Generally, you should train on the highest level fish you have unlocked, or follow the list below. This list takes junk into account for the fastest leveling.

The {{PetIcon|Pudding Duckie}} pet provides an additional 5% chance to double items in fishing.


== Training ==
=== Junk ===
In general, it is recommended to always fish the highest level fish that your level currently allow. Selling the fish should result in enough gold to upgrade to the best available [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] in the [[Shop]].


It should be noted that the fishes that can not be cooked are generally worse in both terms of xp/hr or gp/hr.
Changing fishing targets too often has one downside - Junk. It provides 1 XP when received, greatly reducing your overall XP and GP rates.  


1-5 {{ItemIcon|Raw Shrimp}}<br>
Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (10-29%, depending on location) while fishing until they achieve the 25% {{Icon|Mastery}}[[Fishing#Mastery_Pool_Checkpoints|Mastery Pool Checkpoint]] or when the {{Icon|Mastery}} level for an individual fish reaches 65.

75-85 {{ItemIcon|Raw Cave Fish}}<br>
85-95 {{ItemIcon|Raw Manta Ray}}<br>
95-99 {{ItemIcon|Raw Whale}}<br>


=== Junk ===
Therefore, it is reasonable to spend your [[Mastery#The_Mastery_Pool|Mastery Pool]] on getting {{ItemIcon|Fanfish}},  {{ItemIcon|Raw Cave Fish}}, {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|Manta Rays}}, and {{ItemIcon|Whale|Whales}} to level 65 in order to remove the chance of Junk, which will boost your speed of progress.
 
=== Additional Information ===
 
The single most efficient item to obtain for training fishing is the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}, then [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] upgrades in the Shop, then {{ItemIcon|Pirates Lost Ring}}. The {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} is obtained by opening {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests}}.
 
There is a small chance to acquire the {{ItemIcon|Message in a Bottle}}. It will unlock the [[Fishing#Area|Secret Area]] that gives no Junk and has a higher chance of special items. This area has {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}}, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}}.


Changing fishing targets too often has one downside, and that is Junk. Junk provides 1 xp when received, greatly reducing both xp/hr and gp/hr received while fishing. Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (10-29%, depending on location) while fishing until their total mastery progression is at 25% (2,875,000 Mastery Experience) or when the mastery level for an individual fish reaches 65. <br>
Fishing for {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}} is used to get special items at the fastest possible rate, and are surprisingly efficient Cooking materials. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is a decent way to get {{Skill|Prayer}} points. {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} is a decent way to make GP and food '''without''' {{Skill|Cooking}}. Getting to level 99 before fishing any of these fish - especially {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} - is strongly recommended as they all have poor xp rates, and the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} doubles all fish you catch.
For fishing a player may want to fish for long periods of time, like {{ItemIcon|Fanfish|Fanfish}}, {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|Manta Rays}} or {{ItemIcon|Whale|Whales}}, it is valuable for the player to spend experience from their mastery pool to level the fish to 65, in order to remove the chance of receiving Junk.
<br>


The single most efficient item to obtain for training fishing is the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}. Action time reduction vastly outweighs experience bonuses when training for long periods of time. <br>
Another hidden area is unlocked with the {{ItemIcon|Barbarian Gloves}}, this area has {{ItemIcon|Leaping Trout}}, {{ItemIcon|Leaping Salmon}}, and {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}}. While these have no direct benefits to Fishing, they provide {{Skill|Strength}} xp. Generally only {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}} are worth the effort, although this is a minor benefit at best, and is no longer efficient beyond roughly {{SkillReq|Strength|40}}.
Followed by [[Message in a Bottle]], look below for more information.
=== Supplemental Information ===


As provided in the [[Fishing#Special|Fishing Special]] table, there is a 0.15% chance when receiving a special item to receive the [[Message in a Bottle]]. This will unlock the [[Fishing#Area|Secret Area]].
==Boosters==
In this area, there are three fish: The {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}}, at 15 fishing, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} at 45 fishing, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} at 80 fishing.<br>
===XP===
But most importantly, each fish has a higher (+5%) of receiving special items while fishing along with 0% junk rates. Additionally, an increase in gp/h and xp/h with respect to their level requirement. <br>
{{ModifierTable|increasedGlobalSkillXP,increasedNonCombatSkillXP,increasedSkillXP|XP Boost|false|filters=skill:Fishing}}
It is recommended that the player fish {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} in this area. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is one of the best source of prayer points in the game. Spending time fishing for {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is the most likely method of obtaining rare special items, like the rings or amulet mentioned above.
<br>


It is valuable for the player to spend experience from their mastery pool to level the fish to 50, in order to further increase the likelihood of catching special items. While also trying to maintain their mastery pool checkpoint.

Therefore, it is reasonable to spend your Mastery Pool on getting Fanfish, Raw Cave Fish, Manta Rays, and Whales to level 65 in order to remove the chance of Junk, which will boost your speed of progress.

There is a small chance to acquire the Message in a Bottle. It will unlock the Secret Area that gives no Junk and has a higher chance of special items. This area has Raw Seahorse, Raw Skeleton Fish, and Raw Magic Fish.

Fishing for Raw Seahorse is used to get special items at the fastest possible rate, and are surprisingly efficient Cooking materials. Raw Skeleton Fish is a decent way to get
