Generally, you should train on the highest level fish you have unlocked, or follow the list below:

Selling the fish should result in enough gold to upgrade to the best available [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] in the [[Shop]]. It is to be noted that only fishing rods up to {{UpgradeIcon|Dragon Fishing Rod}} actually help with speeding up the experience gain. {{Skill|Cooking}} your fish will increase their value when sold, and will get you Cooking experience at the same time!

 

=== Junk ===

 

Changing fishing targets too often has one downside - Junk. It provides 1 XP when received, greatly reducing your overall XP and GP rates.  

 

Players will receive Junk at a fairly high rate (10-29%, depending on location) while fishing until their total {{Icon|Mastery}} progression is at 25% or when the {{Icon|Mastery}} level for an individual fish reaches 65.

 

Therefore, it is reasonable to spend your [[Mastery#The_Mastery_Pool|Mastery Pool]] on getting {{ItemIcon|Fanfish}},  {{ItemIcon|Raw Cave Fish}}, {{ItemIcon|Manta Ray|Manta Rays}}, and {{ItemIcon|Whale|Whales}} to level 65 in order to remove the chance of Junk, which will boost your speed of progress.

=== Additional Information ===

The single most efficient item to obtain for training fishing is the {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}}, then [[Shop#Fishing_Rods|Fishing Rod]] upgrades in the Shop, then {{ItemIcon|Pirates Lost Ring}}. The {{ItemIcon|Amulet of Fishing}} is obtained by opening {{ItemIcon|Treasure Chest|Treasure Chests}}.

There is a small chance to acquire the {{ItemIcon|Message in a Bottle}}. It will unlock the [[Fishing#Area|Secret Area]] that gives no Junk and has a higher chance of special items. This area has {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}}, {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}}, and {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}}.

Fishing for {{ItemIcon|Raw Seahorse}} is used to get special items at the fastest possible rate, and are surprisingly efficient Cooking materials. {{ItemIcon|Raw Skeleton Fish}} is a decent way to get {{Skill|Prayer}} points. {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} is a decent way to make GP and food **without** {{Skill|Cooking}}. Getting to level 99 before fishing any of these fish - especially {{ItemIcon|Raw Magic Fish}} - is strongly recommended as they all have poor xp rates, and the {{ItemIcon|Fishing Skillcape}} doubles all fish you catch.

Another hidden area is unlocked with the {{ItemIcon|Barbarian Gloves}}, this area has {{ItemIcon|Leaping Trout}}, {{ItemIcon|Leaping Salmon}}, and {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}}. While these have no direct benefits to Fishing, they provide {{Skill|Strength}} xp. Generally only {{ItemIcon|Leaping Broad Fish}} are worth the effort, although this is a minor benefit at best, and is no longer efficient beyond roughly {{SkillReq|Strength|40}}.
