 This is the ironman / hardcore ironman Fishing guide, the guide for regular players can be 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.

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

You can find what equipment is needed to catch each fish in the table below.

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!)

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.
