Wondering what all the Fortnite fish locations are in Chapter 3 Season 3? This guide will run you through where to find all 23 fishes, so you can add them to your in-game collection as fast as possible.
How to Catch Fish
Fish can be caught by tracking down fishing holes. These are circles in the water of bubbles or ripples and have fish floating around them beneath the surface.
You can catch fish at a fishing hole by using a Harpoon, Fishing Rod, or Pro Fishing Rod. You can also throw a grenade at a fishing spot, but this will only get you ammo and rusty cans, no fish.
Some fish, noted below, can only be caught by using the Pro Fishing Rod, so keep this in mind.
