⚓Fishing Level

Fishing Level is increased by earning Angler Trophies, which are awarded the first time you catch a Trophy Fish of a given size, and by completing Research Tasks.

New Fishing Areas and Perk Upgrades become available as your Fishing Level is increased.

Access the Fishing Progress menu by pressing shift + right click while holding your Apex Rod

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.
