Fishing: Difference between revisions

Fishing is used to catch fish, special items and 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.

Fish can be [[Cooking|cooked]] for use as [[food]] during [[Combat]] or [[Thieving]].  

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 level 99 will unlock the [[Fishing Skillcape]] for purchase from the [[Shop]]. The [[Fishing Skillcape]] doubles the amount of items caught.  

Using [[Herblore#Skill_Potions|Fisherman's potions]] reduces the chance to catch junk by 3-12%.

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]].

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 [[Strength]] when caught, giving 10, 15, and 25 experience respectively. [[Raw Skeleton Fish]] can be buried for 3 [[Prayer]] points each. [[Raw Magic Fish]] can be eaten to restore health without cooking. [[Leaping Trout]], [[Leaping Salmon]], [[Leaping Broad Fish]], [[Raw Skeleton Fish]], [[Raw Magic Fish]], [[Raw Blowfish]], and [[Raw Poison Fish]] cannot be cooked.
