What season, weather, and time do Rainbow Trout need?
The ordinary catch window is Summer, sunny weather, from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. Rain and nighttime are outside that window, so a river or lake alone is not enough to make the fish appear under normal conditions.
What are the alternatives outside the normal window?
| Route | Availability | Conditions bypassed |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary fishing | Summer; river or Mountain Lake | None: requires sunny weather and 6 a.m.–7 p.m. |
| Trout Derby | Summer 20 and 21, in eligible locations | Time and weather; Rainbow Trout can be caught at any time and in any weather during the event. |
| Magic Bait | Any season, time, or weather | Season, time, and weather restrictions. |
Use the Trout Derby
During the Summer 20–21 event, Rainbow Trout can be caught in Cindersap Forest at any time and in any weather. The special conditions also apply on farm maps that include Cindersap Forest fish: Riverland, Hilltop, Forest, and Meadowlands.

What happens when you raise Rainbow Trout in a Fish Pond?
Rainbow Trout in a Fish Pond reproduce every two days. Orange Rainbow Trout Roe is the pond’s primary output. A Rainbow Shell may also appear once the pond population reaches the required threshold, but this is a chance-based secondary output, not a guaranteed drop.
