If youve been playing Animal Crossing : City Folk for the Wii and been simply sauntering up the the beaches and rivers hoping to catch the “big one”, youve been doing it wrong — just like I used to.
As you may have suspected, not all fish can be caught at any time of the day and a majority of the fish arent swimming every month either. With my guide, based on hundreds of hours of gameplay and many many hours of online research, you will be able to easily know when, where and how you should be fishing. Stop wasting precious real life hours waiting for a fish that may never come. Read more about my 32 page guide below…
Every month of the year, the fish change in Animal Crossing City Folk. Sometimes, certain fish only stick around for half the month. This confused me and it certainly confused my daughters when we started playing the game. Thats why I decided to create a calendar that would list every fish that you could catch each month. You will be able to know what hours of the day have the best opportunities and which dont. The calendar also shows how much Tom Nook will purchase each fish for, the size of each fish and also where the fish can be found. And finally, if you are trying to catch every fish in the game, Ive provided you with a checklist column to help you keep track of your progress. And unlike the “Official Prima Guide to Animal Crossing City Folk” (created by Nintendo), my calendar is easier to use and it isnt riddled with errors.
At the end of the calendar Ive also included a handy museum fish checklist. If you like donating your fish, this checklist is just what you have been looking for.
While I was developing the fishing calendar, I played a lot — a whole lot. At the beginning, I noticed that even though I was casting out my line to the fish, I wasnt always able to pull them in and I wondered what the secret was. One night, my fiance turned my attention away from the TV and the lightbulb went off. When I showed her my new method, she thought I was crazy. But as I write this, she is using my secret and pulling in pounds and pounds of fish.
As a BONUS, Im also including my custom Bug and Insect Calendar along with a handy insect checklist you can use for your museum donations. For all 12 months, you will also know when, where and how to catch every bug and insect in the City Folk Game. The summer months are crazy — youll be running around with your net swinging all day! Here is a quick tip if you are having trouble catching the tarantula and scorpion: Never walk around with your net out (equipped), if you do — you will be attacked almost immediately!

“I downloaded your Fish & Insect guide this afternoon and caught my FIRST Barred Knifejaw within 10 minutes of fishing. This rascal has been stealing my bait for months. It was especially nice that the museum curator was impressed and remarked that this is a particularly difficult fish to catch.” – Jody

New fish?[edit]
There is a total of eight new fish that were introduced in this game. They are marked with “(new)” beside them.
9 All Year Round
While most fish come and go based on the seasons, some stay for the long haul. So unlike the jellyfish that prefer those hot summery days, players can find the fish in this first category all throughout the year. The fish that can be found all day are as follows: Barbel Steed in the river, Black Bass in the river, Carp in the river, Crucian Carp in the river, Goldfish in the river, Horse Mackerel in the ocean, Olive Flounder in the ocean, Red Snapper in the ocean, and Sea Bass in the ocean.
From 9am – 4pm, the following fish can be found at their various locations: Bluegill in the river, Pale Chub in the river, and Popeyed Goldfish in the river. From 4pm – 9am players can collect these fish: Dace in the river, Freshwater Goby in the river, Koi in the river, and Coelacanth in the ocean on a rainy day.
8 Spring (February 18th – May 31st)
Ah, finally. The snows melting away and the frosty breeze fades into a gentle warmth at the start of the spring season. Though, while players are up and about, fish are still reeling awake from their winter torpor so they wont find that many new fish at the start of the season.
The daily fish to collect would be the Loach, found in the river.
