Players will find that the Nibble will spawn in rivers, so those interested in obtaining this aquatic creature will need to visit the rivers on their island or someone else’s island. However, players can not find these creatures in rivers at any time of the year. The Nibble Fish will spawn in rivers between the months of May and September in the Northern Hemisphere. Animal Crossing: New Horizons players in the Southern Hemisphere will be able to encounter and catch the Nibble Fish in January, February, March, November, and December. 

It is also important to note that this creature will not spawn at any time of the day. Players have the ability to encounter and catch the Nibble Fish between 9 AM and 4 PM. This spawning schedule means that players will have to set aside some dedicated time between 9 AM and 4 PM if they want to have a chance at catching one of these critters in a river.
