Fishing Overview
Fishing in Fields of Mistria uses a rod-based system where better rods unlock deeper water access and rarer fish. Fish are seasonal and weather-dependent, and many are needed for museum donations.
Rod Progression

Static Database
Verified Fish Index Samples
These rows are verified as fish pages in Wiki.gg Category:Fish. Season, weather, time, location, and size should be added only from each fish page or in-game capture notes.

Data Model
Fish Table Fields To Add Safely
| Field | Why it matters | Verification rule |
|---|---|---|
| Fish name | Main searchable entity | Use Wiki.gg fish page title |
| Season | Determines when players can catch it | Use fish page or in-game screenshot |
| Weather / time | Avoids misleading spawn advice | Do not infer from similar fish |
| Water type / location | Turns the page into a real route guide | Verify per fish |
| Museum needed? | Supports completion planning | Check museum collection source |
Seasonal Tips
- Spring: Shallow water fish — good for early museum donations.
- Summer: Deep water opens up — target rarer catches.
- Fall: Weather-dependent fish appear more frequently.
- Winter: Unique winter species available.
- Legendary fish require specific weather, time of day, and the highest-tier rod.
