Stardew Valley · River | Compare

Choose a variant below. Closely related recipes, conditions or opening branches are collected here so you can compare them without moving between almost identical pages.

The version and limits of the original source apply to every entry. Quantities and requirements belong to the named variant; do not add alternative recipes or opening lines together.

These options share a planning task. Their differences stay visible in the individual rows and calculators.

Using this reference

For River, 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.
