Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Fishing Spot Search
Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter fishing spot search becomes available after receiving fishing equipment and bait in Ruan. Fishing points are marked by visible ripples or bubbles on the water. Approach the water, interact with the active point, and choose an available rod and bait combination.
Video Highlights:
- Ruan fishing access and the first fishing tutorial
- How ripples identify designated fishing locations
- Rod, bait, timing, and reeling basics
- Early fish catches using the Progress Rod and Marine Star
Look for animated ripples rather than checking every shoreline. The fishing point is usually placed beside a path, dock, bridge, or open beach area.
The first tutorial explains that fish availability changes according to the selected rod and bait. When a fish bites, press the action button with the correct timing to hook it. Continue holding and adjusting the line as needed until the fish is reeled in.
| Fishing Element | What to Check | Practical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Water ripples | Moving bubbles or surface rings | Confirms an active fishing point |
| Rod | Progress Rod or Marine Star | Controls available fish groups |
| Bait | Worm, shrimp, crab, or Kasago | Expands the catch table |
| Hook timing | Press when the bite prompt appears | Starts the catch sequence |
| Reeling | Hold and adjust as prompted | Completes the catch |
Ruan
The first major fishing area. North and South Ruan offer overlapping fish tables with different maximum ranks.
Air Letten
A convenient route location with Crab, Gold Angelfish, Sea Bass, Trout, and Eel.
Sapphirl Tower
The fifth floor contains a small fishing point with Crab, Gold Angelfish, and Octopus.
Manoria Routes
Manoria Village and the Varenne Lighthouse path provide several medium and large fish.
Ruan and Air Letten Fishing Locations
Ruan is the most useful starting area because it contains two documented fishing points and introduces the basic fishing systems. The North Ruan and South Ruan tables are similar, but their maximum fish ranks are not identical.
Some entries in the available guide list additional bait as unspecified. Do not assume every bait combination is confirmed; test the listed bait first and record successful catches in your notebook.
North Ruan Fishing Spot
The North Ruan point includes six documented fish. Marine Worm and Shrimp are the most broadly useful bait choices here, while Kasago and Earthworm expand the available table.
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Angelfish | Small | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Kasago | Small | A | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Great Blackfish | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp, unspecified |
| Sea Bass | Medium | B | Shrimp, unspecified, Kasago |
| Trout | Medium | C | Earthworm, unspecified, Shrimp |
| Claudine | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Crab, unspecified, Kasago |
South Ruan Fishing Spot
South Ruan contains the same six documented fish, but the maximum ranks differ for Gold Angelfish and Kasago. This makes the southern point useful when improving the best recorded rank for a particular fish.
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Angelfish | Small | A | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Kasago | Small | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Great Blackfish | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp, unspecified |
| Sea Bass | Medium | B | Shrimp, unspecified, Kasago |
| Trout | Medium | C | Earthworm, unspecified, Shrimp |
| Claudine | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Crab, unspecified, Kasago |
Air Letten Fishing Point
Air Letten offers a compact five-fish table. It is particularly useful for finding Eel, which is listed with Earthworm as its bait. Crab can also reach Rank A at this location.
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crab | Small | A | Earthworm, Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Gold Angelfish | Small | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Sea Bass | Medium | B | Shrimp, unspecified, Kasago |
| Trout | Medium | C | Earthworm, unspecified, Shrimp |
| Eel | Medium | C | Earthworm |
Visit both Ruan points before leaving the region, then check Air Letten. This route tests the most common early bait types without requiring a long detour.
Sapphirl Tower and Gull Seaside Way
The Sapphirl Tower and Gull Seaside Way points expand the fishing notebook with large fish and higher-ranked catches. These locations are best approached after the story opens the relevant routes.
The Sapphirl Tower fishing point is listed on the fifth floor. Gull Seaside Way has two separate documented points: a hidden alcove and the beach.
Sapphirl Tower, Fifth Floor
The tower point has only three documented fish, but it is the earliest listed location for Octopus in this route group. The available bait includes Shrimp, Crab, and Kasago for Octopus.
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crab | Small | A | Earthworm, Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Gold Angelfish | Small | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Octopus | Large | B | Shrimp, Crab, Kasago |
Gull Seaside Way, Hidden Alcove
The hidden alcove focuses on Gold Angelfish, Great Blackfish, Sea Bass, and Claudine. Great Blackfish can reach Rank A here, making the spot valuable for rank hunting.
