The best location to fish Oily Anchovy is Bahari Bay. There are various rivers in the area, and that’s where you must look to find these fish. Locations such as Statue Garden and Proudhorn Pass are the areas with greater spawn chance. Flooded Fortress also has these fish, but you are better off looking for them in the previous locations.

The river between the Ancient Aquaduct and Ancient Laggon also has them in large numbers. You must note that you can only find them in rivers, and searching for any other body of water in the Bahari area is futile.

An effective trick for searching for Oily Anchovy is looking for part of the river where fish jump out of water. These parts of the water house rarer fish and have an increased chance of having Oily Anchovy. Upgrading your fishing rod also helps you while trying to catch this fish in Palia.

Before you start looking for the fish, make sure that your fishing rod is equipped with Worm Bait; otherwise, you won’t be able to catch any. Even with the right location and bait, it can take some time before you find an Oily Anchovy. We suggest you be patient, and you should walk home with one of them.
