Fisch Fish Radar – How to get and use the best tool in Fisch

Unless you know the whole bestiary like the back of your hand, you’ll rarely know how to find a fish in Fisch. That’s where the Fisch Fish Radar comes in.

The Fisch Fish Radar (yes, it’s a mouth full) is the best tool in the game. At the very least it’ll keep you from trawling the internet and asking everyone you find how to get that one super specific catch for the Angler.

How to get the Fish Radar in Fisch

You can grab the Fish Radar in Fisch as soon as you start playing. So long as you have the 8,000 coins to pay for it, you can buy it from the pier outside Moosewood Village.

Short on cash? Here’s the best rod in Fisch for making money as a newbie.

Unless you’ve changed your spawn point, it’s right, it’s just a few steps from where you’ll appear as soon as you log into the game.

Just walk up to it and press the button prompt. Confirm you’re willing to pony up the cash and it’s yours.

How to use the Fish Radar in Fisch

Once you’ve acquired the Fish Radar, you just need to equip it—either by pressing the numbered item bar slot it’s in or by pressing the “Open Backpack” text just above the bar and locating it there.

With it in your hand, just click your main button (tap on touchscreen, left-click on PC, etc) to activate it. You can equip any other item once it’s active and keep the effects. Just repeat the process to turn it off.

What does the Fish Radar do in Fisch?

Activating the Fish Radar highlights the exact spaces you’ll need to cast your rod to find a particular fish.

For example, it’ll show that just tossing your rod into the pond in Moosewood Village isn’t the best way to catch a specific fish. Specimens like Pike, Carp, and Goldfish are all easier to find in the spots you’ll see marked while the Fish Radar is active.

You’ll still need to meet conditions like bait, weather, time of day, and rod to reel in the fish named on a specific spot, but you’ll stand a better chance of reeling in that specific spot.
