    Multiple reports; shooting fish by any means counts as 'using the fishing line' :)

    sportjames23 reports they had some fish vanished from him, forcing him to re-catch them
    **RECCOMENDED TO KEEP ALL FISH IN INVENTORY TO ACT AS A 'TRACKER'**

    **DO NOT SELL ALL YOUR FISH STRAIGHT AWAY!!

    There are three altars that require you to hand in fish for them;
    10 Bullhead (Small)
    - Found a pond near a Mysteries marker to the very west of Glowecestre, right on the border with Hamtunscire, that's full of them.
    - Found another pond. West side of Essexe, Lake House has two ponds. It's above and to the right of Brentwood Outpost.

    5 Brown Trout (Small)
    10 Bullhead (Small) [Yes, there are two!! of these so you'll need 20]
    Additionally there's a Mystery that asks for an eel. Thanks JBoge91 :: For the mystery requiring an Eel, you can catch one right off the dock next to his house.

    To save you coin, here's the contents of the 'Fantastic Fishes and Where to Find Them, Parts I-III'

    Read additional tips at the bottom of this solution, please do read them.

    You'll need to build you fishing hut in Ravensthorpe so the lad gives you a fishing line, then you can just hot-foot it to these areas and fish as you go. You should be able to cut and paste this list into notepad or something similar as you can sell the fish/hand them in towards rewards back at Ravensthorpe.

    Further, you don't need to catch each size, one of each fish is enough.

    Part I
    Halibut - Coasts of Grantebridgescire // East Anglia // Lincolnscire // Eurvicscire
    Shad - Coasts of Grantebridgescire // East Anglia // Lincolnscire // Eurvicscire
    Haddock - Coasts of Grantebridgescire // East Anglia // Lincolnscire // Eurvicscire
    Cod - Coasts of East Anglia // Cent // Essexe
    Perch - Rivers in Ledecestrecscire // Grantebridgescire // East Anglia // Oxenefordscire // Sciropescire // Snotinghamscire
    Eel - Rivers in Ledecestrecscire // Grantebridgescire // East Anglia // Oxenefordscire // Sciropescire
    Bullhead - Rivers in Ledecestrecscire // Grantebridgescire // East Anglia // Oxenefordscire // Sciropescire // Eurviscsire // Glowecestrescire // Snotinghamscire
    Brown Trout - Rivers in Ledecestrecscire // Sciropescire // Lincolnscire // Eurviscsire // Glowecestrescire // Snotinghamscire

    Part II
    Flatfish - Coasts of Cent // Essexe // Suthsexe // Hamtunscire
    Bream - Coasts of Cent // Essexe // Suthsexe // Hamtunscire
    Pollock (POLLOCK) - Rivers in Cent // Essexe // Suthsexe // Hamtunscire
    Burbot - Rivers in Oxeneforscire // Cent // Sciropescire // Suthsexe // Glowecestrescire // Hamtunscire
    Salmon - Rivers in Lincolnscire // Eurvicscire // Snotinghamscire
    Grey Trout - Rivers in Cent // Essexe // Suthsexe // Hamtunscire
    Sturgeon - Rivers and seas Cent // Suthsexe // Hamtunscire


    Part III - ALL IN Rygafylke and Hordafylke (Norway, you can travel back by going to 'World' tab then pressing cn_Y for atlas.)
    Redfish
    Mackerel
    Hake
    Arctic Char
    - This has been additionally reported by VanGeko to be found in Suthsexe

    Might be worth noting that getting a boat and going into the rivers seems to have a bit more variety that just river bank fishing. Especially for the wider rivers.

    Thanks LaB1 ::
    Two things I'd like to add about my experience. One, I had collected a couple fish with bow and arrow and it still counted.

    The second thing is that when I would fast travel or arrive at a powerpyx coastal fish location, more often than not, the fish would not be there or load in and vanish. What eventually worked for me was waiting in the area without moving until Eivor's crow landed on his arm. Around then, the fish would spawn.

    This was for the coastal fish. Saving/loading, animus, approaching on foot and restart game did not help. This was on a series X

    I KICKER I has confirmed (as can I) you don't need to catch all the sizes of fish.
    Thanks YaT0 and WantedHeretic for pointing out the missing Flatfish was my mistake leaving it out of Part II :)

    Not a fan of linking other people's work in my own guides as this is my work, not theirs, but someone's posted a link to PowerPyx's pictures of some locations for each fish.

    Goggs25@Rkranl I'll go further fishing achievements in any game thats not a fishing game is a load of crap. fishing in this game does not add anything to the story it makes the game worst.

    FoolsAndKingsCheers. Can confirm using bow and arrow works to catch them easier. I caught last 4 like that

    The other guide is good. However, I found that just a list of locations to find fish wasn’t working for me as I couldn’t find about 6 of the species and I went all over the map looking. In the end this YouTube video (which I take no credit for) helped me quickly knock out the ones I was missing. I just wish I had found it sooner as it would’ve saved me a ton of time.

    Crossy1986Worked perfectly for me, the only one I had issues with was the Redfish, in the end I looked online for some alternative locations and found a load of them to the east of Stavengar

    xWaZZySsiKnEsSxThanks for finding the easy to follow guide. Only needed like 6 fish by time I started searching and this video got me each one at the specified location!

    The other guides cover all the fish locations well so I won't repeat those.

    I got this achievement without using the fishing line. Mine was bugged anyway since if you customize the controls you are unable to even cast your fishing line.

    I completed this by just using the bow and arrow which is so much faster. You will need a perk in the Yellow tree called "Raven's Loot" this will allow your raven to loot anything that you shoot with an arrow (including fish!). This skill was added in with a DLC update. It is in the separate Yellow category near the bottom left.

    My advice is to use Odin's sight and then aim at a fish with your bow (repeat every time before you shoot so you don't waste arrows).

    HolyHalfDeadPretty much the advice given to you at the docks in Fornburg by the Norse Woman, near the start of the game. “I lack the patience for pole fishing. I would have better luck with my bow. Shooting fish with a bow? That could work.”

    I found just jumping in a pond and flailing around gets you fish much quicker than using a bow and arrow. Doesn’t work for the fish only found in big rivers.
