Full List of Ashfall Bestiary in Fisch
The Ashfall Bestiary in Fisch features nine limited-time fish available only during the Roslit Volcano eruption around coordinates -1435, 125, 460. These include Molten Minnow (Flakes bait, Clear weather), Ember Catfish or Pyro Catfish (Bagel bait, Clear), Cinder Carp (Minnow bait, Clear), Pyro Pike (Shrimp bait, Rain), Lava Lamprey (Insect bait, Rain), Scooty Salmon (Seaweed bait, Windy), Blistered Eel (Worm bait, Windy), Burnt Betta (Squid bait, Windy), and Ashcloud Archerfish (Coal bait, Foggy). All spawn with no specific time or season restrictions.
Before you begin fishing in the Fisch Ashfall event, you must remember that all the fish you catch during this event have a limited rarity. This means you can only catch them during the Volcano eruption. There are no season requirements for the limited-fishes. So, get ready to lock in without distractions.
There are 9 fishes in total in the Ashfall bestiary in Fisch. While all of them spawn only during the volcano eruption aka Ashfall, some of them require different weather types. The bestiary, as we have come to know, contains fish of different varieties. This means not all the fish here will have the same progress speed when catching them.

How to Complete Ashfall Bestiary in Fisch
Fish near Roslit Bay during the volcano eruption in Fisch to target the nine limited-time Ashfall fish. Match each species’ preferred bait, weather, time, and season from available tables, such as shrimp for Pyro Pike in rain or squid for Burnt Betta in windy conditions. Equip rods like Rod of the Depths or Brick with Hasty enchantments, gather totems for weather shifts, and stock Coal Bait from Volcanic Geodes to overcome slow-progress catches like Ashcloud Archerfish.
To catch all the fish from the Ashfall bestiary, you must know the right bait and weather for all. Once you have those in check from our table above, you will also need the best Fisch rods. Yes, if you are using one of the basic rods, the preferred baits will ruin their stats which can delay your chances of catching these fishes. Also Read: The Complete Fisch Bait Guide
One of the best rods in Fisch is the No-Life Rod, which can be perfect for this event since any bait works fine with it. However, if you want to fast-forward your catching progress, get the Rod of the Depths, and for every three catches, you have a guaranteed extra catch. Ello, the Editor stepping in here; I just tried completing the Ashfall bestiary, and I have a quick tip. Use the Brick rod in Fisch, along with coal or a universal luck bait to beat the -90% progress slow of the Ashcloud Archerfish.
As for the baits, select the ones we have mentioned already. While you can always revisit our best Fisch enchants list for the ideal one for this event, I personally recommend Hasty. As the event is limited-time, you must complete the bestiary before it is over. Moreover, you also have a chance to get the Doomsday mutation in the Fisch Ashfall event. But to catch them, you will need better resilience.
If you want to confirm the catch on certain high-rarity fish, you will need specific weather. So, make sure you have weather-changing totems like the Windset, Smokescreen, or Tempest. By using these totems, you can increase your chances at specific fishes such as the Ashcloud Archerfish or Burnt Betta.
Which baits catch each Ashfall fish fastest
Fastest baits for Ashfall Bestiary fish prioritize preferred baits that maximize luck and progress speed, paired with rods like No-Life Rod or Brick Rod to avoid penalties. Use weather totems to match conditions, and high-luck alternatives like Weird Algae for tough catches like Ashcloud Archerfish.
Optimal Baits by Fish
These baits yield the highest catch rates based on event data:
| Fish | Fastest Bait(s) | Weather | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ember Catfish | Bagel | Clear | Common; low-luck rods speed it |
| Pyro Pike | Shrimp | Rain | Reliable standard |
| Lava Lamprey | Insect | Rain | Standard for quick pulls |
| Scooty Salmon | Seaweed | Windy | Easy with windy totems |
| Cinder Carp | Minnow | Clear | Very common; Flimsy Rod helps |
| Blistered Eel | Worm | Windy | Abundant; Arctic Rod variant |
| Burnt Betta | Squid | Windy | Overcomes -30% progress |
| Ashcloud Archerfish | Coal (or Weird Algae) | Foggy | Brick Rod + boosters essential for -90% penalty |
Speed Tips
Stockpile Coal from Volcanic Geodes at Roslit Volcano using Reinforced/Magma Rods. Hasty enchant and Merlin VI boost overall speed across all fish. Low-luck rods target commons faster before rares.
Best bait for Ashcloud Archerfish and where to get it fast
Coal bait is the best and fastest for catching the Ashcloud Archerfish in Fisch’s Ashfall Bestiary, as it matches its preferred bait and maximizes spawn rates in foggy weather at Roslit Bay’s lava waters. High-luck alternatives like Weird Algae or universal baits work if Coal runs low, but they catch slower due to lower affinity.
Fastest Sources for Coal Bait
-
Fishing Volcanic Geodes: Head to Roslit Volcano (near Roslit Bay) and use a Magma Rod or Reinforced Rod to fish for Volcanic Geodes, which drop Coal when opened-fastest method for bulk farming.
-
Traveling Merchant: Buy directly for 600 in-game cash each; check spawn points like Moosewood or ports for quick purchases if geared up.
Catching Tips
Use Brick Rod, No-Life Rod, or Abyssal Specter Rod (high resilience/control) with Hasty enchant, Smokescreen Totems for fog, and Merlin VI luck boost to counter the -90% progress debuff. Pair with Aurora Totems for extra bite chance.
