It appears that just about every game now includes fishing, and Monster Hunter Worlds is no different. While fishing might not play a crucial role in your Monster Hunter adventure, having it as a skill at your disposal can certainly prove useful.

First, let’s discuss the various fishing spots and how to locate them. Later on, I’ll explain some perks associated with these locations.

As a dedicated gamer and fishing enthusiast in the game, it’s crucial to know that certain maps hold more or unique fish species. This guide aims to equip you with all the essential details needed to become the seasoned angler you were destined to be, ensuring you never miss a catch!

Fishing Spots

In this game, you have the freedom to fish in any puddle that catches your eye, but locating the optimal spots within each region is crucial if you aim to catch specific types of fish. Rest assured, every location within the game offers at least one fishing spot, ensuring you can always take a cast wherever you find yourself.

If you can approach near enough, you could use a capture net to gather some fish. If you find this method appealing, take a look at some of the shallower areas where you might spot fish swimming.

In any body of water where there’s potential for a catch, feel free to fish. If you notice fish swimming below the surface, it’s a good spot to drop your fishing line.

Windward Plains

You’ll find many common varieties of fish in this area. If you’re not particular about what you catch, it might seem that there aren’t many diverse spots for fishing. However, if you have a specific type of fish in mind, you may find your preferred spot here.

Iceshard Cliffs

The majority of the fishes found here provide you with a marketable product, making them useful if you’re in-between hunting expeditions and require some income. All the fish seem to be concentrated in a single location for your convenience.

Ruins of Wyveria

​​​​​​​

Essentially, both locations share a similar layout and are situated near camps, providing identical fishing opportunities. However, the decision between them comes down to personal preference. The Gap in Rubble grants additional access to larger creatures once you’ve finished fishing.

Rewards

Though the fish in Monster Hunter Wilds may not boast numerous rewards, the benefits they provide are certainly worthwhile. You can gather useful crafting materials, provisions for meals, and accumulate Guild Points from them.

Catching fish isn’t too challenging generally, but based on their size, they can offer a stronger resistance when reeled in. Moreover, the size of the fish impacts the amount of reward you get from it.

For any enthusiastic explorers, here are three accomplishments up for grabs: One for experiencing your initial angling adventure, another for successfully capturing a colossal squid, and the last for reeling in a total of 30 impressive catches!

(Note: “Whoppers” is informal slang referring to large fish.)

Items

Certain fish might shed scales, which could be utilized for crafting purposes, or they might drop an item that speeds up the process of sharpening weapons more quickly.

Occasionally stopping by fishing spots may help ensure a good supply of necessary items. If luck is on your side during an adventure, you can pick up items that could prove useful in future battles, such as resources for reducing blood loss during a battle with Guardian Ebony Odogaron.

If you seek details about particular items, I recommend checking out this helpful resource below. It offers an extensive list of various drops from diverse aquatic creatures found in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Hunting down the Gastronome Tuna will be the best source of items since it has so many on offer.

Rations

In Monster Hunter games, food plays a crucial role, but in Wilds, it takes on even greater significance. One of the best ways to obtain essential ingredients for cooking is by catching fish, as they make for an easy and abundant source. These ingredients serve as the foundation for all meals prepared using your Portable BBQ Grill.

Abundant catch of fish for cooking can aid in maintaining your defenses during gameplay, such as in Monster Hunter. This slight advantage might just save you from being defeated at the final moments of a hunt.

Guild Points

As a gamer, I often find myself amassing guild points during my gaming sessions, which might seem insignificant to some as the numbers pile up. However, I’ve learned that having more is always advantageous!

Accumulating various items like Pop-up Camps can prove beneficial, as each fish you catch is sure to earn you at least five guild points. However, some less common or bigger fish could potentially fetch significantly higher values.

While Monster Hunter might not initially seem captivating due to its hunting aspect, it’s worth giving fishing a shot as part of the experience. Occasionally step away from battling extinction, and appreciate the grandeur that this game offers at its core.

Instead of constantly searching for new gloves, it’s quite pleasant to spend a leisurely time relaxing and fishing – it’s also beneficial since fish can serve as a satisfying bite to eat during your hunting breaks. It’s always wise to never hunt on an empty stomach!
