Nivalis Nights Fishing Guide
How fishing works in Nivalis Nights, including visible fish simulation, shoal behavior, bait response and boat exploration.
Physical fish simulation
ION LANDS says hundreds of fish can appear simultaneously and more than 1,000 can be simulated. Each follows other fish or bait, so the salmon a player catches is the same one previously visible in the water. Fish also emit a warm glow.
Locations, bait and values
Exact species lists, fishing spots, bait preferences, time windows and sell values are not public in the cited developer update. Those details need release-build testing. The official feature list does confirm that the player can explore by personal boat and go fishing.
