Every month AC:NH players will have to say goodbye to a few critters for a while. This series of articles is for those of you looking to fill your Critterpedia, complete your Museum’s collection, or to collect all the models that Flick can make.
Those in the Southern Hemisphere should catch a Pike, or else you’d have to wait a while for them to come back. For the full list of fish and bugs leaving after June, read on below.

Fish Size Comparison
There are nine (the fin type has two sizes) types of fish shadows which can help in determining what fish you’re getting before you catch it. The order is, from left to right, sizes 1 to 6, an eel, and a fin. Eel shadows are long and narrow. Fin shadows have a noticeable fin.
