Introduced in Genshin Impact's Version 2.1 update, Fishing has grown to be a favourite past time for many of the users. Including all fish types, bait needs, sites, and how to use fish for rewards, this guide will equip you with all you need know about Genshin Impact fishing.
Starting Fishing in Genshin Impact requires first unlocking the Serenitea Pot, your personal teapot realm. Once you have the Serenitea Pot, finish a World Quest including Mondstadt Fishing Association member Nantuck. This mission will open the fishing system and introduce you to the fundamentals.
In Genshin Impact, fishing calls for you to create Bait from particular ingredients. Every kind of bait l draws different Fish species. There are four kinds of bait accessible here:
Bait from Fruit Paste
Redrot's bait
Falseworm Bait
Real Fly Bait
Sugardew Baiter
Sour Bait
Mek Bait's Flashing Maintenance
Fishing points dot Teyvat, shown by a ripple effect in the sea. The ripple effect vanishes in absence of fish. Every 72 hours fresh fish respawn.
Along with their difficulty level, Genshin Impact's entire list of all fish types is broken out by the bait needed to capture them:

Cooking
You can process excess fish through Genshin Impact's cooking mechanism to produce usable fish cooking items. These items can provide various buffs and effects when consumed.
Serenitea Pot
You can display Ornamental fish in your Serenitea Pot using the Furnishing, "Pool of Sapphire Grace." Ornamental fish are indicated by those that leap while in Fishing Points.
Trading with Fishing Associations
You can trade fish with Fishing Associations in each region for rewards, such as new fishing rods. These rods offer different effects when used. For example, the Windtangler from the Mondstadt Fishing Association shortens the time fish struggle as long as you stay within the Ideal Tension Zone.
With all the fish available in Genshin Impact, you'll have plenty to keep in your Serenitea Pot, process for cooking resources, or trade for valuable rewards. Happy fishing!
