Prime Locations
The quality of fish rises the farther the line is cast from any walkable area. The position and water color have no effect otherwise. For example: in the river in the southwest part of Pelican town, you can cast your line far and come up with gold fish most if not all of the time.
Below are some suggested prime locations, where there are no nearby walkable areas to reduce distance from shore. Some of these are also the exact locations for the legendary fish.
Pelican Town
- Below the path on the right of Jodi's house.
The Beach
- Western pier. Cast near the rock.
- Where the river meets the ocean (in the middle of the river mouth triangle). Cast at an angle into the dark blue water from either side.
- Eastern pier (across the repaired bridge). Cast down or left at the end of the dock.
Cindersap Forest
- Below and six tiles to the left of Leah's door.
- Island near the hat shop.
The Mountains
- Southwest edge of the fence past Robin's house.
- Southern tip of the second island, also accessible from the area near the broken bridge to the east.
Time and Locations
According to the game file, a fishing spot is not divided by ocean, lake and river, but by the maps. For instance, the river south of Leah's house is not the same as the river in town.
Note that special fish are not included in the below tables. These special fish are the 5 Legendary fish and the 4 Mine fish.
The following tables are based on the Locations.xnb file:

The Sewers
The Sewers are an easy and productive fishing location, especially to level up the fishing skill or farm treasure. Carp is the least difficult fish to catch in the game and it is the only fish in the sewers (except for a single Legendary Fish, the Mutant Carp). Therefore, every cast of the line results in either an immediate item reward or a quick Carp catch. This makes the Sewers an ideal place to fish for treasure since Carp are unlikely to escape. Since carp and algae are the only possible non-treasure catches, your inventory will not become clogged with other fish, unlike at locations with more diverse fish stocks.
