Equipment[edit | edit source]

Fishing uses two types of items, divided into consumables and equipment. Consumables are used up at the rate of one item for each fish caught and are stackable, while the equipment is non-stackable and reusable.

You can also do Fishing Trawler minigame to get a set of Angler's outfit for an additional 2.5% more fishing experience gained per fish caught. But be warned that you may take many hours before getting the outfit.

Furthermore, for those players who are wanting to earn some money while fishing, you may want to acquire the Rada's blessing from the Kourend & Kebos diary. The easy, medium, hard, and elite diaries all give a 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% chance (respectively) of catching two fish at once. However, the player will not receive any experience from the extra fish that is caught. The blessing must be equipped while fishing for this to take effect.

The fish barrel stores up to 28 raw fish, making time between trips to the bank longer. The barrel can be obtained from the reward pool after fighting the Tempoross.

Fastest experience[edit | edit source]

Levels 1–24/33: Questing[edit | edit source]

Early levels can be skipped by completing quests that give Fishing experience. Completing Sea Slug, Fishing Contest, and the Freeing Pirate Pete quest of Recipe for Disaster will grant a total of 10,612 experience, which will get the player up to level 27. All of these quests have few requirements and can be done at a low level, and completing them is a much better route for early Fishing levels than catching fish. Notably, the experience reward from Sea Slug is enough to get the player from level 1 to 24, and it is faster to complete the quest than catch low-level fish.

Completing Tai Bwo Wannai Trio and The Fremennik Trials will grant an additional 7,812 experience, which will get the player up to level 33, but they have higher requirements.

Levels 20–47/58: Fly fishing[edit | edit source]

Main articles: Raw trout and Raw salmon

3-tick fly fishing trout and salmon offers the fastest Fishing experience up to level 58 when using tick manipulation. Players will need a fly fishing rod and feathers to catch the fish. 3-tick fishing is done by using a herb on swamp tar (or other suitable items) and clicking on the fishing spot. When timed correctly, the player has a chance of receiving fish every three ticks instead of five. Drop the fish in between catches before clicking on the fishing spot.

Without tick manipulation this method is only recommended as a low-effort alternative past level 35, as Tempoross offers faster experience. At level 47, drift net fishing becomes better than 3-tick fly fishing if the player also needs to train Hunter.

Recommended fly fishing locations where the fishing spots have minimal movement or are useful otherwise:

The experience rates shown in the table below assume not wearing the angler's outfit. The AFK rates include the time spent dropping the fish, and the actual rates vary depending on how fast the fish are dropped. Using the spots south-east of Prifddinas will result in about 10% faster experience per hour.

Levels 47–99: Drift net fishing[edit | edit source]

Main article: Drift net fishing

Drift net fishing is the most efficient way to train both Fishing and Hunter at the same time. However, it is not the fastest way to train Fishing on its own due to the split rates. The method offers higher Hunter experience rates than Fishing, so once Hunter no longer needs to be trained, switch to a method that offers faster Fishing experience.

Drift net fishing requires level 47 Fishing and level 44 Hunter (both unboostable), and completion of Bone Voyage to access Fossil Island underwater. For optimal rates, players will also need to wear a fishbowl helmet and a diving apparatus obtained from the Pirate Pete subquest of Recipe for Disaster, as well as flippers obtained from mogres. Wearing a merfolk trident, a trident of the seas, a trident of the swamp, or a dragon harpoon will increase the chance of successfully chasing the fish shoal into the nets. In addition, stamina potions (or some other form of run energy restoration) are needed for the fastest rates.

To do this method, speak to Ceto to enter the fishing area located in the northern part of the Fossil Island underwater. This costs 200 numulites per day, or 20,000 numulites for permanent access. Set up drift nets on the drift net anchors and click the fish shoals once to chase them into the nets. Prioritise fish shoals nearer to the drift nets. The nets will become full after 10 fish shoals caught, after which the player will need to set the drift nets up again. Players can store up to 2,000 drift nets at Annette by bringing her the nets in banknotes.

