Fishing Locations

The following charts contain lists of commonly caught fish in the waters of each zone. For information on where specific pools of fish spawn use the Fishing pool pages. Information regarding the catch areas of individual types of fish can be found on that fish's page in the source section.

These tables can be sorted easily by zone name or skill level needed. The Minimum skill level is the level needed to cast your line in that zone. It can be any combination of Fishing equipment, Lure and player skill. The 100% catch skill level is the skill level at which every catch will result in a catch and the error "Your Fish got Away" will no longer be triggered.
