Enshrouded Fishing
In 1.0, all fish can be caught in any body of water with suitable bait and a capable rod. Bait targets the fish’s tier; older location-only catch tables describe the pre-1.0 system.

Rod, bait, people
The Hunter’s Unknown Waters quest introduces fishing and the basic rod. Later recipes and equipment involve the Fisher, Captain Melville Fontane. Equip a rod and bait, then cast into water, including a player-made pond.
Keen’s 1.0 changelog explicitly replaces the old location-only fish rules: every fish can be caught in every body of water. Each bait primarily attracts fish of the same tier, and improved bait guarantees a matching tier when a fish bites. Higher-tier fish also require a sufficiently capable rod. Marked fishing spots affect the rebalanced trash and treasure chances. The linked wiki’s older location tables should not override these launch notes.
Questions
What are the best spots?
Veilwater Basin offers a large natural lake, but 1.0 no longer locks fish species to that region. Match bait and rod to the tier you want; marked spots can influence trash and treasure chances.
When was fishing added?
Update 7, 10 November 2025. 1.0 later changed the progression.
