How to Fish Planning Tools & Official Feeds
Use the wiki pages and Steam hubs. There is no in-wiki mythic value calculator.
How to Fish does not ship a companion app with a fish-weight calculator, a trick-shot parabola solver, or a gear DPS spreadsheet. This hub points at the wiki pages and official Steam feeds that actually track the live game through PATCH 1.0.12. If a third-party site asks you to log into Steam to unlock a rod calculator, close it.
What this wiki actually hosts
Use these pages as the working tools:
- Fish Locations — island and bait checklist for Collector and Fishipedia.
- Island Guide — unlock order, shops, Radar rules after 1.0.5.
- Walkthrough — trophy chain from Empty Beer Can to Whale Fin.
- Boss Fights — bait table and stun windows.
- Difficulty Settings — Easy / Normal / Hard math from Patch 1.0.9.
- Skins — Reel of Fortune tables, not redeemable codes.
- Gear Hub and Weapons — rods and guns that exist in shops.
- Troubleshooting — saves, Steam Relay, black screen, 1.0.10 ground cap.
- Updates Hub — official patch wording through 1.0.12.
What this wiki will not pretend to host
There is no dropdown that prices a mythic albino by kilogram. Official notes do not publish per-fish sell tables or weather spawn charts. Drip variants use the same bait as the normal form; treat rainbow names as the rare layer and log them in the in-game encyclopedia (Tab).
There is no planner that outputs the perfect bounce angle. Trick shots are a physics toy. Practice on rocks, do not paste a trajectory into a fake tool.
There is no loadout checker that certifies you for Mutated Bowhead Whale. Buy attachments on the Island 5 Assault Rifle, cook a heal pile, and read Boss Fights. Patch 1.0.10 lets you leave that pile on the ground (64 items, quest gear prioritized).
Official and community feeds
- Steam store — buy, news, hubs.
- Steam news — patch notes. Restart Steam after each hotfix.
- Steam discussions — player reports. Treat them as reports, not as patch text.
- Steam guides — player writeups. Cross-check island names against this wiki’s five-island route.
- SteamDB — concurrent-player charts (launch peak near 373,971 on 26 August 2026).
- Community Discord from Dazed Games — #common-bugs for red Steam Relay text (Patch 1.0.9) and save-deletion steps if 1.0.9 did not recover a file.
Print the version from player.log after 1.0.10 if a lobby refuses mixed builds.
