All four legendary fish
Treat the morning alert as a calendar event. Go to the correct water before spending the day elsewhere.
| Fish | Season and weather | Water and shadow |
|---|---|---|
| Cherry Fish | Spring; breezy with petals | Pond; small |
| Lightning Fish | Summer; storm or thunderstorm | River; medium |
| Leaf Fish | Fall; windy with falling leaves | River; small |
| Snow Fish | Winter; blizzard | Ocean; medium |
Why the message appears
After you unlock the Legendary Fishing perk, a valid day starts with the message and a silhouette of the fish available that day. The alert does not mean the fish can be caught in every pond, river, or ocean location.
Donate the first catch
Current community documentation says only one of each legendary variety can be caught per save. Donate the first one to the Museum instead of selling or gifting it.
