Fishing is a skill which involves catching fish from selected spots around Gielinor. Higher Fishing levels enable different mechanisms of Fishing, the ability to catch a larger selection of fish and increases a player's catch rate. Caught fish may be cooked through the Cooking skill to create food which may be used later to regain hitpoints during combat. Alternatively, many players sell their excess stock of catches for gold.


Fish

When caught, most fish will be raw and cannot be eaten until they are cooked. The name and colour indicates this. For example, when shrimps are first caught they are named "raw shrimps", but once cooked the name changes to "shrimps".

Clue in a bottle

While fishing, players may also occasionally receive clue bottles that contains a clue scroll of the following difficulties: beginner, easy, medium, hard, and elite. Master clue scrolls cannot be obtained from clue bottles.

Fishing methods

Equipment

Players need the right kind of equipment to catch the fish they want. Basic Fishing equipment can be purchased in fishing shops. Players can buy fishing equipment from the fishing store in Port Sarim and from the fishing store in Catherby. More advanced fishing methods may need to be found or crafted.

Fishing shops

Locations of fishing shops where players can buy supplies are:

Nets

File:Small net fishing.png
A player fishing on a fishing spot.

The first few fish players can catch require nets. Players can use small fishing nets and big fishing nets. The big nets only allow players to catch different types of fish and sometimes items, such as caskets. When a player has found a fishing spot, they can then use their net if the option "net fishing spot" is available. "Net fishing spot" can be found in: Draynor Village, Lumbridge Swamp, Musa Point, the coastline near Rimmington, the Wilderness Bandit Camp, Al Kharid, and Corsair Cove. A "cast fishing spot" is available at the park in Civitas illa Fortis. House keys, gems, key halves, and clue bottles, can be obtained from this spot. (Before lv 5 fishing a small fishing net can be used here. After lv 5 it requires a big fishing net.)

Fishing rods and bait

File:Baiting.png
This player is using a fishing rod.

Fishing rods are required for mid level fishing in both rivers and seas. Along with a fishing rod, players also need bait. Bait can be bought in stores (3 coins each at the Port Sarim fishing shop), but is also dropped by some monsters and random events. When a player has found a fishing spot, they can then use their fishing rod if the option "bait fishing spot" is available. For every fish you catch, you lose one piece of bait.

The oily fishing rod is a members only item required to catch infernal eels when used with ice gloves and to catch lava eels for the Heroes' Quest. The pearl variants such as the Pearl fishing rod are cosmetic and not improvements over the basic fishing rod, although they can be equipped which frees up a single inventory slot.

Equipment Level Members

Pearl fishing rod Fishing 5 1

Fly fishing rods and feathers

Fly fishing rods are also required for mid level fishing. These rods can only be used in rivers. Along with a fly fishing rod, players also need feathers. They can be bought from the Shilo Village and Port Sarim fishing shop, but are also dropped by chickens. When a player has found a fishing spot, they can then use their fly fishing rod if the option "lure fishing spot" is available.

Stripy feathers (introduced with the Hunter skill) can be used for fly fishing, as well. Those feathers work the same as normal feathers, but players will only be able to fish rainbow fish, rather than the usual trout and salmon. The Pearl fly fishing rod is cosmetic and not an improvement over the basic fly fishing rod, although it can be equipped which frees up a single inventory slot.

Harpoon

File:Harpooning.png
This player is using a harpoon to fish.

Harpoons are required for mid and high level fish. Harpoons can only be used in the seas. When a player has found a fishing spot, they can then use their harpoon if the option "harpoon fishing spot" is available. Swordfish and tuna are caught in cage/harpoon fishing spots, while sharks are caught in net/harpoon spots.

There are five types of harpoons - the regular harpoon, the barb-tail harpoon, the dragon harpoon, the infernal harpoon, and the crystal harpoon. The dragon harpoon and infernal harpoon both have a 20% faster catch rate than the regular harpoon, and the crystal harpoon has a 35% faster catch rate. The barb-tail harpoon, dragon harpoon, infernal harpoon, and crystal harpoon can all be wielded. Many players prefer these harpoons as it saves an inventory space.

After being taught by Otto Godblessed, a player can catch fish that are harpoonable with just their hands. The fishing level requirement is 20 levels higher and it also requires a Strength level equal to the fishing level needed to catch the fish normally, but a small amount of strength experience is gained and the player doesn't need a harpoon equipped or in their inventory.

Equipment Level Members
Harpoon Fishing 35 0
Barb-tail harpoon Hunter 33 1
Dragon harpoon Fishing 61 1
Infernal harpoon Fishing 75 1
Crystal harpoon Fishing 71 1

Lobster Pots

File:Caging.png
This player is using a lobster pot to catch lobsters.

Lobsters are caught in the sea by using lobster pots. When a player has found a fishing spot, they can then use their lobster pot if the option "cage fishing spot" is available. This is also true for Dark Crabs, with the only exception being Dark Fishing Bait must also be in a player's inventory.

Equipment Level Members
Lobster pot Fishing 40 0

Cormorant's glove

Aerial fishing is a ranged fishing technique at the center of Lake Molch requiring 35 Hunter and 43 Fishing. Players are given a Cormorant's glove for free by talking to Alry the Angler. While equipped the Cormorant eats King worms or Fish chunks (taken from inventory similar to bait) to fly over the lake's surface, collect and return various unique aquatic creatures to the player. Catches include Bluegill, Common tench, Molted eel and Greater siren based on the fishing and hunter levels of the player. A knife can be used on these catches to give Cooking experience and receive fish chunks which makes the process sustainable.

