It is least common during rainy winter days (only possible by using a Rain Totem) and most common on rainy summer days, comprising from 11% to 16% of all items caught. It is most likely to be caught when casting farther from shore.[1]
Sturgeon may also randomly appear in Krobus' shop on Wednesdays.