Players can optionally bank the fish caught for 5 numulites per full net. This will lower experience rates slightly, but will also offset the money spent on drift nets. The quality of fish obtained scales with the Fishing level, with raw lobsters starting to be caught at level 50.

The experience rates in the table below assume 1,150 fish shoal caught per hour. The experience per fish shoal scales until level 70 Fishing and Hunter, where 77 Fishing experience and 101.5 Hunter experience are gained per fish shoal. Expect slightly lower rates if banking the fish. With good practice, it is possible to catch up to 1,200–1,250 fish shoal per hour. Buying the drift nets on the Grand Exchange would cost 350,750 coins per hour.

From level 44 to 99 Hunter, the player will gain 9,842,153 Fishing experience if starting at level 47 Fishing. This would require 12,944 drift nets, which would cost −39,479,200.

Levels 58–71/99: Barbarian Fishing[edit | edit source]

Main article: Barbarian Fishing

Pay-to-play Fishing training (21)

3-tick Barbarian Fishing becomes one of the fastest training methods at level 58. This method offers small amounts of passive Agility and Strength experience, which makes it an efficient way to train Fishing for players with low Agility and Strength levels.

Even though Barbarian Fishing becomes available at level 48, it is faster to do drift net fishing or 3-tick fly fishing until level 58, after which the player can catch leaping salmon. Without tick manipulation Barbarian Fishing is only recommended as a low-effort alternative that offers decent experience rates.

Players must complete a portion of Barbarian Training to be able to catch leaping fish. Having level 30 Agility and Strength is required for catching leaping salmon, and level 45 in both for leaping sturgeon. Players will also need suitable bait such as feathers and a barbarian rod obtained from Otto's Grotto. For tick manipulation players will also need certain items to create a 3-tick action, such as herb and tar or knife and teak/mahogany logs, and a knife should the player cut the fish.

The best spot for Barbarian Fishing is at the pond next to the Otto's Grotto. Players can quickly get there by using a games necklace or Grouping teleport to Barbarian Assault and running south-west.

The basic method for 3-tick fishing is to drop the fish between catches. To do so, start the 3-tick cycle, drop the fish using shift drop, and click on the fishing spot. This requires accurate clicking and some practice to perform consistently, but it is more efficient than dropping a full inventory.

"Cut-eat" or "eat-cut" fishing (depending on the order) is a more advanced and slightly more click-intensive method. Having at least level 80 Cooking is recommended for a 100% cut rate for leaping salmon and sturgeon. Cut-eat fishing is done by starting a 3-tick cycle with herb and tar, cutting the fish with a knife and eating the roe/caviar to tick manipulate. When you run out of roe/caviar to be eaten and fish to be cut, use herb and tar to continue the 3-tick cycle. The benefits of this method is that it provides some passive Cooking experience, it does not require players to drop fish (therefore Shift is unused), and it is slightly cheaper due to fish offcuts also being produced which are used as bait over feathers. However, it is less predictable due to randomness being involved, which may take time getting used to. It is also stricter with timing; if the cutting and eating is done too late, the cycle becomes offset.

The experience rates in the table below assume the player is not wearing the angler's outfit. The AFK rates include the time spent dropping the fish, and the actual rates vary depending on how fast the fish are dropped. The Cooking rates from using the cut-eat method assumes level 99 Cooking; having level 80 Cooking would lower the rate by roughly 1,000 Cooking experience per hour.

Levels 71–99: 2-tick harpooning swordfish/tuna[edit | edit source]

Main articles: Raw tuna and Raw swordfish

Pay-to-play Fishing training (32)

2-tick harpooning swordfish and tuna offers the fastest Fishing experience. Lure two rats west of the Port Piscarilius bank so that they attack the player every two ticks. Equip a shortbow without ammo and turn on Auto Retaliate. Click the fishing spot on the same tick that a hitsplat appears. When done correctly, the player has a chance of catching fish every two ticks instead of five.

