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 Etherum. 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 Etherum, 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 5 areas to train up fishing: Draynor, Catherby, Karamja, Bandit Camp, and Donator Zone. (Credits to 'Valar' for the locations!)

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

Catherby

Karamja

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

Bandit Camp

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.

This is what you can fish at Bandit camp:

Donator Zone

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
	Shrimps	1-20
	Trout	20-35
	Tuna	35-40
	Lobster	40-50
	Swordfish	50-76
	Shark	76-85
	Manta ray	85-99

All though Karambwans give more experience than all other fish, they can only be fished in the wilderness which makes acquiring them very difficult.
