Where to find Rusty & Golden Koi in Genshin Impact: Fishing locations guide

Genshin Impact introduced the fishing system with the 2.1 update where players can collect different types of fish for some rewards and can even foster some in the teapot realm. The major attraction of the fishing system is The Catch polearm that can be obtained in exchange for some particular groups of fish including Rusty and Golden Koi.

Kois are the most abundant fish in Genshin Impact as of now and can be found in most of the fishing spots. There are two variants, Rusty and Golden, and players need 20 of each of them to get The Catch polearm.

All fishing spots in Genshin Impact will have more than one type of breed. Spotting a Rusty Koi is easier due to its long and slender shape. To attract a Rusty Koi, players need to use Fake Fly bait, which can be crafted once the blueprint is obtained from Mondstadt Fishing Association for six Medakas. Here are all the locations where players can easily farm Rusty Koi in Genshin Impact.

The final location where Golden Kois can be found is near the Stormbearer Mountains. It is located to the east of the teleport waypoint and also nurtures different types of Medakas.

In Genshin Impact, a fishing spot refreshes after every three days in real-time. It will take a few days to get The Catch and refine it to rank 5, so it is better to have enough baits beforehand along with a bit of patience while fishing because the reward is definitely worth the grind.
