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.
For now, though, we are going to go over where to find all 28 fish currently available on the map.
- Orange, Green, Blue Flopper: The group of Floppers are the most common fish in Fortnite and can be found in any fishing hole on the map with any kind of rod.
- Black and Blue Shield Fish: The most common type of Shield Fish, the Black and Blue version is caught anywhere on the map with any type of rod.
- Black Striped Shield Fish: Only found in coastal areas of Fortnite, which means any fishing spot located along the edge of the map. A popular coastal area to catch fish is just east of Sanctuary. The Black Striped Shield Fish is caught with any rod.
- Pink Shield Fish: The Pink Shield Fish can be caught anywhere on the map but requires a Pro Fishing Rod to reel in.
- Green Shield Fish: To match the color of the Green Shield Fish, it can only be caught in forest areas of Fortnite. This basically means any area with dense tree cover and a fishing hole. While there aren’t many forest areas on the Chapter 2 map, there are some great fishing spots below the trees at The Joneses. Players can use any kind of rod to reel in this fish.
- Light Blue Shield Fish: Rounding out the Shield Fish is the Light Blue version, which can be caught anywhere on the map with any rod.

- Black Small Fry: The next version of the Small Fry can also be caught anywhere on the map but only at nighttime. Players can use any rod for this job.
- Blue Small Fry: The Blue Small Fry is another coastal area-only fish. Sweaty Sands, Sanctuary, and any other beach are where players will have to take their standard or Pro fishing rod.

- Peely Jellyfish: The Peely Jellyfish requires the use of a Pro Fishing Rod and can only be caught in mountainous areas of Fortnite.
- Purple Jellyfish: The last of the Jellyfish is the Purple version, which is only found in coastal areas but players don’t have to use a Pro Fishing Rod this time around.
- Purple and Orange Thermal Fish: The Purple and Orange version can be caught anywhere on the map but it has an increased population around The Joneses POI. A rod of any kind will do.
- Raven Thermal Fish: This type of Thermal Fish needs a Pro Fishing Rod to catch. Moreover, players have to visit a coastal area in order to reel it in.

That’s every fish currently available in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 2. Most of the fish don’t require a Pro Fishing Rod or a specific location but those that do can be tricky to catch. If players are struggling to catch a certain fish, there’s not much they can do besides look at the list above, go to the right location with the right rod, and keep trying.
