How fish shadows work

A character in Fields of Mistria fishing off a dock in the winter time.

Rod catches appear as small, medium, large or giant shadows. The difference between neighbouring sizes can be difficult to judge at first, but repeated fishing makes the silhouettes easier to recognise.

When searching for a particular size, especially a rare giant fish, leave the relevant area and return to refresh the available spawns until the required shadow appears.

Legendary fish

The four legendary catches are Cherry fish, Leaf fish, Lightning fish and Snow fish. They become available after reaching fishing level 30 and activating the Legendary skill. When one spawns, the game warns that a legendary fish is nearby, so keep your fishing rod ready.
