So from what I understand a Sturgeon is caught at river mouth and Stringfish at clifftop - have yet to see any fish shadows bigger than sea bass yet though! Am I right in thinking by clifftop I should only be looking on the topmost layer? And for river mouth it means where river meets sea? Any other tips please? Thank you :)

Both are considered rare spawns so will take time to find.

You are correct on the sturgeon - it appears in the river mouth, 24 hours a day. It's considerably larger than a sea bass, you'll know by the silhouette that it is a sturgeon.

The Stringfish can be found at a clifftop, literally just by a waterfall. They are incredibly rare (much rarer than sturgeon imo), and appear between 4pm-9am. It will take time and patience to catch this fish, be expected to grind for a long time. I don't believe it matters whether you are on the second or third layer - if you are catching chars/cherry salmons/golden trouts, you are in the correct area as these are also considered 'cliff top' fish.

Would suggest mass farming fish bait, as it will speed up the spawning of fish in locations. You can sit at the clifftop or river mouth and throw bait in, forcing a fish to spawn there. If you are lucky, you may get a sturgeon/stringfish!

both a fairly big fish noticeably so, with enough bait you should find them. I’d prioritise the string fish as that won’t be back till December, it’s available from 4pm until 9am with the sturgeon being around the clock.
 
Oh my God I cannot for the life of me find the stringfish. I fished for 2 hours straight from 2-4am yesterday and now I'm trying some more and can't find any. Meanwhile my friend goes "it's easy I caught like 3 of those"??? No luck
 
Nice, thanks all! Good thinking as hadn't noticed that, will prioritise stringfish! Ahh love this game so much, just what I needed right now!! :D
 
For the past 3 days I’ve been using 50+ bait a night just trying to get a stringfish. I gave up!! I doubt I’ll get it before the end of March. :( Good luck!!!
