Introduction.

In the game Animal Crossing City Folk, there are 64 different species of fish for you to collect. They can be found in various locations, at different times of the day, and different times of the year. Each month throught the year has different fish that will appear. However, August and September are the only exceptions. They are split into two different zones, where different fish appear in.


Below is a map of the different locations that fish can appear in throughout a town.
