the Desert near the entrance to the Skull Cave. Caught in the Secret Forest pond and (allegedly) even on the Forest Farm. Caught either in the pool in the mines at level 20 or 60, but can also be dropped from Ghosts level 41-79. Oysters, Clams, Cockles and Mussels (alive, alive-oh) can be foraged from the beach, and Crabs can be had by killing Rock Crabs in the mines as you descend, rendering this bundle absolutely trivial for most players, and not even requiring any crab pots to complete! The Crab Pot Bundle can be done at nearly any time. There is also the Oasis in the desert over by the entrance to the Skull Cave. The River refers to any body of water in town or in Cindersnap Forest, excluding the little pond in the forest with the pier and the secret forest pond which are each different and separate areas. The Ocean refers to anywhere on the Beach or Tidal Pool area you can cast into. The Lake refers specifically to the large lake in the mountains near the mine. There are three main areas to catch fish: River, Lake, and Ocean. With that in mind, I present to you the results of my findings.

With this in mind, I thought I'd write up a relatively simple guide on how to complete this bundle as easily and economically as possible.Īt first, I was going to go over each bundle completion, but I realized about half-way through writing up that version that it would be a more coherent format to list the bundle fish by season then by bundle. Then I realized that not everyone has memorized what fish show up when, or are willing to play the game with the Wiki running alongside it. I found it mildly surprising that the Fish Tank was considered by many newer players to be the most difficult bundle to complete, according to the poll recently posted.
