Graveyard Keeper 2 Fishing Guide

Fishing is the quiet early-game money maker: no Faith, no corpses, no tech tree — just a rod, a spot and a bit of patience. Here is how to get started and what the catch is actually worth.

Getting Your First Rod

• The fishing chain starts once you have a line and a spot — check the river and pond areas near your starting zone
• Bait matters more than rod tier early; the wrong bait on the right water catches nothing
• Fishing is one of the few activities that costs no Faith and no Science, making it ideal while sermons recharge

Bait & What It Catches

• Simple baits catch the common fish that food recipes and Gratitude turnarounds want
• Better baits unlock the rarer catches — the ones quests and the higher-value dishes ask for
• If a spot is producing nothing but junk, change bait before changing location

What to Do With Your Catch

• Cook and sell for coin and Gratitude — see Gratitude sources
• Feed the demand lines that specific NPC quests generate
• Study new fish species once for points, then sell the rest — do not hoard duplicates
