The best order to catch fish for the community center?

[MaxWhite3790]

Hi! Sorry to bother you all with this, but... Can anyone help me out find the best order to catch fish for the community center?

I know you don't have to catch in a specific order, but for efficiency (and planning) freaks like me, I'd love to have an agenda/schedule saying something like...

## Spring - Day 2

- Catch 1x [Fish Name] on [Location] at [Time].

And of course, there are fish that can only be caught when it's raining, but then this one is the easiest. Just say:

## Spring - Day 2

- Catch 1x [Fish Name] on [Location] at [Time].

When it's raining, catch 1x [Fish Name] on [Location] at [Time].

 

[One More Day]

Depends what's your goal for the Community Center. I mean, if you're just trying to speedrun the game then watch one of TheHaboo's videos, and copy that that's going to be as efficient as it gets.

If you're not speedrunning though, if you're just playing "normally", then there's probably not much to be gained by trying to schedule fishing to the nth degree, you'll catch everything you need in the normal course of things.

I just did something like this:
I hung out by the river until grabbing all the fish for that season at least once then I moved to the beach and lake next. Rinse and repeat until getting all the common fish every season. And when the Midnight Market was on, went every day to grab multiple copies of the rare fish. That way I got all the fish requirements for the fishing archivement.

If you are focusing on only getting the bundles, it should go something like this:

Among the lake ones, only the sturgeon isn't available all year round so these ones you can do whenever you have some time to kill.
