Fishing Tables
Uncommon Fish
The Size entry in this table is the largest size that has been observed anywhere in Egypt at the peak time. Sizes vary by fish type and location, mostly in 64x64 grids, so other locations may peak at much smaller sizes. The peak times and best lures for each fish type should be the same throughout Egypt.
If you catch a larger fish than those listed here, or a fish not in the table at all, please update the table.

(*) Skill requirement can be tested by asking someone with Skill 1 to fish at the same location. Rod is usually obvious. Speed is less obvious — the listed value is the minimum required to reliably catch the fish without receiving any "not quick enough" messages.
