Yes, certain animals only spawn at certain times of the day
Yes it does have daily awards

Optional premium memberships
Their newly added "together" event was failed by the players, which was never mentioned and just hidden away.
Especially if you don't want to spend real money, you'll have to complete events through repetitive tasks in order to get a rare item. You also get trophies based on whether you completed Fishing Tourney events, though those serve no purpose.
Some events that you need to do repetitive tasks to complete have a fortune cookie as their reward, which gives you a random item (the collection of which depends on the cookie, that much you know from its name and appearance.)
I have rare furniture
There's another form of currency needed for fortune cookies (loot boxes) and to craft certain items.
