The selected guide describes 49 entries: regular catches, purchasable-boss catches, and story bosses. Regular fish are selected by rod and lure; island progression controls when stronger lures become available. Defeat a creature after using the correct setup so it registers in the encyclopedia.

Drip variants

Every listed creature reportedly has a rare Drip version. Use the same lure, rod, or story trigger; there is no separate Drip Lure. The Tab menu tracks regular and Drip entries separately.

Reading the table

A fish can appear in more than one regular lure pool (for example Piranha, Pike, and Goldfish). Treat the lure as the lookup key, then verify the rod and island context before spending bait.
