"Discover All Fish Locations in Monster Hunter Wilds"
While the thrill of hunting ferocious monsters is at the heart of *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the game also offers a serene counterpoint with its fishing activity. Each region teems with various types of fish, and for those eager to catch them all, here's a comprehensive guide to all fish locations in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
How to Unlock Fishing in Monster Hunter Wilds

To start your fishing journey in Monster Hunter Wilds, you'll need to chat with Kanya at the Forest Base Camp in the Scarlet Forest, which you'll first encounter during Chapter 1. You'll find her by a pond at the camp, already casting her line. Once you have full access to the camp, approach her, and she'll hand you a fishing rod along with the Common Wood Minnow lure. This interaction also kicks off the ‘Fishing: Life, in Microcosm’ sidequest, the first of many fishing quests that will gradually unlock a variety of bait lures to help you catch the rarest fish in the game.
Where to Find All Fish in Monster Hunter Wilds

Below is a detailed list of all confirmed fish species in Monster Hunter Wilds, complete with their spawning locations and tips on the best tools and bait to use.
