Umama Ali spent more time as a kid arguing with his brother over who caused the most chaos in GTA Vice City than doing homework, and he’s been unapologetically hooked on games ever since. That childhood obsession eventually became a career. After over five years writing content for a variety of sites and serving as an editor at a content agency, he joined GameRant in 2023 to finally focus on what he loves most: video games. Outside of gaming and writing, he’s a The Office superfan who will happily defend Dwight Schrute as the best sitcom character ever, and has probably memorized enough of his quotes to run his own beet farm someday.
How to Fish has five islands to explore, and each one has its own creatures to catch. You start on the Lighthouse, where only a handful of creatures are available. Once you travel to the other islands, the list gets much bigger. There are over 40 creatures in the game, and catching all of them is required if you want to 100% the game. Below, we have listed all the creatures you can catch in How to Fish.
