Welcome to Elderfield Fishing: Every Fish, Bait and Spot

Fishing needs a rod with the right bait equipped for that body of water. Once a fish bites, a meter appears and you click while the arrow crosses the blue bar until the progress bar fills. Rod tier gates which spots you can work, so the upgrade path below matters more than bait luck.

Where to catch Fog Eel

Fog Eel is one of the most-searched catches in the demo because it does not show up on a worm. It is a Lakefront fish and it takes Leech; season is All and it bites at any hour. It sells for 20g at base quality. If you are cycling worms at the Lakefront and only pulling Ghost Flounder and Rock-Dweller, that is the reason.
