Fortnite Chapter 3 Season 2 – Fish Locations And How To Catch Them

Fishing in Fortnite has remained a big part of the battle royale game ever since it was introduced with the launch of Chapter 2. Players have a fishing collection, which documents and tracks all of the fish players have managed to catch in Fortnite. Once players have caught a fish, it will register in their collection and even explain where it can be caught on the map. A top weight will also be assigned to each fish, which gives a rating of one, two, or three stars. Players who want to fully complete their collection will start out not knowing how to catch many of the available fish in Fortnite. In the fishing collection, players will see some blacked-out boxes. To fill in these boxes, players need to find and catch the specific fish that goes there.

For players who want to try and earn three stars on every fish or simply see their fishing collection filled out, they’ll need to know where to find every available fish in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2. The list below will show players exactly this, along with what rod they need to use to reel in the scaly creatures.

Every Fish in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2

In total, there are 28 available fish to catch in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2. This is the number as of April 18, 2022 but players should keep in mind that Epic Games are always adding new fish to the game. It’s likely that by the time Season 2 is over, there will be more than 28 fish in Fortnite.
