Since you can’t see the fish before you catch them, like how you can for bugs, you’ll have to rely on the size of the fish’s shadow to tell you which fish it may be. Most fish are available all day or during a specific period of time, which usually changes at 4 a.m., 9 a.m., 4 p.m., and 9 p.m. Some only appear where the ocean connects to rivers, while others swim only in rivers on cliffs.

In this guide, we’ll show you how, when, and where to catch them all. Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch has 80 different fish for players to catch.