Additional rewards include the Molch pearl currency which can be used to purchase the Pearl fishing rod, Pearl fly fishing rod, Pearl barbarian rod and Fish sack. These are equipable versions of common fishing equipment for additional inventory capacity. Although pearls can also purchase parts of the Angler's outfit It's a much slower method than the recommended Fishing trawler minigame.

Drift Nets

Drift net fishing is a special fishing method that requires 44 Hunter and 47 Fishing accessible after completing Bone Voyage. Unlike fishing from a spot on the surface, this occurs in the Underwater area of Fossil Island where fish shoals are chased into Drift nets set by the player beforehand. Collecting fish shoals from the nets can reward various fish depending on your fishing level including tuna, lobster, swordfish, sharks and at higher levels is one of the few methods to catch sea turtles and manta rays.

Karambwan vessels

Karambwan vessels can be obtained from Lubufu south of Brimhaven once a player has started the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest and they can be bought from Tiadeche's Karambwan Stall in Tai Bwo Wannai once they have completed the quest. Karambwan vessels are loaded with karambwanji, which are caught from the lake that is near Lubufu. Karambwan are caught at the north-east shore north of the Ship Yard.

Barbarian Fishing

Members with level 48 in Fishing can speak with Otto Godblessed in his home near Baxtorian Falls to learn special barbarian methods of fishing.

Bare Handed Fishing

File:Barbarian Fishing (shark).gif
A player catches a shark with barehanded fishing.

The player can learn how to fish tuna, harpoonfish, swordfish, and sharks without a harpoon. Using this method requires a higher Fishing level as well as a Strength level equivalent to the Fishing level needed to catch the fish normally. However, it provides small amounts of Strength experience. At level 55, players can expect rates of 10,000 Fishing experience per hour, steadily increasing to 13,000 experience per hour at level 69. At level 70, catching both tuna and swordfish nets roughly 24,000 Fishing experience per hour.

Heavy Rod Fishing

Heavy rod fishing requires a barbarian rod (found under Otto's bed) and any type of bait (except for stripy/coloured feathers), as well as a knife to gut the fish. In order to catch the special fish in Otto's lake, a Strength and Agility level is needed in addition to the fishing requirement. The leaping fish obtained can be used with a knife to obtain roe and caviar for use in the Herblore skill, and catching them gives small amounts of experience in Strength and Agility. The Pearl barbarian rod is cosmetic and not an improvement over the basic Barbarian rod, although it can be equipped which frees up a single inventory slot.

Angler's Outfit

Obtained through the Fishing trawler minigame and Aerial fishing, pieces of the Angler's outfit grant a bonus to fishing XP gained, increasing to 2.5% with the full outfit.

Fishing spots

Players may fish at various fishing spots located around Gielinor, while fishing, the location of a fishing spot may move from one spot to another within the same area, requiring the player to move in order to continue. The only exceptions to this are select fishing spots located within the wilderness and Karambwan fishing spots.

Net and bait fishing spots

Lure and bait fishing spots

Big net fishing spots

Harpoon & Lobster Pot fishing spots

Other fishing spots

These generally are one specific place for one specific type of fishing.

Fishing Trawler

Fishing Trawler is a Fishing minigame found at Port Khazard. Level 15 Fishing is required to receive fish at the end of the trip. World 370 is the Old School RuneScape designated Fishing Trawler world. It can be overwhelming for a single player, so it is recommended to participate in a group.

Players board Murphy's trawler boat and work as a team to protect the boat from hazards and prevent it from sinking for five minutes as they sail across the oceans. Holes in the ship, flooding, sea monsters and broken netting are all hazards players must overcome to keep afloat. Failing these tasks may shipwreck players and force them to swim back to shore.

If the trawler net is not ripped at the end of the trip, players may receive fish based on their Fishing level. This is one of the few methods in which you are able to catch sea turtles and manta rays. There is a 1/12 chance to receive a piece of the Angler's outfit after a successful trip. This outfit increases Fishing experience gain and allows access to special fishing areas.

Tempoross

Tempoross is a Fishing-based skilling boss found at the Ruins of Unkah. Players need at least level 35 Fishing to participate. World 341, 422, 463 and 531 are the Old School RuneScape designated Tempoross worlds.

Players board the boat on the dock and sail to Tempoross Cove to help the Spirit Anglers subdue Tempoross. As a skilling boss, players use Fishing to catch harpoonfish as ammunition, firing them out of cannons to weaken Tempoross while avoiding various special attacks. When Tempoross is weak enough it'll submerge and can be damaged directly by harpooning the pools near him. Players must be careful not to let Tempoross get too enraged as it'll wash them off the island.

Defeating Tempoross will grant Fishing experience and reward permits based on participation. These permits allow you to fish at the reward pool for a chance at many unique or high quality fishing items in addition to fish based on your Fishing level. This is one of the few methods to gather sea turtles and manta rays. Other rewards include the coveted fish barrel, the tackle box or the components to upgrade the Angler's outfit into the Spirit angler's outfit.

  • A tiny tempor may be obtained by fishing it from the reward pool outside the Ruins of Unkah after defeating the Tempoross.
