Fishing is a big part of Fields of Mistria, whether you’re just trying to fulfill some townie’s request or if you’re trying to complete the museum. Finding the fish you need can be frustrating, so we’ve compiled everything you need to know about fishing successfully in one guide for you.

Below, we detail how to find fish of specific sizes and list out a complete chart of all the fish in the game.

Fish shadow sizes in Fields of Mistria

Each fish has a different size, which makes it easier to hunt down. There’s small, medium, large, and giant fish, all which have different shadow sizes, as shown below.

Seeing the difference between small and medium and medium and large can be hard sometimes, but you’ll be able to eye it out better and better the more you fish.

If you’re hunting for a specific fish, like a rare giant fish, you leave and come back to the map it’s found on to refresh the spawns until you see the correct shadow size.

Complete fish list in Fields of Mistria

While your in-game almanac will say that there’s 111 fish, there’s actually only 109. Two of the entries of the almanac accounts for fishing up trash (wood and fiber).

There are also four Legendary fish (Cherry Fish, Leaf Fish, Lightning Fish, and Snow Fish), which you can only catch after hitting fishing level 30 and activating the “Legendary” skill. You will get an in-game notification saying these fish are nearby if they spawn, so keep your fishing rod on you.

For the Lightning Fish and Snow Fish, some players have stated that they’ve found more luck finding these fish specifically during storms and blizzards respectively, but since the in-game descriptions just say “rainy” and “snowy” days, we’re abiding by that.

You can check out a complete list of all the fish in Fields of Mistria below. The in-game almanac sorts all the fish alphabetically, so we did, too.
