A guide on where to fish and when to complete the collection as soon as possible.
 
 

Intro

I’ve planned a strategy into what I think is the fewest number of days possible in order to get them all.
 
 
The locations are in the order they are based on the difficulty of the fish, as it starts with the easier fish to give you time to level up for the harder ones.
 
 
All fish that can be caught in any weather I have put into sunny days as they are more common, but some can be caught on rainy days too, just wanted to simplify it!
 
 
Many of the fish in Spring can also be caught in later seasons if they are missed, but it’s much simpler to just try and get them all asap to focus on the more difficult ones later on.
 
 
This is only doable in year 1 if the legendary fish can be caught by the end of Spring.
