Fish are the big money makers in Animal Crossing this month.

Those looking to pay off their debts to Tom Nook should consider fishing this month. Given the incredible surplus of these creatures arriving your island, there are more options then ever reel in a big catch. And in terms of Bells, they sell for some of the highest amounts.

While each month brings new additions, it also means some of those creatures will stop being available at the end of the season. The bugs and fish leaving at the end of June are: Common Butterfly, Yellow Butterfly, Peacock Butterfly, Firefly, Ladybug, Violin Beetle, Pill Bug, Centipede, Cherry Salmon, and Char.
