The Best Fish to Catch to Get 99 Fishing Fast in Runescape P2P Worlds. Although there are many fish you can catch once you become a member and start training through levels 1-99 fishing in Runescape, there are only three P2P fish that should be considered to be caught all the way to 99 fishing. The fishing skill was released on 11 June 2001, along with Karamja and the Pirate's Treasure quest. It was part of a large update that complemented the Cooking skill. This update added many of the fish that are currently found in free-to-play, including shrimp, salmon, and lobster.
Welcome to our Fishing guide for OSRS! This skill gives players the opportunity to catch various fish from all around Gielinor. As you progress in your fishing level, you’ll be able to catch a wider variety of fish, and you can catch them faster. The fishing skill works hand in hand with the cooking skill, as you can immediately cook the fish that you acquire, and not only get cooking experience, but also some food that can be later used or sold. Today, Ezrsgold team compiled the best ways to get to level 99 Fishing in OSRS. So, let’s jump into it!
OSRS Fishing XP Quests
You will need level 20 fishing to catch trout, and level 30 fishing for salmon. To fly-fish, simply click on the fishing spot and select 'Lure'. You will use one feather each time you catch a fish. Fly-fishing is good for power fishing because it has a high catch rate and can earn over 50% more experience per hour than catching monkfish.

Runescape 3 1-99/120 Fishing guide 2018 Updated guide for 2019: Alternatively you can just go fishing IRL.
Because fishing in Old School RuneScape is considered to be one of the slowest skills, it is highly recommended that you quest your way through the early levels. Only completing the quest for the Sea Slug, for example, will get you all the way to level 24. Below is a list of all the quests that offer experience in fishing. Consider trying to complete some of them before or during your fishing adventure.
If you want to skip the boring quest grinds and want to jump straight into the Fishing action, head to our OSRS questing service.
Useful Items for Fishing
Angler's Outfit
The Angler's outfit is amazing; imagine an outfit you can wear that will give you an extra 2.5 per cent fishing experience forever. To get the full outfit, you'll need to try your luck at either the minigame of Fishing Trawler, or by Ariel fishing. Now we're not going to go into the ins and outs of the Fishing Trawler, we're going to save that for another guide! If you have the outfit, you will have to meet the requirement of 34 fishing to wear it and enjoy its benefits. Just in case you just want to wear selected pieces, note that the hat gives an XP bonus of 0.4 per cent. The top gives an XP bonus of 0.8 per cent. The waders bring an XP bonus of 0.6 percent, and the boots carry an XP bonus of 0.2 per cent. Wearing them all adds an extra set bonus of 0.5 percent, which leads to a maximum set bonus of 2.5 percent.
General Equipment
In regard to general fishing equipment, Fishing uses two types of equipment, which are divided into consumables and equipment. Consumables are used up for each fish caught at the cost of one item and are stackable while the equipment is non-stackable and reusable. The items are: For Net Fishing, the Small fishing net, which is not consumable. For Bait Fishing, the fishing rod, and some fishing bait. For Fly Fishing, the Fly-fishing rod and some feathers to act as bait. For Harpooning, Harpoon (or bare handed if you finished the barbarian Training Miniquest, or a barb-tail harpoon), which is not consumable. For Cage Fishing, the Lobster pot, which is not consumable. For Barbarian Fishing, the Barbarian Rod, and baits like fishing baits, fish offcuts, feathers, roe or caviar. For Aerial Fishing, there’s the Cormorant and usable baits like the king worms, and fish chunks.
If you need some cheap OSRS GP to assist in buying these items, head to our OSRS Gold service.
Rada's Blessing
In addition, you may want to receive the blessing of the Rada from the Kourend & Kebos diary for those players who are wanting to earn some money while fishing. The easy, medium, hard, and elite dairies all offer 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8% (respectively) at once to catch two fish. You’ll need to equip the blessing for it to take effect.
Levelling Fishing
In this OSRS fishing guide, we provide you with two paths that you may want to go down (or mix and match to your liking). The first is the easy route that will get you to level 99 as quickly as possible. To those of you who want to make some profits, the second route is the profitable process. Regardless of which path you choose, you'll be doing the same methods from levels 1 to 62.
Levels 1-20 - Fishing Shrimp/Anchovies
You will be fishing shrimp to kick off the long grind of fishing in this OSRS fishing guide, from level 1 through 20. Bear in mind, though, that at level 15 you'll start catching the more advanced relative of the shrimp–the anchovies! You'll need a small fishing net to capture these fish, and head to a good fishing spot. Draynor Village, as seen on the map below, is our personal favorite place to fish for shrimp and anchovies. Simply head north towards the bank if you want to bank the fish. Otherwise you can stick to dropping the fish until you reach level 20. Or, the Sea Slug Quest helps you to skip straight to level 24. You will need 30 fire making to start the quest and you will need to speak to Caroline, east of Ardougne, as shown on the map below.
Fishing Rs3 Skill
Levels 20-58 – Fly Fishing Trout/Salmon
At levels 20 to 58, away from shrimps and anchovies, you'll be catching bigger types of fish: trout and salmon. Similar to how the anchovies were, at level 30 you'll start catching salmon. You'll need a fly-fishing rod, and feathers, to catch these fish. Travel over to any fly-fishing spot next. As seen on the map below, our personal preference is the place outside Barbarian Village. If you want to bank the fish, head east until you reach the bank of Varrock. If not, just dropping the fish and going to level 58 is also perfect!
Levels 58-62 – Barbarian Fishing
You will be doing Barbarian fishing from levels 58 to 62 before you go divide off into either the fast or profitable paths in this OSRS fishing guide. To fish here you will need to start the Barbarian Training fishing portion. Simply speak to Otto Godblessed at the place as indicated by the map to do so. You will also need 15 agility and 15 strength (recommended 45 agility and 45 strength when accessing higher tier fish). You'll also experience Agility & Power as an added bonus! You're going to need a barbarian rod (which you'll get from Otto), and a stack of feathers, as your bait. Go to the Otto's Grotto fishing spot to get started.
There's a rare trick that you might have heard of in Old School RuneScape, called 3-tick manipulation. You can dramatically speed up your fishing by taking fast enough actions within a tick (0.6 seconds)..Because fishing is typically a 5-tick action, tick manipulation can result in a 3-tick action, potentially increasing your experience by 67%. If you wish to use these dramatic boosts in fishing, let's go through 3-tick fishing!
Next, you're going to need your barbarian rod, feathers, any herb, swamp tar, and a pestle and mortar (we're going to describe their use later). It's smart to have a couple of extra herbs just in case you make a mistake. Below is an example of an inventory setup. You'll need to use your herb on your swamp tar fast for Barbarian Fishing. When you see your animation beginning to crush up your herb, click on the fishing spot quickly, then repeat the process and drop the fish as you go. It can become very click intensive – so take breaks! From there, it's just rinse and repeat until level 62 (or if you're taking the quick method further).

