How to fish in Genshin Impact: Types of baits, fish and how to get them

 Here we show you all the details about the Genshin Impact fishing system. Find out how to unlock it, what types of rods and baits exist, what are the fishing points and much more.

       How to unlock the fishing system? Requirements


First of all, before we get down to business with fishing in Genshin Impact, you should know that this system is not accessible from the beginning for all players. Some prerequisites must be met to be able to fish in the game, which are the following:

  • You must have activated the Kettle Relaxer system . To complete this first step you will need:
    • Have already reached Adventure Rank 35 or higher.
    • Completed Archon quest - Chapter 1: Act III: A New Star Rising.
    • Finished quest Teapot Sweet Teapot.
  • You must have completed the Watery Boom world quest (the Katheryne delivery from the Adventurer's Guild in Mondstadt).

After meeting these two requirements, you can start fishing in your Genshin Impact game whenever you want.

How to fish? step by step walkthrough


Once we have already unlocked the fishing system in Genshin Impact, to proceed to fish , we will have to follow several steps. The first thing of all is to get bait , since without it there will be no fish that will come close to us. Baits can be made by synthesizing in alchemy with some resources. Afterwards, you have to equip a fishing rod (you get a basic one in the Aquatic Boom mission).

With these two elements, we only have to go to a fishing point in the world. These are aquatic areas in which different species of fish live. You will easily recognize them because there are ripples on the surface of the water and you can even see fish swimming in it. Remember that the fishing points are updated every 3 days and the day or night can affect the presence of fish.

When you are already at a fishing point, equip the fishing rod and keep these important steps in mind :

  • Hold down the "Throw rod" button: to aim where you want to cast the hook.
  • Release this button: to cast the baited hook in the chosen direction.
  • If the hook falls too far from the fish: they will not be attracted to the bait.
  • If the hook lands very close to the fish: you may scare them and they will flee from the area (try to cast it in the middle ground).
  • Wait patiently for a fish to strike your bait - when it does, quickly press the "Pull Rod" button to begin reeling in the line before the fish flees.

  • When the fish gets stuck: it will start to struggle and pull on the line. Your objective is to press and release the "Fishing" button to keep the tension of the rod within the yellow zone of the indicator that appears at the top of the screen at all times (this is the ideal fishing zone).
  • Below the fishing indicator: you will have a circular ring that gradually fills in as you stay within the ideal zone. If you manage to get this ring completely filled, you will have caught your fish.

This process requires some practice and experience . Do not despair if at first the fish escape you. You have to get the hang of it. Sometimes some fish bite the hook harder , so the pressure and tension of the rod varies rapidly and turns orange or the rod shakes (plus the sweet spot gets smaller). You have to adjust the yellow zone quickly and maintain good reflexes to catch the most elusive fish.

If fishing progress gets too difficult and you spend too much time outside of the ideal yellow zone , the rod tension may turn red and the fish may eventually escape from the hook.

Types of baits and how to create them


In Genshin Impact there are a total of 5 different types of baits that can be used for fishing. Each bait is ideal for certain species of fish, so you will need one or the other to attract different fish.

Here we show you the 5 baits, how to get their recipes , what are the fish that can be caught with them and the ingredients you need to create them in alchemy:

All types of fish and where to find them


As we have already been able to intuit by taking a look at the baits that exist, in Genshin Impact we have a total of 6 different species of fish distributed throughout the world of Teyvat. Within each species of fish there are variations of specimens , and some can be found at specific fishing points on the map. You can check the fish you have already caught in the menu File - Living things . In addition, the most vital and valuable specimens of each species are considered "ornamental fish", which can be used as decoration in the inner world of the Teapot Relaxer.

Below we show you all the Genshin Impact fish species and what their specimens are. To find out in which areas of the map they appear you can use the interactive map website :
