There are upwards of 70 fish to catch in Stardew Valley, and while some are relatively easy to find, the same cannot be said of all of them. Catfish are some of the harder fish to get your hands on, and since you need one to complete the River Fish Community Center Bundle, you are going to need to find one at some point in your adventure. If you’ve found yourself needing a Catfish but not knowing when or how to reel one in, we’ve got everything you need to know in this Stardew Valley Catfish guide.
When to Catch a Catfish in Stardew Valley
Catfish are uncommon fish that can be found in streams, ponds, and rivers throughout Pelican Town. You can only catch them in Spring and Fall, and they only spawn between the hours of 6 AM to 12 AM when it’s raining. The weather conditions that Catfish require to spawn make it one of the tricker fish to find. You can either wait until it’s raining naturally or, if the season is almost over and you still haven’t caught a Catfish yet, you can use a Rain Totem to summon the rain for you.
