How to Fish Game Fish List
A release-build How to Fish fish list grouped by lure tier, plus the separate quest baits used for story bosses.
Reported
The practical fish list is best grouped by lure: use the Crab Fishing Rod for early shellfish, then move through Beginner, Standard, Professional, and Scientific lures as the island route advances.
Species by lure
| Lure | Reported catches |
|---|---|
| Free / basic | Rock Crab, Shrimp, Mackerel, Gar, Pike, Goldfish |
| Hot Dog | Rock Crab, Lobster, Piranha |
| Beginner | Pike, Goldfish, Cod, Perch, Triggerfish |
| Standard | Angelfish, Boxfish, Catfish, Sea Urchin, Seahorse, Clownfish, Bluegill, Salmon, Needlefish |
| Professional | Parrotfish, Voxelfish, Bass, Halibut, Eel, Tigerfish, Flying Fish, Sengarat, Red Snapper |
| Scientific | Anglerfish, Blobfish, Oarfish, Superdwarf Fish, Stonefish |
This table follows the independent release-build list. If a catch never appears, verify both the rod and exact lure before assuming the location is wrong.
Story and boss bait
Bosses do not follow the ordinary pool. Empty Beer Can summons Spider Crab, Modified Leech summons Giant Piranha, and Carrot summons Pufferfish. Later boss lures and quest items continue the same pattern. Rare Drip variants are cosmetic variants of ordinary catches and can be spent at the Reel of Fortune.
The roster is Reported because Steam describes fish varieties and rare variants but does not publish a complete species table. Future content may change the list.
