How to Catch
Guppy has specific requirements that all need to align:
Season: Summer only. The Guppy does not appear in any other season.
Weather: Rainy. Clear, sunny, or snowy days will not produce Guppy. Wait for a rainy summer day before heading to the river.
Time: 08:00 to 20:00. This is a daytime window, covering most of the active day.
Bait: Veggie Bait is required. Craft it at the Chopper II using crops or foraged plants.
River fishing spots are found along the streams running through Hopeland, Starsand Town, and the surrounding areas. Look for fish shadows in the water after tossing Veggie Bait to chum the area.
Other Summer Rainy River Fish
Several other river fish share the Summer/Rainy conditions. When it rains in Summer, consider targeting these alongside Guppy:
Fish | Price | Time | Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
Guppy | 115g | 08:00 - 20:00 | Veggie Bait |
163g | 06:00 - 18:00 | Meat Bait |
Bring both Veggie Bait and Meat Bait on rainy summer days to maximize your catches from river zones.

Tips
Guppy has no oxygen requirement for the Fish Pond, so it can be placed in any pond without using oxygen capacity.
Rainy summer days are great for fishing in general. While waiting for Guppy, you can also catch Grass Carp at Lake zones and Emperor Angelfish at the Ocean, since they share the same Summer/Rainy conditions.
At 115g base price, Guppy is worth 230g at the Merchant Ship. If you catch several on a rainy day, save them for the Ship's Monday refresh.
Since you need Veggie Bait, make sure to have crops or foraged plants stockpiled before summer starts. Craft a batch at the Chopper II ahead of time.
