Fishing locations

Catherby and Land's End are both convenient and popular locations with fishing spots close to a bank. However, because of the invisible +7 boost within the Fishing Guild, the numerous spots, and proximity to a bank, the Fishing Guild is the best option if players have at least 68 Fishing to enter.
