is fly fishing REALLY better?

Featured Replies

question: is fly fishing the quickest way to raise ure fishing lvl?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i heard that a cupla times and i was wondering if it was true. i really hate waiting for lobs. btw i am now ftp as of yesterday, so i cant go to shilo village. I dont care that trout and salmon are useless, cuz all i want now is exp not money. I really need to powerfish to get 76 fishing. I bet this has been discussed many times but i failed to retreive similar topics when i typed in "fly fishing" in the search box

 

 

 

thank you very much if you respond to this topic and clear up my confusion

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fyi: my fishing lvl is 74

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit: oh ya, can any1 give me a good fly fishing place with multiple spots in ftp? i dont care if its far from bank, as ill be giving the fishies away or dropping em, thx

Which FF Character Are You?

 

I dont play FF, but i wanted to know what they described me as.

It is the fastest fishing exp, but salmon and trout are near useless, so I would advice fishing Monkfish which you can sell and cook later.

Search button is horrible so don't worry about it.

 

 

 

I went from 71-76 fishing in 5 days at barbarian village, glory teleing to edge then running down to fish.

 

 

 

I didn't do shilo so that's why i was there.

 

 

 

I've heard monkfish give close or more xp than sharks and are as fast as lobs.

 

 

 

Try monkfish if you can get there, if not stick with lobs.

Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool

If you don't care about money or cooking experience (mostly the time it takes to cook all the salmon/trout) go with Fly Fishing. The previous people had some good advice for that. It truly is the fastest experience possible.

For money do Monkfish

 

 

 

If you want purely xp, do Fly Fishing (Shilo or Barbarian Village are the best spots)

Expecting a good life because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge because you're a vegetarian.

i would say edgeville if your f2p.

Definitely fasted. If you are training later, this is good because you can use the fish. If not, some low level pures use salmon (occasionally trout) for pking so they will sometimes buy.

ya, I use the barb village method and just today sold a lot of trout like 100 at a time for 30-50 each and a few hundred salmon for 25 each. (cooked)

Yes, fly fishing is the fastest fishing experience. Since you said you are F2P, you should fish at Barberian Village. If you don't care whether you keep the fish or not, then try to get some friends to come and collect the fish from you as it is a lot faster to trade then drop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you ever get membership, I advise doing the Shilo Village quest as soon as you can, due to the close bank to the fly fishing areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Fishing!

wheres the fly fishing spot in edgeville?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are no fishing spots in Edgeville. He meant south of Edge along the river in Barbarian Village.

Yes fly fishing is the best way to power fish, it even says in the tip.it skill guide about fishing

 

 

 

fly fishing is better exp then fishing minks at level 91+!

Yes but it can be a pain to get feathers if you dont buy, but when you fly fish you get lik 2x more xp then lobbies :thumbsup:

I have to disagree with the people who say "fly fishing is the fastest way to fish".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's true that it is fast at the author's level, but what really makes it fast is your fishing level. There won't be many players fishing at Shilo or Barbarian Village when they have a level of 85+ because from that point on, fly fishing is slow. They could catch a single Monkfish a lot faster than a Trout/Salmon, plus it gives a lot more xp.

Only other fastest way is bait fishing for pike. And it's a little slower.

That's not true that many people don't train fishing at 85+ through fly fishing. I've met so many people going for 99 there, and a handful that have achieved 99 while I was fishing there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's still faster than monkfish even at higher levels from what everyone I met has said.
