Catch the Community Center’s four Lake Fish Bundle fish in the Mountain Lake: the large lake on the Mountain map, just outside the Mines. Largemouth Bass, Carp, Bullhead, and Sturgeon all appear there; their seasons and hours differ, but the bundle reference lists no weather restrictions for them.

Where is the Mountain Lake?

Open the Mountain map and fish in the large lake outside the Mines. “Lake fish” generally refers to fish from this spot, not fish from the pond in Cindersap Forest or the underground water inside the Mines. The Mountain fishing schedule uses “Mountain” to mean this lake. Stardew Valley Wiki: The Mountain

Which fish go in the Lake Fish Bundle?

The Community Center’s Lake Fish Bundle calls for four fish. These are their Mountain Lake schedules:

Fish Season Hours Weather
Largemouth Bass All seasons 6 a.m.–7 p.m. Any
Carp Spring, Summer, Fall Any time Any
Bullhead All seasons Any time Any
Sturgeon Summer and Winter 6 a.m.–7 p.m. Any

These conditions come from the bundle’s Mountain Lake listings; the page also notes that the fish can be found in any weather and at the Wilderness Farm. Carp has alternate locations: it can also be caught in the Secret Woods or Sewers at any time in all seasons. Stardew Valley Wiki: Bundles

Other fish you can catch in the Mountain Lake

The lake has more than the four bundle fish. Check each fish’s schedule rather than assuming every species shares the same hours or season.

Fish Schedule or condition
Chub Any time, all seasons
Rainbow Trout Summer, sunny weather
Walleye Fall, rainy weather; noon–2 a.m.
Midnight Carp Fall and Winter; check the in-game night hours before planning a trip
Lingcod Winter, any time
Perch Winter
Legend Spring rain, Fishing level 10, and a bobber placed at least four tiles from land

Fish availability depends on the combination of location, season, time, and weather—not location alone. Stardew Valley Wiki: Fishing Strategy Stardew Valley Wiki: Fish

How to catch the Legend

The Legend is a special Mountain Lake catch with stricter requirements than ordinary lake fish. Under normal rules, fish during Spring rain with Fishing level 10; a Fishing buff can raise your level to meet the requirement. Cast so the bobber lands in water at least four tiles from land. The water near the large submerged log meets that distance requirement. In single player, the Legend can normally be caught only once per save; in multiplayer, each player can normally catch it once. Magic Bait bypasses its usual season and weather limits. Stardew Valley Wiki: Legend Stardew Valley Wiki: Legendary Fish

Which fish should a beginner try first?

Carp is described by the Mountain map reference as particularly easy to catch, making the lake a useful early practice spot. For the bundle, check the season first, then whether you have time to fish before 7 p.m. for Largemouth Bass or Sturgeon. Weather does not restrict any of the four bundle fish at the Mountain Lake.
