Use shadow size before stamina
Shadow size is the fastest filter once you are fishing in the correct season, water, and weather. If the shadow is clearly wrong for the Legendary Fish you want, move on instead of spending stamina on every bite.
Unlock the Legendary fishing skill
Legendary Fish require the Legendary fishing skill to be unlocked. Get that progression first, then check the table before planning the trip.
A practical search loop
Check the target's season and water, confirm the weather, then watch shadow size. Fish at any time of day, since time is not listed as a gate for these four catches.
Tip
Ignore clearly wrong shadow sizes instead of spending stamina on every bite.
Note
Use Wind for Cherry Fish and Leaf Fish, Storm or Thunderstorm for Lightning Fish, and Blizzard for Snow Fish.
