Using this reference
For River / Forest Pond, 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.
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.
