All Fishing Spells in Wizard101
Fishing is one of the main side activities in Wizard101. From code wands to permanent mounts, it can have some great rewards. If you want to catch ‘em all, the one thing you will need is fishing spells! For an introduction to fishing, check out our Beginner’s Guide.
How do I get fishing spells?
There are a total of 44 fishing spells in the game. They are either learned through the fishing questline, or purchased for gold from several trainers throughout the Spiral. There are 7 trainers, each with a different set of spells for you to learn. Lure spells are for catching fish, all others are utility spells.
You won’t need every fishing spell in order to complete the fishing quests. But if you are someone like me and want to collect them all, it will cost you a total of 141,000 gold. Luckily, nowhere near the 2,692,100 gold needed to learn every gardening spell!
At each fishing rank you acquire, more spells will become available to you. At fishing rank 6, you can learn them all. If you want to increase your fishing rank quickly, I suggest catching fish you’ve never caught before for a higher XP reward. To find them, check out our Fish Location guide!

Fishing Quest Spells
There are 15 fishing-related quests throughout the Spiral, providing 6 free spells. I highly recommend completing them all, to unlock the full benefits of fishing. The member benefit weekend Zero Energy Fishing will be the ideal time to work on your fishing quests.

Fishing Spells from Frode Silverscale
Frode is also located in Northguard, Grizzleheim, near to Haarek, next to the bridge near to the entrance to Mirkholm Keep and Savarstaad Pass. In addition to providing new spells, he sells aquarium and pet snack recipes. These three utility spells are incredibly powerful, especially when hunting for epic fish. Summon Fish, my personal favourite, will entirely reset a fishing hole, meaning there is a new chance for a specific fish to spawn every time. Charm Fish is useful when fish are far away and you can’t enter the water (e.g. Moon Cliffs, Khrysalis), and Fish Lullaby is useful when fish are moving a bit too fast to position your lure correctly! It will cost 28,000 total gold to purchase these spells.