Fastest way to traing Fishing in Old School Runescape
Levels 62-99 – Barbarian Fishing
To kick off this guide's fast section while finishing it at the same time, from level 62 all the way to fishing mastery at 99, you're going to do barbarian fishing once again. Bear in mind that at level 70, you'll start catching the leaping sturgeon, increasing your rates of experience. If you have forgotten how to go about barbarian fishing, just scroll up!
Profitable way to train Fishing
Levels 62-82 – Fishing Monkfish
You want to make some money, then? To begin this guide's profitable portion, you will be fishing monkfish from levels 62 through 82. You'll need just a small fishing net for this process. However, if you want to fish at Piscatoris (as we suggest because of the close proximity of a bank), you'll have to complete the quest of the Swan Song. Use a Piscatoris teleport to get to the fishing spot, and head slightly northwest to the fishing spot, as seen in the map below. From there, all you need to do is fish away, and bank slightly southeast of the river.
Levels 82-99 – Fishing Minnows
To top this OSRS Fishing Guide, you'll be catching minnows from level 82 through to level 99. Sadly, for this one you need an Angler's outfit so if you forgot how to get one, scroll up to this guide's 'useful items' part. Get a small fishing net with your Angler's outfit and head over to the fishing spot. At the Fishing Guild, you'll catch minnows.
You may have found that the minnows are untradable when you're fishing minnows. And how can you make income from it? Simply speak to Kylie Minnow, who is going to buy your minnows for raw sharks at a cost of 40 minnows per shark, to start making money. If you don't want to get the Angler's uniform, feel free to stick to Monkfish fishing. It's less gold per hour and less experience per hour, but it saves you all the effort to get the Angler outfit. Keep going until level 99!
OSRS Fishing Money Making guide
There’s a some good ways to make some money while fishing – let’s go through a few!
Firstly, there’s catching Karambwans, which grants about 255k GP per hour. At level 65 Fishing, and you can start catching karambwan after completing the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio questYou'll need a karambwan vessel and raw karambwanji to bait for karambwan fishing. Raw karambwanji can be caught northeast of the fairy ring code - ckr. The best spot to catch karambwan is a spot north of the dkp fairy ring. For this approach it is highly recommended to have a simple access to a fairy ring, like a fairy ring at your house. Players can use a dueling ring to bank the fish at Castle Wars, Edgeville using an amulet of glory, Shilo Village Underground Mine using Karamja gloves 3 or 4, or The Theatre of Blood using Drakan's medal. Alternatively the dkp fairy ring can be used to quickly bank the fish in Zanaris without any teleportation items, requiring only a short run from the fishing spot to the bank box.

Next, there’s catching Infernal Eels, which gets about 237k GP per hour. You can start catching infernal eels at level 80 Fishing inside the city of Mor Ul Rek. To gain entry to Mor Ul Rek a fire cape has to be given to a TzHaar-Ket guard. This doesn't take the cape away, so don’t worry about losing it. Using a hammer to remove ten to twenty Tokkul, one onyx-bolt tip, or one to five lava scale fragments, infernal eels can be smashed open. Peer eel, you should expect to make upwards of 1000 GP. Fishing infernal eels in the most city's south-east area is suggested, as the other two areas may see their fishing spots vanish more frequently.
Also, there’s the method of catching Sacred Eels, which makes about 374k GP per hour. At level 87 Fishing and partially completing the Regicide search, players at Zul-Andra will catch sacred eels giving 105 Fishing xp per Sacred Eel. The fish can be dissected with a knife to remove Zulrah's scales with a Cooking level of 72. Dissecting the fish will offer cooking experience of around 109-227, and 3-9 scales. The cooking level of a player determines how many scales are earned upon dissection. With a cooking level in the mid-80s, an average of around 5 scales per fish can be predicted and around 7 scales per fish are given at a cooking level of 96.After making some money, why not sell it for some real life cash?
