While that helped work all this out, you’ll still need to keep fishing for most of a whole year if you want to find everything you can. So good luck and happy reels, here’s how to catch every Animal Crossing New Horizons fish?

when and where to catch all Animal Crossing New Horizons fish

Being able to catch every Animal Crossing New Horizons fish will take you most of the year thanks to seasonal variations. But it’s essential for Blathers’ museum, and completing his collection. Animal Crossing: New Horizons sea creatures are something else entirely, so check that guide for more. Here we’re all about the fish, specifically when and where they appear so you can catch them all in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
As we mentioned, what fish you can catch varies across the time of day, year and locations. When we first started this guide we worked across two Animal Crossing islands to discover all the fish available across the north and south hemispheres to speed up the year’s discoveries. While that helped work all this out, you’ll still need to keep fishing for most of a whole year if you want to find everything you can. So good luck and happy reels, here’s how to catch every Animal Crossing New Horizons fish?

If you’re new to the series and are wondering how to fish in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, what you need to do is get a fishing rod, and then aim to drop your hook ahead of where the fish is facing. Then wait until the fish spots it. They will nose the hook, but wait until it pulls the float under the water with a satisfying plop. Then press A immediately to reel it in.
