How to Catch All 11 Fish and Find Every Secret Ring in FlyKnight

Last Updated on 5 January, 2026

This guide serves as your definitive manual for two of the most critical, yet often criminally overlooked, aspects of your journey in FlyKnight. We will explore the meditative and rewarding art of fishing, alongside the treasure-hunting thrill of ring collecting. Whether you need to regenerate mana on the fly during a boss fight or prevent your allies from accidentally stabbing you in the back, we have the specific knowledge you seek. We have compiled every scrap of data, every hidden location, and even the whispered secrets from the community to ensure you never miss a catch or a hidden chest.

Prepare your inventory and sharpen your wits. Let us begin.

  Fun Fact: FlyKnight wasn’t originally planned as a full commercial release. It began as a small project created in just two weeks for a Bugs themed game jam by the solo developer, Wabbaboy. The original jam version is still visible on itch.io

The Art of Angling: Getting Your Rod

Before you can even think about hauling in a legendary catch or cooking up a storm, you need the right tool for the job. Securing a fishing rod is your absolute first priority in this quest line.

The Standard Method

You will find the primary and intended opportunity to grab your gear at the very tail end of the game’s tutorial sequence. You must arrive at the specific location known as the Peaceful Lake Campfire. Once you are there, scan the area for an NPC named “Fisherbug”. Engage him in conversation immediately. He will kindly offer you a spare fishing rod. Accept his generosity without hesitation, pick it up, and equip the item to your character.

Critical Warning: You must complete this interaction BEFORE you enter the Caves. Once you cross the threshold into the caves, the path to the Peaceful Lake closes forever. If you enter the caves without the rod, you lock yourself out of this specific interaction for the remainder of that playthrough.

The “Missed It” Workarounds

Did you rush into the caves and miss Fisherbug? Do not panic and delete your character just yet. While early reports suggested you needed a fresh restart, the community has uncovered two vital secrets to save your run.

  1. The Stash Solution: Check the bottom of your Personal Storage. The developers likely foresaw this issue and placed a spare fishing rod there for forgetful knights.
  2. The Dev Room Trick: If all else fails, you can access the developer room to fix your mistake.

💡 Secret Tip: If you completely missed the rod and cannot find it in your stash, try accessing the Dev Room. You can do this by double left-clicking in the top left corner of the main menu screen. You can catch the fish you missed inside this hidden room.

Fishing Mechanics 101

Fishing in FlyKnight balances refreshing simplicity with satisfying depth. Here is exactly how you master the water and keep your stamina intact.

The Basics

Equip your rod and press [5] to wield it at any time. You are now ready to cast your line.

  1. Casting: Hold the Left Mouse Button. Orange arrows will appear on the water surface. These arrows indicate your aim and where the bobber will land. Release the button to cast your bobber.
  2. Reeling: You have two distinct options once the line is out.
    • Slow Reel: Hold the Right Mouse Button to pull the line in gradually.
    • Fast Reel: Click the Left Mouse Button to toss your bobber into the air. While the bobber is airborne, hold the Right Mouse Button. You will reel the line in much faster this way.

Hooking the Catch

Observe the water carefully. You will see small arrows hovering above the fish. The arrow color corresponds to the specific fish type.

  1. Attract Attention: Cast your line near a fish. If the fish ignores you, reel the bobber in slightly or recast closer to the target.
  2. The Nibble: The fish will approach and nibble the bobber. Do not strike yet.
  3. The Bite: Wait for the fish to bite down fully. You will hear a distinct sound cue and see a visual splash.
  4. The Struggle: Start reeling immediately. If you hesitate, the fish escapes. Watch your stamina bar closely. If you run out of stamina while reeling, the fish will drag you forward. This becomes dangerous if you stand too close to the water’s edge.

💡 Pro Tip: Master the Fast Reel technique (Left Click then Hold Right Click) to save time, but always keep an eye on your stamina. If the fish drags you because you ran out of energy, you could be pulled into dangerous waters!

The Fish Barrel & Storage Secrets

Inventory management is key to survival. You only have 5 dedicated slots in your main inventory for fish. Once you fill these slots, you cannot carry more on your person.

However, the game provides a solution called The Fish Barrel.
Think of this as your tackle box or cold storage. It holds up to 21 consumable fish. If you catch a fish while your personal inventory is full, the game automatically sends the fresh catch to your Fish Barrel, provided you have space there. This acts similarly to your Personal Stash Chest but is strictly for your aquatic prizes.

Troubleshooting the Infinite Nibble:
Many players report an issue where fish constantly nibble the line but never actually bite down. This is not a bug in the fish AI. It is an inventory management feature designed to prevent waste.

💡 Storage Tip: If you find that fish are nibbling indefinitely and refusing to take the bait, check your inventory immediately. If your 5 personal fish slots are full, the game will not let you catch another. Clear a slot or ensure your Fish Barrel has room to fix this instantly.
