Common Challenges

Sunfish in Stardew Valley can be elusive, but there are specific hindrances. These fish only appear during summer and fall, and only in the river near the mountain quarry on rainy days. Their size and speed also make them tricky to catch.

Innovative Solutions

To increase your chances of catching sunfish, head to the river on a rainy day during summer or fall. Use bait to improve your chances. Cast your line close to structures like logs or rocks, as sunfish often hide near them. Smaller tackle can also be beneficial due to their diminutive size.
