The Large Pearl Mussel becomes available when you reach Fishing Level 6. As such, it can only be caught by more experienced players who have spent some time improving their skills. The Large Pearl Mussel can be caught all day, but it only appears during Rainbow weather, so make sure to check the in-game weather system before heading out.