Alternatively, players can 2-tick harpoon in the Fishing Guild by having another account attacking the player with darts on a PvP world. This is riskier but offers slightly faster experience rates than 2-tick harpooning in Port Piscarilius.

Even though this method becomes available at level 35, other methods offer faster experience until level 61 due to low catch rates of the regular harpoon. The crystal harpoon is strongly recommended as it has a higher catch rate compared to the dragon or the regular harpoon. Players with low Agility or Strength levels are advised to train with Barbarian Fishing as the passive experience gained will benefit the player more than having slightly faster Fishing experience. However, 2-tick harpooning is the fastest method on average of obtaining the heron pet, which can be desirable for some players. This method is not worth doing without tick manipulation, as there are better methods for those who seek fast experience or a low-effort alternative.

The experience rates in the table below assume having good practice with the method. Expect lower rates when learning. At maximum efficiency, it is possible to gain up to 135,000–138,000 experience per hour at level 99. Players who are using the infernal harpoon can expect to gain around 20,000–26,000 passive Cooking experience per hour, depending on the Fishing level.

Other methods[edit | edit source]

Levels 35–99: Tempoross[edit | edit source]

Main article: Tempoross

Fighting the Tempoross offers relatively fast experience and it requires fairly low amount of effort compared to the tick manipulation methods.

Not cooking the harpoonfish means getting lower amounts of points/loot but significantly more Fishing experience. With a crystal harpoon and a Fishing level near 99, this is the fastest experience in the game if not using tick manipulation methods. With no crystal harpoon or if not near level 99 Fishing, drift net fishing will yield higher experience rates.

Cooking the harpoonfish means lower experience rate but significantly more points and, therefore, loot. It is recommended for iron players and pet hunters to use the infernal harpoon when they reach the level requirements.

Levels 43–99: Aerial fishing[edit | edit source]

Main article: Aerial fishing

Aerial fishing is a viable alternative method to train both Fishing and Hunter. However, drift net fishing offers faster experience in both skills, so this method is only recommended for players who wish to obtain the angler's outfit or the unique rewards from Alry the Angler.

Aerial fishing requires level 43 Fishing and level 35 Hunter. The fastest way to reach the island in the centre of Lake Molch is to use the fairy ring DJR, run south-west, and take the boat to the island.

Experience rates are shown in the table below. The rates assume 1,600 fish are caught per hour. If cutting the fish, players will also get some passive Cooking experience.

Levels 62–99: Monkfish[edit | edit source]

Main article: Raw monkfish

Catching monkfish at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony is a profitable low-effort alternative to the faster methods. This method requires completion of Swan Song. Monkfish are caught with a small fishing net.

Main article: Raw karambwan

Pay-to-play Fishing training (53)Pay-to-play Fishing training (54)100KPay-to-play Fishing training (55)Pay-to-play Fishing training (56)

Catching karambwan is a profitable low-effort alternative to the faster methods. This method requires completion of Tai Bwo Wannai Trio. Karambwan fishing spots do not move, which allows the player to catch an entire inventory of fish without interaction. When using the fish barrel, catching a full inventory takes around 3–5 minutes.

Karambwan are caught with a karambwan vessel and raw karambwanji. Raw karambwanji can be caught north-east of the fairy ring CKR using a small fishing net. The karambwan fishing spots are located just north of the fairy ring DKP.

When banking the fish, having a quick access to a bank and fairy rings is recommended. Good direct bank teleports include the Crafting cape, Karamja gloves 3 or 4, or a ring of dueling. For fairy rings, use the quest point cape or the fairy ring in the player-owned house. If using the fairy ring in the player-owned house, players can alternatively bring a rune pouch and bank at Seers' Village (after the hard Kandarin Diary) or at the Grand Exchange (after the medium Varrock Diary). Players who do not have access to these options can use the fairy ring to travel to Zanaris or another fairy ring with close proximity to a bank such as DJR.

Players who have completed the elite Lumbridge & Draynor Diary can equip a dragon harpoon instead of a dramen staff and use its special attack to boost their Fishing level for slightly better catch rates.

