Fish

Discover every fish available in March for both Northern and Southern Hemispheres in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Includes locations, times, shadow sizes, and prices.

Alright, let's talk about fishing in Animal Crossing: New Horizons! It's a super chill way to make some Bells and fill up your Critterpedia. March is a pretty good month for it, with a bunch of different fish popping up depending on which hemisphere you're in.

We've broken down what you can catch, where to find them, what time of day they're biting, their shadow size (which helps you guess what you've hooked!), and how much they'll fetch from Nook's Cranny or CJ.
