Animal Crossing: New Horizons offers a lot of different ways for players to enjoy island life. One of the primary ways of enjoying your time is by fishing. Although it seems like a trivial task, catching new species of fish can be rewarding. Fish can be used to either complete the museum collection or even by making more bells.
Catching the fish you want can be a little tough, though. The game follows real world seasons, so the availability of certain fish will vary from season to season. What fish you catch can also be influenced by the time of day, weather, and location on your island where you're fishing.
Fishing is a simple task. When you see a fish's shadow in water, cast your fishing rod in that direction. Fish will often nibble a few times before grabbing onto your line. When a fish grabs the line, you'll hear a loud "plop" sound, and should press A right away to start reeling that fish in.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons also steps up the realism by adding Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere options, which will change when fish are available.

The Northern Hemisphere will see the return of the bitterling, blowfish, tuna, blue marlin, and football fish. For those who haven't caught a blue marlin in the northern hemisphere, now is the time! However, the cherry salmon, char, golden trout, mitten crab, guppy, neon tetra, sea horse, zebra turkeyfish, barred knifejaw, and ray will be leaving at the end of November.
In the Southern Hemisphere, we finally see the arrival of the frog, catfish, nibble fish, angelfish, betta, rainbowfish, giant trevally, and mahi-mahi this month. Unfortunately, the loach, golden trout, and oarfish leave at the end of November.
Here's a guide to all the fish available right now in each location and how much they sell for in Nook's Cranny. Remember that CJ will pay double what the Nooks pay for fish.