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Angelfish | Small | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Great Blackfish | Medium | A | Marine Worm, Shrimp, unspecified |
| Sea Bass | Medium | B | Shrimp, unspecified, Kasago |
| Claudine | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Crab, unspecified, Kasago |
Gull Seaside Way, Beach
The beach point adds Octopus to the Gull Seaside Way group. Sea Bass reaches Rank A here, while the other listed fish remain at Rank B.
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Angelfish | Small | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Great Blackfish | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp, unspecified |
| Sea Bass | Medium | A | Shrimp, unspecified, Kasago |
| Claudine | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Crab, unspecified, Kasago |
| Octopus | Large | B | Shrimp, Crab, Kasago |
Reach the Fishing Point
Follow the available route to Sapphirl Tower or Gull Seaside Way. Search for ripples or bubbles near the edge of the water.
Choose the Broadest Bait
Start with Marine Worm or Shrimp when testing a new location. These appear across several documented fish tables.
Change Bait for Large Fish
Use Crab, Kasago, or another listed option when targeting Octopus or a fish that does not appear with the first bait.
Record the Highest Rank
Check the Fishing Notebook after each catch and prioritize locations with the better listed maximum rank.
Manoria and Varenne Lighthouse Fishing Route
Manoria provides two additional fishing areas. The village point has a short table centered on Gold Angelfish, Claudine, and Octopus. The Manoria Byroad route toward Varenne Lighthouse offers a broader selection and is useful for filling gaps in the notebook.
Keep several bait types before traveling toward Varenne Lighthouse. The route includes small, medium, and large fish, so relying on one bait may leave entries untested.
Manoria Village
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold Angelfish | Small | A | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Claudine | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Crab, unspecified, Kasago |
| Octopus | Large | B | Shrimp, Crab, Kasago |
Manoria Byroad, Varenne Lighthouse Path
| Fish | Size | Max Rank | Listed Bait |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kasago | Small | A | Marine Worm, Shrimp |
| Great Blackfish | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Shrimp, unspecified |
| Sea Bass | Medium | B | Shrimp, unspecified, Kasago |
| Claudine | Medium | B | Marine Worm, Crab, unspecified, Kasago |
| Octopus | Large | B | Shrimp, Crab, Kasago |
The Manoria Byroad point is a practical cleanup location because it combines Kasago, Great Blackfish, Sea Bass, Claudine, and Octopus. If the Fishing Notebook still has missing entries after visiting Ruan and Gull Seaside Way, check this route before revisiting earlier locations.
Fishing Search Checklist:
- Find the Ruan tutorial fishing point and receive the initial bait
- Check both North Ruan and South Ruan fishing locations
- Visit Air Letten and test Earthworm for Eel
- Search the fifth floor of Sapphirl Tower for Octopus
- Check both Gull Seaside Way points and the Manoria routes
A fish may be listed at more than one location but with a different maximum rank. Record the location and rank together instead of treating duplicate fish names as finished automatically.
Fishing Notebook Tips and FAQ
The best way to complete the fishing search is to compare the location tables with your Fishing Notebook after every route. Focus first on discovering each fish, then return to locations with the higher listed maximum rank.
Use the Fishing Notebook as your final checklist. It helps separate a missing species from a fish that has already been caught but still needs a better rank.
| Goal | Recommended Action | Useful Locations |
|---|---|---|
| Find every documented species | Test common bait first, then switch to location-specific bait | Ruan, Manoria Byroad |
| Improve Gold Angelfish rank | Compare the Rank A locations | South Ruan, Air Letten, Manoria Village |
| Improve Kasago rank | Prioritize the location with the higher listed rank | North Ruan, Manoria Byroad |
| Find Octopus | Use Shrimp, Crab, or Kasago | Sapphirl Tower, Gull Beach, Manoria |
| Find Eel | Test Earthworm at the documented point | Air Letten |
For a source-organized spot list, use the Fishing Spots section of the Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter walkthrough. The guide separates each location and lists fish, size, maximum rank, and known bait combinations.
Q: How do I identify a fishing spot in Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter?
Look for visible ripples or bubbles on the water. These indicate a designated fishing location that can be examined with the fishing command.
Q: Which bait should I try first?
Marine Worm and Shrimp appear across many of the documented tables, so they are practical starting choices. Switch to Earthworm, Crab, or Kasago when targeting specific fish.
Q: Where can I catch Octopus?
The documented locations include Sapphirl Tower's fifth floor, Gull Seaside Way's beach, Manoria Village, and the Manoria Byroad near Varenne Lighthouse.
Q: Do duplicate fish locations have the same rank?
Not always. Gold Angelfish, Kasago, Great Blackfish, and Sea Bass have different listed maximum ranks depending on the fishing point.
