Can't Find a Trilobite

[Odorio]

This seems silly considering it's a low contribution point fish and I hypothetically have spent a ton of time in the spaces it should show up in.

I'm getting mixed messages from guides. Where is trilobite found, what season, what weather, and what equipment? I've been fishing in the forest lake (by the cave entrance) and the beach in Fall with both handaxe and harpoon during non-rainy weather and haven't seen it. One of the last fish I need!

I caught one quite by surprise earlier today on something like the 10th or 11th of the first Spring.

I was down at the southern beach where the first people -- the Yaku-somethings? -- live/are from. It was mid-day and I only had the hand-axe.

I wish I could help more than that, but these rare-ish fish spawns seem to be pretty random.

Thank you! That is still a lot of help because I can try emulating it in my next spring.

It's a beach fish. I know the wiki mentions the forest lake but I'm pretty sure that's not accurate. I'm also somewhat confident that you can catch it in more than just Spring, might be spring/summer, but I don't 100% remember. I've caught it with a harpoon so I don't think tool matters.

I've only ever seen it at the Beach, in Summer and Fall when it's daytime and raining. I catch them with the Harpoon.

I just caught it on the beach with a harpoon, Winter 7 10:35 am. I think its a year-round fish

It was a 4 bar fish for me

Yes! Thank you for this info, I'll keep an eye out for four bar fish

Thank you everyone! Just caught one Fall mid-day with harpoon at the beach during sunny weather. Kalech is spot-on that it is a four-bar fish for the harpoon.
