Fishing is one of the main pastimes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and gives players a relaxing activity they can do daily. With 80 different species of fish to catch, players can spend a ton of hours angling and hoping to land a big catch. Although it's not terribly difficult to fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons- you simply need to toss a fishing line in the direction of one of the fish-shaped shadows that appear in ponds, rivers, and the sea - there is actually a lot of nuance to where and how fish appear in the game. Here are a few things that you need to know about fishing in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Location
One of the most important parts of fishing in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is choosing where you plan to fish. Generally speaking, fish appear in one of three different habitats: the sea, rivers, and ponds. Different fish spawn in different bodies in water, so you'll want to make sure that you're fishing in all three areas in order to maximize the number of species you catch. Keep in mind that ponds are fully enclosed bodies of water, so if you're crafting a pond using your Landscaping Tools, you'll need to make sure it's fully split off from a river.
Additionally, some fish also spawn in specific spots, such as the mouth of rivers, the river on the top of your cliffs, or off the pier in the sea. For instance, salmon and sturgeon only spawn at the mouths of rivers, while tuna and marlin only appear off the pier.
Weather and Timing
Another important consideration when it comes to fishing is what time you fish. Like bugs, some fish only appear in the morning, while others only appear in the afternoon and night. Many fish are also seasonal, so they only appear during certain months depending on whether you live in the Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere. While there aren't any fish that are exclusive to one Hemisphere or another, some fish only appear for a couple of months before disappearing, so you'll have to wait until next year, unless you have a friend who lives in the opposite Hemisphere.
There are also a handful of fish (such as the coelacanth) that only appear when its raining. Other fish also have increased chances of appearing while it rains.
Shadow Sizes
You can often get a hint about what what fish has appeared in the water based on the size of the fish's shadow. There are six different sizes of shadows - extra small, small, medium, large, extra large, and giant. Eels and sharks also have distinctive shadows - eels have skinnier shadows than normal fish, while sharks have a fin. Sharks, in particular, are usually rare and require a faster reaction time than normal fish, but they sell for a lot more Bells than normal fish.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu
Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Reviews: Horrified SeaQuest Aquarium Visitors Tell All | PETA - PETA Posted: 21 Sep 2020 12:00 AM PDT SeaQuest aquariums—which are owned by Vince Covino—are plagued by issues: animal deaths, legal violations, injuries to employees and members of the public from direct contact with animals, and customer reviews that'll make your jaw drop (and not in a good way). So if you've ever considered visiting a SeaQuest location or any other Covino-operated aquarium, do yourself and animals a favor: Learn from these TripAdvisor and Yelp reviewers. At SeaQuest Folsom in California, an otter was apparently whacked with a broom. "This place smells the animals look tortured and starved. I'm not a fan of this place. Took my family and we ran out of there. … We will never go back. Also we saw an employee wack an otter with a broom. … If you love animals you will hate t
