Stardew Valley players will have to do a lot of crafting, fishing, exploring, and more. Catfish are one of the rare fish that players can only catch under certain conditions. While not exactly the most difficult fish to catch, players will find it difficult to find catfish in Stardew Valley, especially if they are new to the game.
There are different seasons in Stardew Valley and some activities can be done based on the season that is going on. Fishing is not limited to seasons though. In addition to the season, players also have to take the weather into account. Certain fish can only be found under certain weather conditions during the right season.
Players can catch the Catfish in Stardew Valley in Pelican Town's River, the Riverlands Farm, or the Hill-top Farm during spring and fall. They can also find the fish during summer, but only in the Secret Woods and Witch's Swamp. However, along with the season, players will only be able to catch the Catfish during rainy days. Additionally, players will not be able to catch it without the right bait and an Iridium Fishing Rod.
Although catfish is a fish with an above average difficulty, catching it will become easier as you improve your fishing skills. There are a few recipes that can use catfish and they can be very useful. However, one of the most important uses is to create a quality fertilizer. This allows players to grow better crops because the quality of the soil is improved. However, players will also need to improve their farming skills.
