Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (ACV) has 19 Fish Locations. Getting all 19 Fish unlocks the Good Catch! trophy or achievement. This guide shows where to find all Fish Locations.
You can keep track of what you’ve fished in the Inventory Bag of your Inventory Menu. Scroll down to Trade Goods and the first entries you see are your fish.
First you need to build the Fishing Hut in your Settlement. After doing so, a fishing rod will appear in your Inventory Wheel. Anytime you’re near a body of water (lake, pond, river, sea), you can equip it by pressing 
on your D-Pad and then move your right analog stick to the fishing rod. Then, cast a line into the water and when your controller vibrates, press 
/ 
to hook your catch and use your left stick to steer and pull it towards you. If the line turns red, let go of / and the analog stick until the red flash disappears otherwise your catch might unhook itself. In order to unlock the Good Catch trophy / achievement you need to use your fishing rod. Using explosives or arrows on fish won’t count.
When possible, we’ve added more than one location of a fish type, so you can just rotate between them if necessary. For the trophy / achievement just any size is enough.
Here’s a few tips and tricks on how to effectively fish:
- There’s more fish when the water gets deeper. As a result, it’s better to fish from a wooden boat. When this is not possible, fishing from the shore is enough. Just prioritize fishing from boats when possible.
- Use your Odin’s Sight (
/ ) to see how many fish there are at a fishing point. Your Odin’s Sight is also useful to see when a fish is getting closer to your hook. - Meditate on the boat or on the coast if fish are not spawning at a given location.
- Using fast-travel can sometimes reveal different fish types.

The fish on the coast are not spawning..any fix for this??
Try meditating in the area.
The fish EVERYWHERE aren’t spawning in any reasonable number … in the sizes we need, anyway : After two hours of screwing around I’ve got 38 Flatfish (small), 28 Flatfish (regular)
No matter where I go the story is always the same – few or *no* fish
WHO KNEW THAT THE WATERS OF ENGLAND WERE SO OVERFISHED IN THE VIKING TIMES ???
On a serious note we are both having this problem
No fish spawns.. Also no big flatfish at your map locations, ive found flatfish at 2 other spots but the spawns are so f*d i cant fish..
A Great place for brown trout and salmon is a lake around Olikana Tower has a fast travel and is in Eurvicscire
Potential fix for the fish not spawning..i disconnected my internet via the ps4 and then fast travelled to the places i needed fish from and they were all there..hope this helps
Doesn’ work. They spawned, but instantly they disappear…
If you fast travel to a spot to fish and your boat goes with you, it’ll disrupt the fish spawn. Try fast traveling to spots other than harbor then travel by horse. Worked for me in Norway.
Fish not spawning here either.
No suggested fux works.
Ive the same problem about fish disappearing.
Then i complete my current arc( east anglia). After that all the fishes are back.
Is there any other location where the Bream will spawn?
I walked to the lighthouse of dofras. There are Breams and others fishes
Same here.. No fish on any coast… So many bugs.. I hate this game.. 😑😑😒
I managed to get the trophy, I had to fish river then ported to look at the ocean and boom, can only try but worked for me
What did you do exactly? didn’t understood
yeah im with andre pisco what the F are you talking about?
Come on guys, what didn’t you understand? You have to fish river and then port! What didn’t you get : ) lol
I have got all the fish, but I have issues with 3 of the big versions, flatfish, redfish and mackerel, just don’t seem to spawn.
Also I shot char with bow and chev popped, hadn’t caught any on line
Same wit me
FYI: Ubisoft knows about the fishes not spawning or disappearing on the coasts. It’s a bug that’s on their list.
Fish are still buggy the ones on the coasts are and are not spawning. Do you have to catch a fish of each size as well as each kind?
size doesn’t matter for the trophy
Bream wasn’t spawning for me at Folcanstan. I played Orlog and the fish appeared for a very short while. I then went idle and had the raven on my shoulder while the camera spun. When I came out of that the fish had appeared again, allowing me to catch a bream and get the trophy.
