Match the location first, then season, time and weather. Island, mine, event and other special locations can override ordinary seasonal rules; the linked entry resolves those exceptions. These conditions do not guarantee a catch.
Winter rain requires a Rain Totem. Ordinary seasonal weather alone is insufficient; location-specific exceptions still apply.
Game and item names below retain the source’s English identifiers so you can find them in the linked documentation.

Using this reference
For Catfish, read location, season, weather and time together. Matching only one field does not establish that the fish is available in your current situation. Where a special condition is listed, keep that condition alongside the main table rather than treating it as optional advice.
Use another fish from the same location as a comparison when planning a trip. Difficulty and sale price describe different things: a higher price is not a measure of how often a fish appears. This reference does not predict a bite or calculate the effect of tackle and player skill.
