Quick Links
Genshin Impact has just introduced fishing and there's a lot to take in. After speaking to Katherine in Mondstadt you can grab a rod from Nantuck just outside the city but what comes next? Well once you've checked out our fishing guide and mastered the basics, you'll no doubt be looking to locate specific fish.
This guide shows you all the fishing spots across Teyvat as well as covering which fish you can find there and the bait you'll need to catch them.
How To Spot Fishing Locations In Genshin Impact
There are currently 27 fishing locations in Teyvat, spread across Mondstadt, Dragonspine, Liyue and Inazuma.Once you approach the fishing spot you'll be able to see different fish in the water. Occasionally they will have a blue marker, as seen above. This means there are ornamental fish in the area, which can be put into your Serenitea Pot's new decorative pond.
Don't worry if you accidentally scare them. Fish that were scared by you or your line landing too close to them will respawn within a minute or so.
Fish Respawn Time
Some fish only come out at night so you may notice different fish in a fishing spot during the day and at night. However, once you've caught everything that has spawned the spot will remain empty until the daily server reset.
Bait Types
There are four types of bait in Genshin Impact. You'll be given a recipe for Fruit Paste Bait when you first learn to fish and can then purchase recipes for Fake Fly Bait, False Worm Bait, and Redrot Bait from Nantuck for three Medaka fish per recipe. Here's what you'll need to craft them.
- Fake Fly Bait - 1 x Sakura Bloom 1 x Horsetail
- False Worm Bait - 1 x Slime Condensate 1 x Berry
- Fruit Paste Bait - 1 x Sunsettia 1 x Wheat
- Redrot Bait - 1 x Dendrobium 1 x Fowl
Each recipe will yield ten bait and you need to craft them at an Alchemy Table.
