Fishing Assumptions
- Fishing is interesting for income the first Spring and possibly Summer.
- These calculations assume you can catch nearly all the fish you hook. This assumption could affect the comparative value of rainy river fishing if Catfish are the only fish you are failing to catch.
- Zamiel's absolute numbers assume you have a high enough player+farmer proficiency to get nearly 100% Iridium fish. This assumption could affect the comparative value of the rainy river if Catfish are the only fish you are not getting Iridium.
Best Fishing Spots in Spring
Sunny weather: Mountain Lake is best casting east from east of the Carpenter's Shop.
Rainy weather: Forest River is best casting south from 6 tiles west of Leah's door.
