'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is used to catch [[Fishing#Fish|fish]], [[Fishing#Special|special items]] and [[Fishing#Junk|junk]] which are deposited in the [[Bank|bank]]. If the [[Bank]] becomes full while Fishing, Fishing will continue but any extra items will be lost.
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is used to catch [[Fishing#Fish|fish]], [[Fishing#Special|special items]], and [[Fishing#Junk|junk]]. Many of the fish may be cooked with {{Skill|Cooking}} for use as [[food]] during {{Icon|Combat}} or {{Skill|Thieving}}, while a number of others can be used as ingredients for {{Skill|Herblore}} potions or {{Skill|Summoning}} tablets.


Most fish can be [[Cooking|cooked]] for use as [[food]] during {{Icon|Combat}} or {{Skill|Thieving}}.  
Of the [[Fishing#Special|special items]] obtained from Fishing, the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Skills}} and {{ItemIcon|Ancient Ring of Mastery}} are particularly noteworthy due to the skill and {{Icon|Mastery}} experience bonuses they provide for all non-combat skills. These rings are however also considered some of the rarest items in the game, and can take a significant amount of time to obtain.


At certain levels, upgrades to the fishing pole used are available in the Skill Upgrades section of the [[Shop]]. Upgraded fishing poles reduce the time required to catch fish. Raising Fishing to {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]]. The [[Fishing Skillcape]] doubles the amount of items caught.  
== Mechanics ==
The amount of time each Fishing action takes can be reduced by 5-40% by purchasing [[#Fishing Rods|fishing rods]] from the [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Shop]], 15% with the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}, 5% with the second unique star of {{ConstellationIcon|Ameria}} ({{MasteryReq|Ameria|60|type=constellation}}), 3% with the {{Skill|Agility|Elite Pillar of Experise}}, 2% with {{PetIcon|Harold}}, and 0.5 seconds while the {{ItemIcon|Octopus}} + {{ItemIcon|Eagle}} [[Synergy]] is active.


Using {{ItemIcon|Fishermans Potion IV|notext=true}} [[Fishermans Potion|Fisherman's potions]] increases the chance to catch double fish by 3-12%, which applies multiplicatively with the guaranteed doubling provided by the [[Fishing Skillcape]].
Fishing benefits from a couple of guaranteed item doubling bonuses, one being the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} perk, while the other is obtained by reaching a {{Icon|Mastery}} level of 99 in the fish being caught. While both are active, the quantity of fish caught per action is guaranteed to be at least 4. These bonuses apply multiplicatively with the chance to double items, and so the quantity of fish gained from a single action can be as much as 8.


== Fishing Areas ==
== Fishing Areas ==
There are 8 Fishing Areas, with different fish located in each Fishing Area. Each area has different chances to obtain junk or special items instead of fish. The chance to obtain special items can be reduced by wearing the {{ItemIcon|Sailor's Top}}, which can be useful to maximise the amount of fish obtained.

The chance to obtain special items can be reduced by wearing the {{ItemIcon|Sailor's Top}}, which can be useful to maximise the amount of fish obtained.


The Barbarian Fishing area is unlocked by wearing the {{ItemIcon|Barbarian Gloves}}. Catching fish in the Barbarian Fishing Area will give {{Skill|Strength}} and Fishing skill experience. This Strength experience is also affected by the experience bonus from {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}}.

As the player's Fishing level increases, new fish that give more experience will become available to catch. {{ItemIcon|Leaping Trout}}, {{ItemIcon|Leaping Salmon}}, and {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}}, will train {{Skill|Strength}} when caught, giving 10, 15, and 25 experience respectively. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} can be buried for 3 {{Skill|Prayer}} points each. {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} can be eaten to restore health without cooking. {{ItemIcon|Raw Poison Fish}} are used as an ingredient for the [[Performance Enhancing Potion]]. {{ItemIcon|Leaping Trout}}, {{ItemIcon|Leaping Salmon}}, {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Blowfish}}, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Poison Fish}} cannot be cooked.
