He began writing short stories (says Wikipedia) while at university studying to become a doctor, so some time in his university career from 1876 and 1881. We know his first short story appeared before he was 20, so that narrows it down to between September of 1876 and May of 1879.

According to this biography at the link below, he attended university with a number of people who would become famous authors, and "a couple of years" into his studies he wrote a short story. His first short story sold (don't expect that if you write), so the story mentioned in Wikipedia was his first. Because they also give the date of his first publication--1879--and Wikipedia says it was published before his birthday, he probably began writing fiction in 1878.
He was bored of waiting for his medical patients to come. He was 20 when the first of his stories was published, 'The Mystery of Sassasa Valley (1879).
