How filters work

Rows come from fish and forage extracts. Filters hide entries that cannot appear under the selected season, weather, time, and location so you are not scrolling a wiki table by hand.

Rain-only fish (Catfish), night windows, and ocean legendaries stay visible only when their rules match your filters.

  • Season + weather + time + location filters.
  • Legendary fish included when present in the extract.
  • Forage rows for the same conditions.
  • Deep links to per-fish catch guides.

Common questions

What fish can I catch in the rain?
Set weather to rain on this matrix and pick river or forest locations. Catfish is the classic rainy-day target in spring and fall; other rain-gated fish appear when their extract windows match.
Does this include legendary fish?
Yes when they exist in the extract. Their special requirements still apply in-game even if they pass the matrix filters — see Catching every legendary fish.
Where should I fish for the most gold?
High-value seasonal fish (Catfish, Super Cucumber, Sturgeon) beat random ocean casts once you know the window. Filter this matrix, then compare sell prices in the Fish catalog.
