How to use this data

Plan a Catfish catch without wasting the season

Fish pages are most useful when you turn the season, weather, time, and location fields into a short fishing plan before the day starts.

  1. Check the season first: Catfish is only useful to chase when Spring / Fall is active.
  2. Match the time window before traveling. If the window is narrow, finish watering, animals, or mining plans before committing to the fishing trip.
  3. Use the location and weather fields together. A correct location on the wrong weather day is still a failed trip.
  4. If you need this for a bundle, catch and store one before selling extras.
