Animal Crossing: New Horizons is finally here and it’s wonderful! The graphics have really taken a step up since its previous versions. But it still retains all the quaint and beautiful little nuances and activities that make it Animal Crossing . Now one of the main activities in any Animal Crossing is fishing. Whether its to rack up enough bells to pay off Nook, fill up your museum or just for fun fishing is something you’re definitely going to be focusing on. Now, this guide won’t go into how to fish (because it’s honestly not that difficult), but instead, give you a good reference list for all the fish available in Animal Crossing . Happy Fishing!
