Fishing is living. Follow this questionably thorough guide to become Origins' next best angler!
Where to fish?
Origins has three public rooms that offer fishing so far, and all can be found using the in-game navigator and clicking the 'Fishing' tab under the Public Rooms section. As a beginner you'll only be able to fish in the first room, Infobus Park until level 30, where you can then move onto the next room, Port Hana. Finally at level 70 you can fish in the final room, Snouthill Pier until level 99.

A 2025 winter update introduced Arctic Fishing and frozen fishing holes that can be placed in private rooms to fish from! However, you'll only catch frozen fish with limited XP gains. You can purchase fishing holes using fish tokens, an entirely free currency gained per fish caught. They're a little on the pricey side, so get some public room fishing under your belt first!
How to fish?
Starting off in the Infobus Park, you'll find ponds where little fish silhouettes will appear. Simply double click the silhouettes to cast your magically summoned fishing rod! You'll fish automatically for a few minutes until the cast runs out, and then you'll need to find another fish shadow.

These beginner fish will net you around 20xp per catch. Don't get distracted or you might miss golden fish that are worth double the XP! To catch golden fish a short mini-game will pop up, where you need to keep a meter arrow pointing north using the Q and E keys. It makes more sense when you're doing it and can be a bit tricky depending on the fish!

Once you've reached level 30 and hopefully aren't tired of fishing yet, you can go ahead and move on to the next room Port Hana. You'll catch higher level fish with better XP as you progress through the levels and rooms currently available.
Fishing Rewards
"Why am I starting this courageous fishing empire?", you might be asking yourself. In most public fishing rooms you'll find a signpost with a little blue fish that gives you more information about fishing, your fishing statistics and most importantly, the fishing store! This is where you can purchase those private room Arctic fishing holes I mentioned, along with an entirely exclusive-to-fishing furniture line that cannot be traded (but is fantastic for building with!)

While fishing you might also catch some shiny fish statues/trophies - bronze, silver and gold varieties can be found in their respective public rooms by level. Or you could fish up one of the ten unique and mysterious messenger bottles. None of these items can be traded and are largely used as bragging rights amongst the most committed of fisherhabbos.
In my opinion, the fishing badge & fishing hat are the most sought after rewards. The hat is considerably easier to achieve although still quite a feat, costing 250,000 fish tokens and purchasable from your normal habbo updater. It can take hours of commitment and players should aim to afford it at around level 60. The badge is potluck unfortunately and has a drop rate rumoured to be around 1/200,000 (am I exaggerating? maybe). Many fishers have surpassed level 99 with no badge in sight, while some fish it up within hours of starting!

Fishing Features
- Fishing Frenzies are events that occur every 4 hours and last 10 minutes. In this time you'll only catch golden fish using the mini-game mentioned above, and yield huge amounts of XP in just a few short minutes!
- Your Fishopedia Journal can be found in your backpack by clicking your avatar on the bottom left bar in-game. This is where all your catches are documented, with extra bits about fish rarity, location and more. This is a cute and fun one for the completionists to keep track as they level up!

- Fishing Derbies were added in early 2026 following a user-driven event to bring fisher-players together.
Automated to run every few hours, derbies are for players to fish at the same time and compete for the highest fish count. Origins will give you a small alert in-game before fishing derbies begin, and you can register for one 10 minutes before it starts by visiting Bob the NPC found in any of the public fishing rooms and interacting with him.
Derbies last 15 minutes and the top 3 winners win stamps as reward! Players can compete from fishing holes in their private rooms but their score will be counted lower than those in public rooms, and they don't win stamps! :(
