[Update] Ridiculous Fishing 101: How to fill the Fishopedia with every single fish
|
| Ridiculous Fishing

The Fishopedia is your in-depth checklist for every species of fish in Vlambeer's comic angling sim Ridiculous Fishing.

This handy tome will let you know how many fish you've caught and how much money each fish will make you (or cost you) when caught.

You'll also get hints on any species you've left to find. But if those aren't helpful enough, check out our guide for an instant solution.

Note: each entry tells you in which area these fish are hiding. HW means Home Waters, SS means Stormy Seas, AF means Arctic Floes, and M means The Maelstrom.
For more general hints and tips, check out our main guide to Ridiculous Fishing here.
