Where do clifftop fish actually spawn in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?
Near a waterfall? In a pond? This video clearly explains the common points of confusion and helps you understand why Stringfish, Golden Trout, and Char may not be spawning.

Not every body of water on a cliff works.
These rare fish only spawn in a clifftop river.
Ponds do not work, and a waterfall is not required.

If you’ve been struggling to catch clifftop fish, this video covers the location check, unlock requirements, season, and time windows in a simple way.
