# Fishing Level
Fishing Level is increased by earning **Angler Trophies**, which are awarded the first time you catch a [Trophy Fish](/features/fishing/catches/trophy-fish.md) of a given size, and by completing Research Tasks.
New [Fishing Areas](/features/fishing/fishing-areas.md) and [Perk Upgrades](/features/fishing/perks.md) become available as your **Fishing Level** is increased.

##  Research Tasks
The Fishing Progress menu includes **six Research Tasks: Lucky, Wise, Treasure, Charm, Luster, and Fortune**. Progress is earned from certain catch types, and higher research tiers unlock higher tiers of related perks. Completing each research tier also awards **10 Angler Trophies**, which count towards your Fishing Level.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://wiki.apexcobblemon.com/features/fishing/fishing-level.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
