Most fish are available all day or during a specific period of time, which usually changes at 4 a.m., 9 a.m., 4 p.m., and 9 p.m. Some only appear where the ocean connects to rivers, while others swim only in rivers on cliffs. This can be a challenge because there are so many places to catch fish, which spawn in various locations and at different times. To become a fishing master, you’ll have to catch one of each fish. In this guide, we’ll show you how, when, and where to catch them all. Animal Crossing: New Horizons on Switch has 80 different fish for players to catch.
