You have selected a common fish! You can only find common fish in open water and one star hotspots. View the Fish Locations list to see all regions this fish can be found in outside of hotspots.
You have selected an uncommon fish! Your best bet is Rare (2-star) or Broad (1-star) Hotspots. You might still occasionaly find them in Secret (3-star) Hotspots.
You have selected a rare fish! Your best bet is Secret (3-star) or Rare (2-star) Hotspots. You might still occasionaly find them in Broad (1-star) Hotspots.
You have selected a legendary fish! You can catch these in both water types, and each region has a unique one. All hotspots have a good chance, but Secret (3-star) and Rare (2-star) Hotspots are your best options. You can also catch these outside of hotspots, just like everything else.
Treasure chests can be found in any region, in any water type, in hotspots, and out. The best place to fish them up is in Secret Hotspots. Rare Hotspots are your second best option.
