How To Catch Walleye In Stardew Valley

It's important to note that Walleye will only spawn during the Fall, and only when it's raining. You'll also need to be out fishing during the specific hours of 12 pm - 2 am. (To learn how to check the time, date, and season in Stardew Valley, check out our helpful article on the topic.)

To find some Walleye, you'll need to fish in the river - either in Pelican Town, or Cindersap Forest - the mountain lake, or the Cindersap Forest pond. You can also catch Walleye in your farm pond if you have a Riverland Farm or Forest Farm. However, your best bet is at the Cindersap Forest pond, where you have a 32% chance of getting a Walleye if you're there in the right season and at the right time.

From there, just toss your lure into the water and wait for a bite. The method for catching Walleye is the same as how to catch Catfish, how to catch Eel, and all other fish; once you get it on your line, reel it on in!

Note: If you use Magic Bait, you'll be able to catch a Walleye - and any other fish - regardless of the season, time, and weather. Try using Magic Bait if Walleye are out of season, or the weather isn't rainy; you can try your hand at getting the fish this way.
