How To Catch A Tiger Trout In Stardew Valley

Stardew Valley has many rare and common fish to catch. Just like in real life, different fish tend to be more common than the others, varying from season to season too. Like any other fish, Tiger Trout also has a set of environmental and time-sensitive requirements that must be met before you can catch it.

Tiger Trout is one of the rarer fishes that you can catch in Stardew Valley. But, being at the right place at the right time can increase your chances of bagging one. Part of the reason why it’s such a rare fish is that you cannot breed it. Here’s how you can find and catch the Tiger Trout in Stardew Valley.

Where to catch the Tiger Trout?

The Tiger Trout can be caught in Rivers, specifically in Pelican Town or near Cindersap Forest. The fish can only be caught in either the Fall or Winter seasons. While the weather conditions determine certain types of fish, you will be relieved to know that there is no weather requirement, and the fish can be caught in any weather conditions.
