Fishing is a gathering skill that lets players catch various fish using nets, rods (with bait), harpoons, or cages. Each fish requires a minimum Fishing level and grants XP upon a successful catch. Raw fish can be cooked into food for healing with the help of Firemaking and Cooking.

Fishing consumes Sleep Points with each action. Every tick spent fishing also gives a chance to obtain Algae , which when used provides a random amount of Seashrooms and Sand.
