I've been fishing for hours, where are the Clams & Snails?

You can't catch everything everywhere. Each region has a different set of fish for both freshwater and saltwater. Salmon and Treasure Chests are the only two things you catch in both water types, in any region.

What is the difference between Saltwater and Freshwater?

Freshwater includes lakes, ponds, streams and rivers. Saltwater is the ocean surrounding Aeternum as well as the swamp water in Weaver's Fen and Reekwater. On your map freshwater will be a light blue shade, and saltwater will be greyish tan color.

Ok, but I need to catch Medium Salmon, how?

Region does not influence size, water depth seems to give it a small boost but not enough to depend on it. You will waste your time going after a specific sized common fish, it is a time sink with the odds stacked against you. You should only accept fishing town project missions for specific size fish if you already have the fish.
