Freshwater Fishing Guide - Version 2.0

30 November 2018 - Drieghan region fish tables added with notes and map.

09 November 2018 - Totally reworked the list now the freshwater data check has been completed after the 10 October 2018 Patch Notes update unannounced changes to all fish tables.

All tables have been rechecked after the unannounced 10 Oct 2018 Patch Notes update changes with a full, 192 inventory sample catch to confirm the species and items available.

after the unannounced update changes with a full, 192 inventory sample catch to confirm the species and items available. Freshwater fish tables are generally set regionally, meaning that the relevant fish table can be caught anywhere within that region; except for some smaller streams and water bodies which may have the Default fish table (Fish Bones, Seaweed and either Surfperch or Sandeel). Kamasylvia also has eight separate fish tables in numerous water bodies, so refer to the map provided below for that region.

Refer to the Kamasylvia Fish Table Location Map at the end of the guide which identifies all fish-able water bodies in the region (possibly some small pools not marked on the game map not included but most are).

Refer to the Associated nodes listed for each fish table and the indicative areas indicated on the map.

There are no fish spawns in Kamasylvia.

The low drop rate, high value Rare species Golden Siniperca can drop region-wide in Kamasylvia. Therefore it is not included in individual fish tables.

The low drop rate, high value Rare species Granges D'Or can only be caught within Grana city waters and is included in that fish table.

The Bottle with a Note and Giant Fish Bone items have a chance to drop in the Kamasylvia Part 1 waters at a very low drop rate chance.

The Bronze Key item has a very low drop rate chance to drop region-wide in normal waters.

Map - Kamasylvia Fish Table Location Map

Generally the fishing in Dreighan is similar to Kamasylvia both in catch composition (one Rare species rather than two in Kamasylvia), value (though a lower distance trading bonus being closer to Valencia). It also appears to have a similar drop rate for relics and other items in that group.

Origin nodes are found across multiple node areas which are listed for each fish table. There will be other node areas covered not listed due to the complexity of the Dreighan waters.

There is only one Rare species in each fish table compared to Kamasylvia which has two Rare species in each but the overall percentage of catch is similar.

Axolotl species is a low drop chance, high value species chance to catch across the region.

species is a low drop chance, high value species chance to catch across the region. Generally, Ancient Relic Crystal Shard , Silver Key , Breezy Conch Seaweed and Laila's Petal items have a low drop rate chance in all fish tables except in the Common only table. Also a very low drop rate chance for Bottle with a Note and Giant Fish Bone items. Appears to be a similar drop rate to Kamasylvia for all these items.

, , and items have a low drop rate chance in all fish tables except in the Common only table. Also a very low drop rate chance for and items. Appears to be a similar drop rate to Kamasylvia for all these items. Null cast issues (rod bouncing back on cast)in many locations, Especially shallow waters. In these waters it is a matter of finding a patch where fishing works though in some it is not possible. The developers are currently aware of the issue.

Duvencrune has a lower trash percentage than other waters.

Dreighan, like other freshwater fishing waters, has all Big species available across the region in one group.

Map - Dreighan Fish Table Location Map

The randomly spawning fish pools are referred to as fish spawns rather than the older term hotspot, to avoid confusion between old static hotspots and the newer randomly spawning fish spawns.

Fish spawns inland difference from those found at sea in how they function. The general behaviour is:

The freshwater spawns have jumping fish (trout-like) but no sea gulls hovering above them.

They have a short spawn duration, often de-spawning within minutes (seemingly some are bugged and de-spawn in less than a minute).

On cast the spawn will de-spawn rather like Coelacanth spawns.

Unlike Coelacanth it is often possible to continue catching the spawn species in the same spot 2-3 more times after de-spawn. There is no remaining animation and the float needs to be recast to the same spot for this to occur.

The actual activation zone of the spawn is tight to the visual animation meaning the float needs to land in the middle or the spawn species wont be caught; unlike at sea where the activation zone extends out at least a boat length from the visual spawn.

Due to many freshwater spawns being out of range from land, the use of a boat is strongly recommended. This enables the fisher to patrol the river looking for spawns and position themselves close enough for an accurate cast into the pool. Using remote collection to an appropriate inland wharf (ensuring no items in the boat hold) is possible and the easiest way to use a boat inland.

There are some spawns which appear unfishable due to being in water where there is no wharf or connecting river through which to navigate to it. The spawns out of range from the shore (even with an energy cast) can not be fished. And example of this is Lake Kaia.

Many thanks to all of you and others in the various forums and social media for your help. If you have something to add please post here or join the chat channel.On a personal note, I haven't played the game now for months but do enjoy the fishing research and new fishing related content. So this gave me enough drive to update these guides, which seem to get plenty of use which encourages me to continue the work. I can't promise that they will always be updated but I stay pretty active in the Discord channel and try to do so when things crop up.I hope you find the guide useful and enjoy your time with the fishing in BDO.- EU
