In the Summer, it can be found in the Secret Woods or Witch's Swamp. It can also be found in Garbage Cans in Spring or Fall.
The Catfish can be caught on the Riverlands Farm or Hill-top Farm during rainy weather as well.

Bugs
- Catfish may be requested by Willy in a Fishing Help Wanted quest during Winter.
- The game data includes specifications for a catfish-specific fish pond, with customized quest items. However, a mistake prevents the catfish-specific fish pond data from being used; instead, catfish use the same fish pond data as all generic river fish.
History
- 1.4: Removed from garbage cans and most quests in Winter. Added iridium quality. Can now be used in Tailoring.
