Pond Fishing Locations

There is only one location to keep in mind when fishing for pond fish. Bodies of water that are roughly the same length and width become Ponds, and all Pond fish can be found in them!

How to Make Shaped Ponds

ACNH - Pond

1 Craft Fish Bait and throw it from the end the pier
2 Check for the shadow of the fish you want
