There are 19 types of fish in Assassin's Creed Valhalla and only a true fisherman will be able to catch them all. The first step is to build the Fisherman's hut in Raventhorpe as this will grant you access to this ability. It will open up more opportunities for access to tattoos, runes, and other unique rewards as you trade fish for these items.

Luckily, there are some locations that are amazing for fishing so you don't have to travel to ten different places to catch them all. The game even includes some pamphlets you can purchase called Fantastic Fish and Where to Find Them for those looking to have this information on hand during the game. Keep reading to learn about the best places to fish and what you will catch at each location!

Updated March 2nd, 2021 by Rebecca O’Neill: Fishing is a skill that you must master in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla as it plays a part in several aspects of Viking life. Fish can be sold for silver, but they also play a part in different challenges you may face throughout the game. It could be that an Offering Altar is requesting a certain number of regular Bullhead or as part of a World Event where you are contracted to catch a few eels. Some players just enjoy the peacefulness of it all as they head out to simply sit back, relax, and watch as fish nibble on their line as they take a break from their Viking duties for the day.

Luckily, there are a few tips and tricks that can help you become the best fisherman in England, as the fish never stop biting at your line!

11 Fishing Tips And Tricks

Fishing Tips in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

There are a few tips and tricks to take your fishing experience to the next level. It might seem like all you have to do is toss your line in the water, but there is so much more to it than that.

The tips and tricks you should consider when fishing include:

  • You Don’t Need A Fishing Line
Bow Fishing in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

A fishing line is not necessary for a fishing venture, as you can use your bow and shoot at the fish in the water. It is also possible to hop into the water and use your weapon to slice them to pieces, but this can be a bit more difficult to manage.

Once you kill a fish, all you must do is jump in the water to retrieve it and then start the process all over again.

  • Upgrade The Fishing Hut

The Fishing Hut is where you will receive your handy fishing line, so you should try and upgrade this settlement building as soon as possible. It also serves another purpose as you can trade-in your fish for special rewards.

You can unlock things such as runes and tattoos which can give you an edge when you are running across England as a formidable Viking.

  • Use Odin’s Sight

You might be having a hard time finding fish in the water, but this is where Odin’s Sight comes in handy. All you have to do is use it and then look toward the water as it will reveal schools of fish.

You can often tell what size they will be and even the type of fish, but this is a great way to make fishing with your bow even easier. It is a change compared to Assassin's Creed Origins, although it is one that every player can appreciate.

  • Head To Deeper Water
Fishing in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Shallow water is not the best place for fish which is why deep rivers and the ocean are great places to look for something to catch. Your best bet is to take a boat as it can navigate to these sections of the river so you can use your time efficiently.

If you are having trouble catching the fish you need -- especially in terms of large fish, then use this method to explore the waterways to find it.

  • Meditate To Make Fish Spawn

Meditation might turn day to night, but it is also a useful tool for making fish spawn. If you are in an area where you know there should be fish, then you can use this to make them appear.

It makes it so you do not have to run to Timbuktu and back in search of fish when you are already educated as to their typical location.

10 Rygjafylke and Hordafylke (Norway)

The location in Norway in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

This is a two-for-one as all of the fish found in Norway can be caught at both of these locations. The fish that players can catch here include Arctic Char, Hake, Mackeral, and Redfish, but it is at the bottom of the ranking due to there only being four fish for you to catch.

It is as easy as heading to the coast and casting a line, but heading to locations where you can Fast Travel to your longship, something all pro players do, tends to yield the best results.

9 Suthsexe

The location of Suthsexe in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Suthsexe is located in England at the southern portion of the map in the middle of Wessex. The fish that can be caught here are Burbot, Flatfish, Grey Trout, Pollock, Sturgeon, and Bream.

You will fish along the river and the best bet to find the fish you want is to use your focus to identify them before casting your line to answer the question of what lies beneath the water's surface.

8 Sciropescire

The location of Sciropescire in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

The fish at this location are Brown Trout, Bullhead, Burbot, Eel, and Perch. Sciropescire is located to the left of Ledescestersire and there are two lakes located in this area that are perfect for fishing.

It is best to take a small boat onto them as the deeper the water, the more fish you are bound to find. You might need to make your way through the story before entering this area, but it is well worth the wait.

7 Grantebridgescire

The location of Grantedbridgescire in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Grantebridgescire is one of the first areas you can open on the map and it can be found just south of your Raventhorpe settlement. Shad, Bullhead, Eel, Halibut, and Perch are the fish you can catch at this location.

One thing to keep in mind is that there is an offering altar located here that asks for a donation of ten Bullheads. If you head to the water's edge closest to this altar then you are sure to find large numbers of these fish for both the altar and to drop off at the Fishing Hut.

6 Essexe

The location of Essexe in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Essexe is located south of Grantedbridgescire and is attached to both the coast and a few rivers. You are able to catch Bream, Cod, and Flatfish off the coast, while Grey Trout and Polluck can be found in the rivers at this location.

If you want to catch them all then one tip is to take a boat in a loop through the rivers and down the coastline to make sure you accomplish this goal.

5 Hamtunscire

The location of Hamtunscire in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Hamtunscire is another location with dual waters, as well as a few inland lakes that can be fished as well, which is why you should come back here after you beat the game. It is located left of Suthsexe and south of Oxenfordschire and it will take some time before your power is high enough to enter this area despite its hype.

The fish that can be caught here are Flatfish, Sturgeon, and Bream off the coast and Grey Trout, Pollock, Sturgeon, and Burbot in the rivers.

4 Eurvicscire

The location of Eurvicscire in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

Eurviscire is located at the very top of the map with Lincolnscire on its right and Snotinghamscire on its left. It has both rivers and a coast making it the perfect place to search for a wide variety of fish.

The rivers hold Brown Trout, Bullhead, Perch, and Salmon, while the coast has Haddock, Halibut, and Shad. You could potentially knock seven fish off of your list just by traversing the waterways of Eurviscire.

3 Lincolnscire

The location of Lincolnscire in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

It was just mentioned how Lincolnescire is at the top of the map to the right of Eurviscire. This location has rivers, coast, and even a few inland lakes scattered about that are perfect for making big catches, and we hope the same is true of the regions in The Siege of Paris.

You can find Salmon, Brown Trout, Bullhead, and Perch in the rivers at this location, and you will have to head to the coast if you want to catch Haddock or Halibut.

2 Cent

The location of Cent in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

The coastline of Cent is filled with Bream, Cod, Flatfish, and Sturgeon while the rivers are just as plentiful with Burbot, Grey Trout, Pollock, and more Sturgeon. You can find Cent at the bottom right-hand corner of the map, so it could take some time before you are able to fish this location.

However, it will be well worth the wait as the waters are teeming with fish and it won't take long for you to catch them all.

1 East Anglia

The location of East Anglia in Assassin's Creed Valhalla

East Anglia is one of the first areas you are able to enter and should visit as players are only required to have a power of 55. It is on the far right side of the map and is mainly coastline, with a few rivers scattered here and there.

You will easily find Bullhead, Eel, and Perch in the rivers while the coastline is overflowing with Cod, Haddock, Halibut, and Shad. It is by far the best place to fish as there are seven different kinds for you to catch, and the power level is low enough so you can head here early in the game.