Experience rates are shown in the table below. The rates assume using the fish barrel, not wearing the angler's outfit, and include banking time as well as some idle time. Expect around 10% lower rates if not using the fish barrel.

Levels 80–99: Infernal eel[edit | edit source]

Main article: Infernal eel

Catching infernal eels in the inner part of Mor Ul Rek is a profitable low-effort alternative to the faster methods. To gain access to the area, the player must show a fire cape to a TzHaar-Ket guard (this does not consume the cape). Infernal eels are caught with an oily fishing rod and fishing bait while having ice gloves equipped. Smash the eels with a hammer to obtain Tokkul, onyx bolt tips, or lava scale shards. Use the spot in the south-easternmost area of the city, as the other two areas may have their fishing spots disappear more often.

Experience and profit rates are shown in the table below. The profit rates assume not wearing a Rada's blessing. The profit made from Tokkul assumes buying an uncut onyx with Karamja gloves equipped.

Levels 82–99: Minnows[edit | edit source]

Main article: Minnow

Pay-to-play Fishing training (62)

Catching minnows offers relatively slow experience, but it can provide decent profit depending on the Grand Exchange price of raw sharks. This can be done at Kylie Minnow's fishing platform in the Fishing Guild, which requires level 82 Fishing, a small fishing net, completion of the quest Fishing Contest, and having full angler's outfit to access. Minnows can be exchanged for noted raw sharks, which can be sold for profit.

Minnow fishing spots move clockwise every 15 seconds. In addition, a fishing spot will occasionally spawn flying fish instead of providing minnows; flying fish will eat 20 minnow directly from the player's inventory as long as they keep fishing there, forcing them to move to another spot. A flying fish will only appear after a fishing spot has changed and will continue to eat the player's minnows until the fishing spot changes position once again.

Experience and profit rates are shown in the table below. Wearing a Rada's blessing is recommended for extra profit, as it increases minnows per hour by 2% per tier of diary completed.

Levels 82–99: Anglerfish[edit | edit source]

Main article: Raw anglerfish

At level 82 Fishing, you can start catching anglerfish in Port Piscarilius. In order to catch anglerfish, Sandworms are required. Sandworms can be purchased from Tynan's Fishing Supplies nearby or the Grand Exchange.

Players can gain around 15,000 experience per hour at level 82, and 23,000 experience per hour at level 99.

Catching dark crabs inside the Resource Area becomes a viable low-effort option after completing the elite Wilderness Diary. The diary reward increases the catch rate for dark crabs significantly and provides the player free access to the Resource Area. The fishing spots inside the Resource Area also never move, which makes this method a very low-effort option. However, as the Resource Area is located in deep Wilderness, the player will encounter player killers.

The fish can be noted at Piles for 50 coins each. It is advised to bank the fish in Edgeville every so often to reduce the risk. To have a good chance of escaping player killers, wear cheap defensive gear while 3- or 4-iteming expensive armour pieces, and bring a few Saradomin brews food along with super restores. Players can optionally bring a lockpick and escape using the nearby magic axe hut. Equipping an imbued ring of wealth increases the chance of obtaining clue bottles.

Players who do not care about profit can simply drop the fish and risk nothing. Having spare Wilderness swords and the Edgeville respawn is recommended if doing this, as the player can expect to eventually die to a player killer.

Players can gain around 40,000 experience per hour.

  • Starting experience - 3,258,594

Levels 87–99: Sacred eel[edit | edit source]

Main article: Sacred eel

At level 87 and after partially completing Regicide, catching sacred eels at Zul-Andra becomes a profitable low-effort alternative to the faster methods. Sacred eels are caught with a fishing rod and fishing bait. Dissect the eels with a knife to extract Zulrah's scales. Doing so requires at least level 72 Cooking. The Zulrah's scales obtained and Cooking experience gained scales with the Cooking level.

Experience and profit rates are shown in the table below. The expected profit rates assume not wearing a Rada's blessing.
