Valheim ULTIMATE FISHING GUIDE 2024 (Valheim Mistlands Update) 

Some big changes added to fishing in the latest updates on the public test branch 👍🏻 all the bait recipes have changed and fish now fight you

@@Kadath_Gaming Oh boy, might need to make another video then 😅 Thanks for letting me know!

eyepatch?

@@robertcampbell3019 Yeah, I needed to wear an eyepatch so I could still edit with one eye while protecting the other.

@@Kadath_Gaming oooh. I wanna Fish Fight!!

Thats a great tip , thanks so much for sharing !

whoa! valheim developers did a great job

Thank you for this. I knew there was something "fishy" about my stamina hitting bottom fast and loose the catch.

That being said fishing nukes my stamina no matter what and rn I've got 120 stam and can barely get the first fish, I definitely lose more than I catch

If you capture 2 fishes and make a pond, will they reproduce?

@@Silverhand404 no, you currently can’t breed fish in Valheim. If you’re making a fish pond, mark natural spawn points on your map. The fish like to jump a lot, so spotting them is pretty easy. They’ll always respawn there, so you can come back to collect more to add to the pond.

Same here.

Can confirm I have seen and caught level 5 fish. But never cooked them so no clue what their yield is.

Awesome to know, thanks for the comment!

@@Komyets i think 13

Yes lvl5 grouper yesterday

Really appreciate it Dek Code, cheers!

Quite the lucky find! I guess I'll have to keep looking myself!

You should’ve hung it on the wall it is gigantic lol

Thank you for the kind words, really glad to hear you liked it!

Appreciate it man, you're welcome!

Thank you, glad to hear it helped!

Thank you, Kristi!

My pleasure!

I have the same annoying problem.

@@dougstras Wrong bait. Hope you have figured it out by now. ^^

Wow! That's awesome to hear, Steev. Cheers!

@@alessioHD oh yeah man. I see your stuff pop up a lot and I enjoy it over many others because you have a much more humble approach and there really is a crap ton of horrible fishing videos by big channels - but yours is def the best

Thanks!

You're welcome!

Hahaha thank you!

Fish will only take the bait specific to them. So, even if you are in the Black Forest, pike and perch still only take normal bait. Only the Troll fish will take the Mossy bait. It is the same for every biome. Even in the Mistlands you only use Misty bait to catch fish specific to the biome. Perch and pike still only take regular bait.

@@jansmith3613 Thank you. I couldn't find an explanation anywhere. Thank you for taking the time to reply.

What would be awesome is if we could stock or own ponds and breed them.

It gives 90 stamina, 30 health.. Just catched few today, they're in mistlands rivers

Thank you!

yeah right? can that be? I'm also understanding it this way, but that would be stupid...

I saw a video about this recently. It’s an interesting strategy. They used 26 degree roofs to make a V shape so it was hard for the fish to swim out. It seems like jumping in the water can scare the fish, causing them to jump into the trap.

I saw the Same video I think but I think I did it wrong

Same here. The issue I have is building limitations. I can’t go out more than 3 or 4 pieces without something supporting underneath. I think once you have access to iron that changes. Even in shallower waters though, the fish don’t always jump onto my platforms or shoreline, can even wiggle themselves back into the water, and the ones that do beach themselves get taken back out with the tide or a storm, so you can’t really AFK the farm. It does work, it just doesn’t produce crazy yields. Only like a few fish per hr.

@@joshbesherse3842 I’ve found it easier to just build a flat platform just above the water and wait for the fish to jump on it, then grab em as quick as possible. They can wiggle themselves back into the water, but the bigger problem is tide changes and storms. Once the tide comes in or a storm starts, basically anything that slightly submerges your platform, any fish caught in the trap using the roofs will start swimming again and will clip through the roofing, allowing them to escape. I don’t know if there’s a way to fix that, but that’s been my experience with it. I thought I could AFK the farm, but the moment any waves came in, whatever fish I did have in the trap all managed to escape. Edit: plus, I’ve noticed that more fish hit the edge of the roof and fall back into the water than actually make it into the trap, that’s why I eliminated it and went with a flat floor.

I have a pic of mine w a deer in it lol

Haha glad you've got it sorted! Yeah, I believe most of the bait recipes have had slight changes but that puffer fish trap sounds like a great idea!

The wiki is your friend. But from what you say you found Hildir, the lady trader. Haldor, her brother is the one who sells fishing gear, he can be found in the black forest

Yes! The update went out in December!

@@alessioHD aw shucks time to bust out the steam deck!@

I believe fishing has had a couple updates since this video's release, so it's entirely possible!

Congrats! Perhaps the guide will need updating at some point!

My pleasure, I'm glad you enjoyed, Fsac! And thank you for letting me know about trawling, I can't believe I hadn't known that for this long!

Hmm no its actually Trolling.... trolling means to pull a bait or baits on a line behind a boat.... Trawling is to drag a net behind a boat.

@@kongpongreviews1997 My life has been a lie! You are indeed correct.

thank you for saying this, i almost got to halfway before i realized “dang this is p much not useful in the new update”

I mean u shoulda known better. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry about that, I'm actually not sure how I forgot! In case you're still wondering, it's +30 Health and +90 Stamina!

@@alessioHD 90 stamina!!! i knew asking would worth it 😅😅

They fished for food, not for fun. That's done with nets and traps. More primitive for survival with spears too. But a rod and line was never really a thing that early in history other than seldomly for sport. Specially not with spoons or any artificial baits. Reels weren't even a thing until much more recently, first reel designs started in like the 1800's and earliest forms of rod and line angling was pole fishing with bait, very thick clumsy thread line, and hooks too large for most fish youd have access to. Think blacksmiths could even forge a #2??😄 Back then they'd still mostly use a gorge anyways, rather than hook. I'm not too sure about the early Norse, that probably still did some recreational angling, even the Romans did, but overall they were probably busy with survival and food, and the angling they did was likely rudimentary due to lack of available tackle technology - which might have been slightly more developed in Europe even if still rudimentary

fish trying to escape is in a new update released like 4~7 days ago, ofc he can't cover it in a old video smh.

Talk about bad timing 😅

You have to cast it and wine back in so the line is only out around 5 to 6 meters. Soon as the fish pass your float hit Left button. Also you have to use 3 high stamina food's. They do need to work on the fishing aspect more. I hate having Stamina past 100 and can't wind in a fish at 10 yards. Sometimes I only have out 4 meters and they still hit it. Mix the troll head trophy and the regular bait at cauldron and use that in the dark forest. I catch alot of them troll fish. Good luck.
