This particular kind of aquatic creature will be available for players to catch between December and March in the North hemisphere and between June and September in the South hemisphere for the timeline of your title. They also are possible between the times of 4 PM and 9 AM, which means that players only have a limited period to get their hands on a Stringfish. This creature also can only be found in bodies of water resting on cliffsides, so you will need to acquire a ladder to make your way to these locations where they can be found during their spawn schedule.
