Fish Finder

The Fish Finder reads the canonical 69-fish catalog and filters by the same four catch conditions used in-game. Results always match the per-fish records, including source labels and last-checked dates.

Filter dimensions:

1. Season: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, or Any

• Some fish appear in all seasons (year-round species)
• Seasonal fish only appear during their listed seasons
• A few fish have sub-seasonal windows (e.g., Great White Shark: Summer days 1-14 only)

1. Weather: Fair, Rain, or Any

• Fair-weather fish only appear when it is sunny or windy
• Any-weather fish can be caught regardless of conditions
• Storm-only fish are the rarest category

1. Time: Morning, Afternoon, Evening, Night, or Any

• Time slots determine when a fish is active
• Some fish have split schedules (e.g., surface-only in morning/afternoon, all-day in deeper zones)
• Plan fishing trips around your target fish's active window

1. Location: Forest, Farm, Town, Lake, Pond, Beach, Lookout, Pier, Estuary, Cave, Deep Forest, Savannah, Water Mine, or Any

• Each location has its own fish pool
• Some fish appear at multiple locations
• Deeper locations (Deep Forest, Savannah, Water Mine) require story progression or ocean restoration to access

1. Rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary, or Any

• Legendary fish are the most elusive and valuable
• They often require specific conditions across all four filters simultaneously
• Examples: Great White Shark (Summer 1-14, sunny/windy, ocean pier), Hammerhead Shark (Fall/Winter 8-21, rain/storm, ocean lookout)

Results display:

• Fish name and image
• Sell price (base quality)
• Rarity tier
• Active seasons, weather, time, and location
• Direct link to the full fish record with source labels

Use cases:

• 'What can I catch right now?' — Set all filters to current in-game conditions
• 'Where is Catfish?' — Search by name, see all conditions at once
• 'What Legendary fish are available in Fall?' — Filter by season + rarity
• 'What fish are at the Lake?' — Filter by location only

The Fish Finder connects directly to the Fishing Basics guide for mechanics context and the Ocean Restoration guide for location unlocking requirements.
