FISH FEAR ME: How to Catch Each Fish

A guide to catching each of the fish in Fish Fear Me. Some of these rare fish require specific bait, lures, times and locations.

Intro

This guide will show you the conditions for catching each of the fish in Fish Fear Me. Currently I have focused on 100%-ing the first 2 zones so all the fish within Nightmare Lake and Shipwreck Bay are listed. I will update with all of the Shadow Sea fish once I have them.

The fish required for achievements have also been listed in a separate section to make them easier to find.
