'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is used to catch [[Fishing#Fish|fish]], [[Fishing#Special|special items]] and [[Fishing#Junk|junk]] which are deposited in the [[Bank|bank]]. If the [[Bank]] becomes full while Fishing, Fishing will continue but any extra items will be lost.
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is used to catch [[Fishing#Fish|fish]], [[Fishing#Special|special items]], and [[Fishing#Junk|junk]]. Many of the fish may be cooked with {{Skill|Cooking}} for use as [[food]] during {{Icon|Combat}} or {{Skill|Thieving}}, while a number of others can be used as ingredients for {{Skill|Herblore}} potions or {{Skill|Summoning}} tablets.


Most fish can be [[Cooking|cooked]] for use as [[food]] during {{Icon|Combat}} or {{Skill|Thieving}}.  
Of the [[Fishing#Special|special items]] obtained from Fishing, the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} are particularly noteworthy due to the skill and {{Icon|Mastery}} experience bonuses they provide for all non-combat skills. These rings are however also considered some of the rarest items in the game, and can take a significant amount of time to obtain.


At certain levels, upgrades to the fishing pole used are available in the Skill Upgrades section of the [[Shop]]. Upgraded fishing poles reduce the time required to catch fish. Raising Fishing to {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]]. The [[Fishing Skillcape]] doubles the amount of items caught.  
== Mechanics ==
The amount of time each Fishing action takes can be reduced by 5-40% by purchasing [[#Fishing Rods|fishing rods]] from the [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Shop]], 15% with the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}, 5% with the second unique star of {{ConstellationIcon|Ameria}} ({{MasteryReq|Ameria|60|type=constellation}}), 3% with the {{Skill|Agility|Elite Pillar of Experise}}, 2% with {{PetIcon|Harold}}, and 0.5 seconds while the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} + {{ItemIcon|Eagle}} [[Synergy]] is active.


Using {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion IV|notext=true}} [[Fishermans Potion|Fisherman's potions]] increases the chance to catch double fish by 3-12%, which applies multiplicatively with the guaranteed doubling provided by the [[Fishing Skillcape]].
Fishing benefits from a couple of guaranteed item doubling bonuses, one being the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} perk, while the other is obtained by reaching a {{Icon|Mastery}} level of 99 in the fish being caught. While both are active, the quantity of fish caught per action is guaranteed to be at least 4. These bonuses apply multiplicatively with the chance to double items, and so the quantity of fish gained from a single action can be as much as 8.

Fishing

Fishing is used to catch fish, special items, and junk. Many of the fish may be cooked with

for use as food during

Combat

or

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Thieving

, while a number of others can be used as ingredients for

potions or

Summoning

tablets. Of the special items obtained from Fishing, the Ancient Ring of Skills and Ancient Ring of Mastery are particularly noteworthy due to the skill and

Mastery

experience bonuses they provide for all non-combat skills. These rings are however also considered some of the rarest items in the game, and can take a significant amount of time to obtain.

Mechanics

The amount of time each Fishing action takes can be reduced by 5-40% by purchasing fishing rods from the Shop, 15% with the

, 5% with the second unique star of

(

), 3% with the

, 2% with Harold, and 0.5 seconds while the

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

+ Eagle Synergy is active. Fishing benefits from a couple of guaranteed item doubling bonuses, one being the Fishing Skillcape perk, while the other is obtained by reaching a

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Mastery

level of 99 in the fish being caught. While both are active, the quantity of fish caught per action is guaranteed to be at least 4. These bonuses apply multiplicatively with the chance to double items, and so the quantity of fish gained from a single action can be as much as 8.

Fishing Areas

There are 14 Fishing Areas, with different fish located in each Fishing Area. Each area has different chances to obtain junk or special items instead of fish. The chance to obtain special items can be reduced by wearing the Sailor's Top, which can be useful to maximise the amount of fish obtained.

The Barbarian Fishing area is unlocked by wearing the Barbarian Gloves. Catching fish in the Barbarian Fishing Area will give

Strength

and Fishing skill experience. This Strength experience is also affected by the experience bonus from Gold Emerald Ring.

The Secret Area is unlocked by reading the Message in a Bottle in the Bank. After the first reading, the bottle has no further use and can be safely sold.

Both the Message in a Bottle and Barbarian Gloves are special items that can be found while fishing.

Fish

As the player's Fishing level increases, new fish that give more experience will become available to catch. Leaping Trout, Leaping Salmon, and Leaping Broad Fish, will train

when caught, giving 10, 15, and 25 experience respectively. Raw Skeleton Fish can be buried for 3

points each. Raw Magic Fish can be eaten to restore health without cooking. Raw Poison Fish and Raw Ghost Fish are used as an ingredients for the Performance Enhancing Potion and Reaper Potion respectively. Any other fish which cannot be cooked can be used in the creation of either

The later rods also provide a number of other bonuses, as listed in the table below.

Special items can be randomly acquired instead of fish while Fishing. They reward the same amount of XP as the fish that was being caught. Treasure is chosen from the following loot table:

The average value of a roll on the special fishing loot table is 523.69GP

To maximize the chance of obtaining special items, players may:

  • Select fish that are both within an area with a high special chance and have a low catch time - Raw Seahorse and Raw Skeleton Fish are ideal choices
  • Gain a mastery level of at least 50 in the fish being caught, which increases the special chance by 3%
  • Reduce the catch time by using all available interval reductions, which are listed within the Mechanics section
  • Reach the 95% Mastery pool checkpoint
  • Have the
