Here’s how players can reel in all the fish available during Spring in Stardew Valley, with a list of the conditions required to spawn them.
Spring serves as a fresh start, where the grass turns green, trees regain their leaves, and delicate pink petals blow through the air on windy days. In Stardew Valley, Spring is the first season that players experience when the game begins. Just like seasonal crops, there is a variety of fish that only appear during this season.
During Spring in Stardew Valley, the town’s rivers and lakes are filled with different kinds of fish that players can catch and sell to earn good money. Some fish spawn at specific locations during set times of the day or under specific weather conditions. For players who have upgraded the farmhouse to unlock the kitchen, fish can be used as ingredients in cooking recipes, such as Sashimi and Maki Rolls.

Quick Tips for Fishing in Stardew Valley
- Upgrading the fishing rod in Stardew Valley improves fishing success, as the higher quality rods can catch more fish.
- The darker hue within water bodies denotes deeper water, making them prime fishing spots. Players should cast their rods in these areas to increase the chances of catching a better type of fish.
- Good quality baits, such as Fried Eel, Fish Taco, and Seafoam Pudding significantly increase the chances of attracting a greater number of fish.
- Players should watch closely for floating bubbles, as they indicate areas with active fish. Fishing in these spots enhances the likelihood of a successful catch.
