Methodology

Measurements:

The information provided in the table represents my personal gameplay experience and recordings, not solely restricted to the data in the table. Initially, I documented catches during the morning and clear weather conditions, denoted as “Always” in the table. Subsequently, I incorporated special circumstances such as “Afternoon” (Afternoon/Night) or “Rain.”

Weather:

During my observations, I found that weather conditions, including snow and rain, did not appear to significantly affect the availability of fish across seasons. Although the table indicates that Flyingfish can be found on the Docks during rain, this is solely based on a single occurrence where I caught one at the Docks during a rainy spell. It is possible that they are just a less common catch at that particular location.

And by the way, this suit is unbelievably itchy!
