Ponds, streams, and a range of freshwater habitats throughout Hernand. Available from the Rodbel Fishing Dock shop run by Hailard for 27 Copper. Once you discover this species, its location is marked in the Knowledge menu under Creatures > Aquatic Creatures. Select "Open Map" to see the exact fishing spot on your world map.
The Pond Loach can be caught with the Basic Fishing Rod purchased from any fishing shop for 15 Copper. It can also be grabbed by bare hands in shallow water, since it falls within the beginner difficulty tier. Cast your line into any suitable body of water and follow the standard fishing minigame: wait for a bite, hook the fish, tire it out by pulling in the opposite direction, then reel it in when the splashing stops.
Cooking: Can be cleaned into Fish Fillet at a campfire or butchery station. Fish Fillet is the key ingredient in dishes like Fish Porridge, Battered Fish, Fish Skewers, and Grilled Meat and Fish.
Selling: Can be sold to vendors. Small fish sell for modest amounts, but cooking them into meals significantly increases their value.
Knowledge: Fills a Knowledge Codex entry under Freshwater Fish in the Creatures > Aquatic Creatures section.
If you do not want to fish for it, the Pond Loach can be purchased at a fishing shop for 27 Copper.
Bare-hands fishing in shallow water is the fastest way to gather this species for cooking ingredients.
Once discovered, use the Knowledge menu's "Open Map" feature to quickly locate this species again on your world map.
Selling cooked dishes made from fish is more profitable than selling the raw catch. Cook at the nearest campfire and sell in Hernand for a steady income.
