AC Valhalla Best Fishing Spots
Updated:
19 Oct 2021

Aside from the big treasures of England and the raids you can do all day, Assassin's Creed Valhalla also gives you a chance to try and live as a Viking in a peaceful way - fishing. 

You read that right, fishing is one of the best ways to take a break from your conquest of England. It is a great pastime if you are having a tough time beating the big bosses in the game or if you just want to take a break from Eivor’s killing spree.

When you build your home in England, you may notice that there are a lot of fishermen in your settlement and you even have a dedicated fisherman who works to keep Raventshorpe’s supply up and running. I had my fair share of fishing and while I never took a focus on it, it is still fun to do and more of a challenge than trying to beat the game. Fishing takes time and patience, but knowing where to find your fish should make the job easy.

Here are the top seven fishing spots where you can enjoy the best fishing experience:

 

7. Rygjafylke and Hordafylke (Norway)

Where it all began...

Most players would not waste time exploring the icy blocks of Norway and would go on with the story right away. However, if you ever came back to Norway at Sigurd’s behest in the closing parts of the game, you should not waste this second chance and try to fish in Norway.

This is still seen as a two-in-one location since they are not that far from each other and there is a great sea expanse where you can try to fish. Just try not to freeze when you are busy fishing in the middle of the cold front.

What is Great about Rygjafylke and Hordafylke:

  • Only place to catch rare fish such as Arctic Char, Hake, Mackerel, and Redfish
  • Big location allows you to traverse any part of the sea
  • Use of the longship to travel in deeper waters yields better catches

6. Sciropescire

Just another day of fishin’

You may have to wait for a while and progress further in the story before you try to fish in this area. When you have leveled up and have taken on quests in this area, then it is safe for you to go and try to fish in this spot.

Sciropescire is just a little bit left of Ledescestersire and you can see two lakes in this area which are the best spots for fishing the likes of Brown Trout, Bullhead, Burbot, Eel, and Perch. 

What is Great about Sciropescire:

  • You can still use a boat to go into the deep water
  • Very close to your settlement
  • Accessible by boat or horse

5. Essexe

Casual fishing at its finest

Essexe is one of the early regions you can get access to, so this makes it easy for you to try to fish in that spot. You can find this region just south of Grantedbridgescire and is linked to both the coast of England and a handful of rivers. 

The best way to make the best catches here is to take a boat through the rivers and go all the way to the coastline. If it does not work, you can always go back to the part of the river near the ruins.

What is Great about Essexe:

  • You can catch Bream, Cod, and Flatfish off the coast, while Grey Trout and Polluck can be found in the rivers.
  • Still close to Ravensthorpe so you can bring the longship here for easy travel
  • Well connected to other regions, and it makes your region switches faster

4. Hamtunscire

Travels worth fishing for

Hamtunscire is one of what you would consider a tourist spot in the game. Aside from the fact that it will take you some time before you can get to it, the region has a lot of small lakes for you to choose from. Each of those lakes has a lot of fish in it and you can say it is very much worth it.

You can find it just a little bit to the left of Suthsexe and south of Oxenfordschire. Flatfish, Sturgeon, and Bream can be found off the coast and Grey Trout, Pollock, Sturgeon, and Burbot are in the rivers.

What is Great about Hamtunscire:

  • Very rewarding area to fish if you are patient
  • Offers a lot of fish in rivers, coast and even lakes
  • River connection makes it easy for your ship to go in

Totally worth the wait

 

3. Cent

Murky fishing for good measure

Another region that is worth the wait is Cent. You will get access to this region as soon as Fulke comes into play in the story. The best part of this region is its coastline since you have a big body of water to scale.

This spot has a lot of fish varieties for you to choose from. Bream, Cod, Flatfish, and Sturgeon can be found along the coast, and the rivers are filled with Burbot, Grey Trout, Pollock, and a whole lot more of Sturgeon. This should give you a lot of work to do in fishing.

What is Great about Cent:

  • Lots of fish all around
  • Key spots in the region has bigger fish as well
  • The coastline is easy for your boat to reach

Fine fishing made for the best

 

2. Lincolnscire

Off-shore fishing looks great

Lincolnscire is second on the list for good reason: you can enjoy a fair amount of fish in this area and there are a lot of small islands that will serve as your throwing point. This is a good spot for you as long as you are patient with the constant rains there.

This spot is at the top of the map to the right of Eurvicscire. This has a lot of rivers and single access to the coast. There are a few inland lakes in the region that has the big catches, so this is a great pick for you.

If you want to catch some Salmon, Brown Trout, Bullhead, and Perch, the rivers are the best place for you while Haddock and Halibut can be found on the coast.

What is Great about Lincolnscire:

  • Easy access from all directions
  • Small islands are good for throwing hooks
  • Deep river means bigger fishes

Good fish hunting

 

1. East Anglia

Hunting on the coast

Nothing beats the closest region you have to Ravensthorpe as this only needs you to be within the range of level 55. East Anglia is one of the early areas you can visit and has a very long coastline with a few rivers all around as well.

This region gives you a lot of options, such as Bullhead, Eel, and Perch in the rivers. When you want some deep-sea fishing, try the ones near the coastline and you can get yourself some Cod, Haddock, Halibut, and Shad.

What is Great about East Anglia:

  • You can fish there in the early game
  • Wide variety of fish to catch
  • Training ground for fishing

East Anglia Details:

Easy fishing made deluxe

There are other regions out there that may offer you some good catches as well. Depending on how patient you are when it comes to fishing, every nook and cranny in the game that has a body of water in it may lead you to some rare fish in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
