Quick Links
Many fans ofStardew Valleyenjoy the game for itssimple yet enjoyable farming, fishing, and more. This means collecting all the different types of crops and fish is a priority for many players who are looking to complete their whole collection in the game.
Most Stardew Valley fish cannot be found in just any spot or at any time during the year. Each fish has different requirements that need to be met to find them, and some can take a lot of time and effort before you reel them in. Chubs are one of the more common fish in the game, but you’ll still need to follow a few guidelines to be able to catch one.
Where to Find Chubs in Stardew Valley
Chubare not a particularly uncommon fish, nor are they that difficult to catch. However, you cannot find one just by going to any river or beach. Instead, you will need tovisit one of these two locations:
The Mountain Lake is in the northeast region of Pelican Town,directly to the right ofthe Carpenter’s Shop. It’s a large,diamond-shaped lakethat has small bridges crossing through it. If you fish here during any season, at any time of the day, you’re bound to pick up a Chub at some point. You won’t need to use bait, but you can if you prefer. Standard Bait decreases the time needed to wait for a bite.
As for the Cindersap Forest River, you can find it in thesouthwest portion of Pelican Town,just south of the player’s farm. There will be a river running through the forest, which you can fish in to get a Chub. You can use the above images as a reference to its location.
While Chub are river fish, they won’t spawn in the town’s portion of the river. They only spawn in the river in the forest.

Since Chubs are pretty common, it’s a good option to use them in some of your recipes that ask for any type of fish, as they’re much more common and less profitable than other species. Be sure to save one for theField Research Bundleto get a Recycling Machine in return. If you need to make a bit of cash, though, it’s also a good idea to sell it.
When placed in a Fish Pond, Chubs can produce Chub Roe. They won’t produce any other items.
