Where to find Fishing Maps

Even if you have a Fishing Rod, you aren’t able to fish just anywhere. First, you’ll need to find Fishing Maps that will lead you to Fishing Supplies located throughout Skyrim. The best place to buy the maps is to head to Whiterun and purchase them from Belethor at Belethor’s General Goods. He’ll have maps for Haafingar, Falkreath, The Pale, Hjaalmarch, and Whiterun. However, if you’re looking for the map for The Rift, it can be found in the Riften Fishery on top of a fish tank.

Haafingar (Solitude)

There are four fishing locations in Haafingar.

Two are east of the Solitude Sawmill
Southwest of Dragon’s Bridge by the sawmill.
Nearby Orphan’s Tear

Falkreath

You’ll find five Fishing Supplies around the lake near Falkreath.

To the west of The Guardian Stones, in the camp of the poacher
South of South Brittleshin Pass on a dock
From the dock swim to the island to the south in the camp on an island.
Nearby Half-Moon Mill
From the mill, head North following the pond until you reach a boat and campsite with a fisherman

The Rift

The Rift has four Fishing Supply locations.

Near Hearthwood Mill
On the docks between Faldor’s Tooth and Goldenglow Estate
On the lower docks beneath the Black-Briar Meadery
On the small island to the east of Hearthwood Mill

Whiterun

This is perhaps the most widespread of the fishing locations you’ll find.

Southeast of Battle-Born Farm
In Riverwood near the bridge leaving town
Southwest of Greenspring Hollow and northeast of Swindler’s Den in the large pond

This list is being updated as more Fishing Supply locations are found.
