One of the mini-games you can find in Like a Dragon Ishin is Fishing, where you can use a fishing rod and go to a fishing spot to catch all types of fish which can be sold. Depending on their rarity, you can find a handful of different fish that range from a rarity of 1 Start all the way to 10 Stars. This Like a Dragon Ishin Fishing Guide will show you how to fish, where to get all Fishing Rods, where you can find all fishing spots, and list all the types of fish in the game.
Like a Dragon Ishin Fishing Guide
You can start fishing with a basic rod and by going to a fishing spot to begin catching fish. But the game has plenty of ways that can help you catch better fish and also make it easier. Let’s first take a look at how to fish in the game.
How to Fish
Although you can get a basic fishing rod from a shop and start fishing, you can also buy a better fishing rod for a higher price that offers better performance. You can purchase a good fishing rod from Shinto Priests’ exchange shop, provided that you have enough Virtue to buy one.
Fishing rods are also specialized for use in the river or the sea. These are the two different types of fishing spots: rivers and sea.
Once you have the fishing rod, follow the mini-game to catch a fish. The only difference with fishing when using a basic rod and a good rod like the Rivermaster or the Sea Master is that it will take less time to catch a fish as compared to using a basic starter rod.
All Fishing Rods
There are 6 different types of fishing rods that you can get in the game. The table below shows all the fishing rods, where to get them, and what each rod costs.
Fishing Rod | Cost |

Fish Identification
Fish in the game cannot be recognized when in water, but they appear in different shapes, where you can only guess what type of fish you are about to catch. The game differentiates fishes into 4 different shapes that you can slightly use to identify the type of fish in the water.
The four different shapes of fish are:
- Normal looking fish shape
- Kite-shaped or diamond-shaped fish
- Thin long fish shape
- Tiny blob
