Minnows are a type of fish that can be caught with a small fishing net in the Fishing Guild at level 82 fishing. Players will have to speak to Kylie Minnow in the guild to then travel to the fishing platform, this does also require the full Angler’s outfit and completion of the Fishing Contest quest.
Minnows are stackable, so players are not required to bank during this fishing method. They can later be exchanged for noted raw sharks. At a rate of 1 raw shark per 40 minnows.
Minnow fishing spots move around more than regular net fishing spots. Their up-time is a fixed interval of precisely 25 ticks (or 15.6 seconds), after this time the minnow spot will move 1 tile clockwise. There is a further 1/10 chance that a flying fish will begin jumping out of your fishing spot, this fish will eat 16-26 minnows as long as you keep fishing in the spot. Therefore, it pays to be paying attention if you are here to maximise minnows (sharks) per hour.
Requirements for Minnow Fishing
- 82+ Fishing
- Angler’s Outfit

- Completed the quest Fishing Contest
- Optional; Rada’s Blessing for increased yield
