Best Fishing Spots for The Catch

Liyue Fishing Spots

Liyue will be the best place to fish for Rusty and Golden Kois. Both Rusty Koi and Golden Koi need the Fake Fly Bait to be caught.

Inazuma Fishing Spots

Raimei Angelfish can only be caught in one area in Inazuma, and needs False Worm Bait to bite. There are also some Fishing Spots in Inazuma that have both Rusty and Golden Kois!

The Catch Fish Appearance Times and Bait

List of Fish	In-Game Time & Bait
Golden Koi Rusty Koi	Anytime Fake Fly Bait
Raimei Angelfish	18:00 to 6:00 False Worm Bait

The Rusty and Golden Koi can be fished all around the clock, while the Raimei Angelfish can only be caught between 18:00 and 6:00. Use the in-game time adjuster function for the Raimei Angelfish!

Place Thoma in Your Team

Thoma's Talent, Snap and Swing, gives you a 20% chance of getting twice the amount of fish while fishing in Inazuma when you have him in your current team!

How Long Does It Take to Farm The Catch?

Two Weeks in Real Time

You can only get a set amount of fish per pool area and fish respawns will take up to 72 hours in real life. On average, fishing for the catch can take up to 2 weeks to complete.

Faster by Visiting Other Player Worlds

If you have generous friends, ask them if you could fish in their world! You can bypass the fishing limit by fishing in another player's world. This way, it could be possible to farm for The Catch in less than a day!
