Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fish Guide for July 2020

Share

Fishing has always been a massive part of Animal Crossing games, and the latest entry, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, is no exception. Besides selling fish for money, villagers fill out the collections in their museums and compete in seasonal fishing tourneys.

Since Animal Crossing likes to mimic real-world seasons, the fish you might find in the winter aren’t always the same as the summer swimmers. Fish availability can also vary by the time of day, weather, and location. After all, it would be pretty strange to catch a shark in a pond or a river.

To fish, you’ll need a fishing rod. You’ll start with a recipe for a flimsy fishing rod, which breaks often. You can eventually upgrade that and other tools. Catching fish is easy once you know what to look for. Fish often nibble a few times before grabbing on to your line, but when they do, the bob sinks underwater, and you can hear a louder “plop” sound.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons also steps up the realism by adding northern and southern hemisphere options, which will change when fish are available.

New fish available in the Northern Hemisphere in July include the Sweetfish, Napoleonfish, Pufferfish, Blue Marlin, and Ocean Sunfish. The tadpole leave after this month, as does the zebra turkeyfish, which comes back shortly in July.

In the Southern Hemisphere, there aren’t any new fish currently being added to the list. However, there also isn’t any fish leaving. This will give you a little extra time to catch those pesky fish that have been eluding you.

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.
