What are the actual zone names for fishing locations...

[Black Jesus]

The wiki has a beautiful infograph but it's useless for me as a new player cause it refers to Mountain, Ocean, Lake, etc. And I'm not quite sure which zone each of those locations are supposed to be.

Obviously the beach is the ocean.
The waters close to the mountain is the, well' yknow.
Lake/river is self-explanatory.

[I Kinda Fail]

Aside from rare fish like the woodskip or scorpion carp, I'm pretty sure there's only 3-4 fishing locations.

River: Anywhere in town or the forest.
Lake: The huge lake northeast of Robin's house. I'm not sure if the smaller lake in Cindersap (the one with the dock) counts, but I think not.
Beach: Self explanatory.
Caves: There's 3 fishing spots in the cave, but it's mainly trash there.

Thanks for the link. I came across this thread because of the same issue as OP.

I do wonder, though, where the "mountain lake" becomes the "river." I was fishing south of the lake, but didn't get anything that's not on both lists - meaning I couldn't distinguish between the two locatiosn based on catches.

I thought fishing locations were by map, not a specific area of a map. I could be wrong though.