We have to collect bullhead small alone?? Or bug and standard too??
Completely no need to actully use fish rods. Bows still work. Achievement still popped
which you could just buy fish from , you know the fish guy at the homestead…
Not for this trophy but for the two offering altars that require 10 small bullhead each. been to the various locations listed but can’t find them consistantly
Got all the fish. No trophy.
Tip for anyone still not able to find fish spawn in coasts : go to the nearest area where a river meets that area of the ocean, you’ll find them spawn there. For example, I couldn’t get Flatfish to spawn in the coast of Hamtunscire. So I went to the meeting point of the river and the ocean right at Humtun Blockade and found them spawn there. Good luck finding other fish like this!
I only had bream left for the Good Catch trophy, but it just wouldn’t spawn for me at the location shown by PowerPyx. I watched YouTube videos and they also told me to go to the same location, but they’d never spawn for me even after the 1.1.0 update.
What I did was to fast travel to the Folcanstan dock with my longship. As others have said, this wouldn’t spawn any fish because of the longship being there. Immediately after I fast-travelled there, I looked for a small wooden boat and took it to the spot marked by PowerPyx. I then just stood on the boat with the fishing line ready in my hands. It must have been a good 20 mins to 30 mins wait until I could see a fish jump out of the water swimming around. I immediately threw my fish line in and pulled it out. Got a Sturgeon. Then when I put the line back in, the fish all vanished. So waited on the boat at the exact same spot for another 20 mins, and then heard the fish jumping again. This time I threw the fish line in and got my bream and my trophy. Got my platinum with that, thanks to PowerPyx!
Got all the fish, twice! Did not get the achievement. Well, this sucks.
I was having an issue with this achievement – watched videos on YT on locations, tried entering and exiting the animus, reloading saves, meditating to no avail.
I’ve managed to get the achievement to pop by fast travelling to the dock north east of Rouecistre Fortress in Cent, leaving the long boat there. Fast travelled to the point west of Beamasfield and riding down to Folcanstan. Once I got there all the fish had spawned permanently, I managed to catch the bream fish on the beach about 116m from the store seller.
I cannot find Regular haddok if my life depended on it
it seems when high waves are spawn , no fish is there
then have to wait for ocean to calm .. annoying as f
Last trophy I needed, so thank you for the guide! ;D
Wow this game is straight trash. Wasting time doing a side mission that literally does nothing for you other than to waste time. Can’t get any of the large fish that are still bugged to this day.. way to turn out a unfinished piece of garbage Ubisoft
Same no big flatfish makral sturgeon
This is just a time waster of a trophy its litterly all I have left
So i went to the location for Cod… after catching about 20 fish… didnt catch cod… but i had halibut, haddock, bream, shad and a random bullhead… i did eventually get a cod… after about 30 mins
You’ve actually got fish showing up, I can’t even get that far
Does anyone know if you have to be carrying all the fish at once or can you give some to the fisherman kid and it still count?
It will still count.
I found both big and regular sturgeon at the dock southwest from Brimclif Monastery about half way towards Brerdinges Roman Ruins tonight, previously I had seen the big version there but this time got a regular and needed that one to finish that particular turn-in.
who is looking for the trophy : The size is not required. just focus on catch one fish of all types and the trophy is yours
Thanks! This guide was quite straightforward 🥳
Some of your Bullhead pic are not working correctly.
It seems this somehow ended up linking to the wrong picture when clicking it. It’s fixed now, thank you for reporting this!
(Also rechecked all other pictures, those are all good).
Got the trophy by just fishing deep parts of the rivers and then fishing on the coast lines of cent and Hamtunscire. Had a few issues trying to catch sturgeons but no problems any other time
You can catch every single fish that you’re looking for all within 15 minutes if you just fish in Asgard. Go to the island where you fight friend rare all the way on the western side do you want to see the fish when you hit our three but trust me they’re there. You just have to wait like eight minutes then the each pop-up one after the next happy fishing!
