Let’s be honest: after a long day exploring the dungeons of Orbis or fleeing from angry Trorks, nothing beats a relaxing fishing session. But in Hytale , fishing isn’t just a simple pastime; it’s a genuine survival and collection mechanic.
If you want to fill your inventory with delicious fish (or simply decorate your base with a giant aquarium), here’s everything you need to know.

1. Essential equipment: The fishing rod
Before you can consider yourself the best fisherman on the server, you’ll need the basic tool: the fishing rod . While the final crafting recipes are still shrouded in mystery, we know you’ll need basic resources (wood, string) to get started. The further you progress through the zones, the more powerful equipment you’ll be able to craft to catch rare specimens.
2. The fishing technique: Coming soon!
In Hytale, fishing is interactive. Don’t just cast your line and go make a coffee! The game’s creators plan to implement fishing rods very soon!
- Find a water source: Whether it’s a peaceful river in Zone 1 or an icy expanse in Zone 3.
- Cast your line: Aim for areas where you see ripples or fish silhouettes.
- Setting the hook: Wait for the visual or audible signal. In Hytale, the fish’s behavior influences the difficulty of the catch. You’ll sometimes have to “fight” a little to avoid breaking the line!

3. Where can the different species be found?
Each biome has its own ecosystem. A tropical fish will never be found in the frozen lakes of Borea. This is where exploration becomes interesting: some fish only come out at night, others prefer the depths of the oceans.
Expert tip: Always keep an eye on your surroundings. Aquatic wildlife is sensitive to climate and time of day.
4. Check out the Wiki to become a pro
There are dozens of fish varieties to discover. To learn about the specific characteristics of each species, their preferred habitats, and the rewards they offer, I highly recommend consulting the fisherman’s bible:
