This is an attempt to try to bring information on fishing in Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns into one place. Lots of fishy research has been done, and ALL of the fish have been accounted for! Any fish is open to additions and corrections (particularly season information needs to be confirmed).
How to Use this Guide
Spoiler:
Seasons
The seasons in bold are the seasons you can find the particular fish in, so a fish with seasons listed like this: Spring Summer Fall Winter are only catch-able in the Fall.
Location
We've taken the liberty of giving specific, more descriptive names to the locations. In this key I'll list what section of the mountain the fishing spot is located.
Simply how you can catch the fish. There's three methods: hand fishing, fishing rod, and master rod. Just as a note, any fish that can be caught with a fishing rod can also be caught with a master rod, but there are specific fish which can only be caught with a master rod.
Conditions
This is where we'll list certain conditions that allow you to catch that certain fish, mostly entailing weather or time of day. If it says none, the fish can be caught under most all circumstances. As far as I can tell for time of day, there are only night specific fish, and most all fish that can be caught in the day can also be caught at night. I never saw any difference between morning/afternoon either.
What Needs Contributions?
All fish (and non-fish items) are open for corrections and additions. The categories I have listed are what I think are most important, but if you want to provide other information such as size range and sale price, we can keep it for future use.

How can I Help?
Spoiler:
If you'd like to contribute, we're more than happy to accept your input whether you've been playing for years or this is the first Harvest Moon you've ever touched in your life. The more information you can give us, the better.
One way you can help is by documenting your fishing trips in the following format:
Day: (Spring 20, Fall 1, Winter 7, etc.)
Time: (The general time range you were fishing)
Weather: (Sunny, Rainy, Snowy, Typhoon, or Blizzard. If the weather changed at 1PM, please make note of it)
Rod: (Hand Fishing, Fishing Rod, or Master Rod)
Place: (Refer to the location key in the How to Use this Guide section)
Fish: (What fish you caught, and how many)
Remember that at 6PM the day changes to night, and since many fish are only available at night, it would be good to keep track of what fish you caught before and after 6PM.
Another way you can help is by going into your game and looking at the list of fish in the "Info" section (it's right next to the Requests page). Most of the fish descriptions say which seasons they can be caught in, and a select few hint towards their location and the weather they're found in, so even if you can't remember where/when you caught a certain fish, you can always look to the in-game description for clues.
