RuneScape Skill Guides - Fishing

Fishing is catching raw fish in water using nets, rods, etc. Many combat players need food to help keep them alive during battles, and fish is a very popular source. This is one of the skills in which members have a major advantage. Members are able to catch more types of fish and have a bigger range of fishing-catching implements.

Here are the different types of fish you can catch

Note: I have purposely not included multiple fish including members fish like mackerel as well as the fishlike thing from the ScapeRune random event.
