The Catfish is a fish that can be found in the river (in Pelican Town or Cindersap Forest) and the Secret Woods during the Spring and Fall during rainy weather. It can also be caught in Winter if a Rain Totem is used.
In the Summer, it can be found in the Secret Woods or Witch's Swamp. It can also be found in the Witch's Swamp during the Spring. While searching through Garbage Cans in the Spring or Fall, it will drop occasionally.
The Catfish can be caught on the Riverlands Farm or Hill-top Farm during rainy weather as well.

History
- 1.4: Removed from garbage cans and most quests in Winter. Added iridium quality. Can now be used in Tailoring.
- 1.4.4: Fixed a mistake in the game data that prevented catfish-specific fish pond data from being applied (in earlier versions, catfish used the same fish pond data as all generic river fish).
