Fish Locations & Rare Creatures
A field index of the strangest creatures in How to Fish. We don't have a complete Fishipedia yet, but here are the verified notable catches.
Piranhas & Flying Fish
Locations: Island 2 and beyond.
These aren't your normal fish. Piranhas will jump out of the water to attack you. Flying Fish will literally launch themselves into the sky. You can actually shoot them mid-air for a Trick Shot multiplier!
Rare "Drip" Variants
Sometimes you'll catch a fish wearing sunglasses or neon colors. These are "Drip" variants. For example, catching a Drippy Urchin (it's pink!) will unlock the "Drip" achievement.
Endangered Fish
Location: Island 3.
Keep an eye out for unique endangered species. You shouldn't sell these—hand them over to the Island 3 NPC to trade for the essential Carrot Bait.
