Fishing is a gathering skill: equip a fishing rod and cast for fish to earn Fishing XP plus a little Dexterity XP. Higher-tier fish need a higher level and take longer to reel in, but give more XP and sell for more gold. The table below ranks every fish by XP per hour and gold per hour so you can pick the best catch for either fast levels or profit.

Per-level XP requirements are community-sourced estimates — IdleMMO does not publish an official XP curve, so treat action and time totals as close approximations, not exact figures.
