This is the Regular Fishing Guide, the guide for Ironman/ Hardcore Ironman players is found Here.

Fishing is a skill which involves catching fish from selected spots around Grinderscape. Higher Fishing levels allow for better fish to be caught and also increases a player's catch rate. The fish that you catch may be cooked using the Cooking skill to create food which may be used later to regain hitpoints during combat. Fishing is also a good way to make money, as players often want to buy the raw fish to train their cooking levels.

Getting Fishing Supplies

Each fish requires a specific set of equipment in order to be caught. There are three fishermen in Grinderscape, one in Catherby another one in Karamja, and the last is in the Donator Zone. These Fishermen sell the equipment used for fishing

Fishing Areas

There are currently four areas to train up fishing: Catherby, Karamja, Bandit Camp, and Donator Zone.

Catherby

To get to Catherby, go to the Skill Training Teleports choose Catherby.

The image below shows the map and what you can fish in Catherby.

Karamja

To get to Karamja, go to the Skill Training Teleports and teleport to Karamja.

The image below shows the map and what you can fish in Karamja.

Bandit Camp

There is only one fish that can be caught in the Bandit Camp, and that is the Raw Karambwan which gives the most Fishing experience out of all the options. However, The Bandit Camp is located in the Wilderness so it is very dangerous to fish here as you might get killed by another player.

To get to the Bandit Camp, go to the Player Killing Teleports and teleport to Bandit Camp.

Donator Zone

This area is for Donators only and only 2 types of fish can be caught here. They are Sharks and Manta rays, both of these fish give very good experience.

You can get to the Donator Zone by using the "Donator Zone" teleport which is found in the Donator section of the Quest Tab. When you arrive from your teleport, simply run north and you will see a fishing spot in the river.

1-99 Walkthrough

This is the suggested method for 1-99 Fishing:

Fish	Name	Levels	Amount needed
	Shrimps & Anchovies	1-20	44
	Trout & Salmon	20-35	12-14
	Tuna	35-40	6
	Lobster	40-50	182
	Swordfish	50-76	157
	Shark	76-85	240
	Manta ray	85-99	631

All though Karambwans give more experience than all other fish, they can only be fished in the wilderness which makes acquiring them very difficult. However, you will only need to fish around 612 of them to get from level 65-99.
