Best spot

Arowana is listed as a freshwater fish, so you want to fish in rivers, lakes, or other freshwater bodies rather than the ocean. The most repeated player report points to the north dock in Chalk Peak as a strong Arowana location.

Bait to use

The wiki’s fish table lists Arowana as freshwater, but the bait field is blank, which suggests it may not require a special bait or that the entry is incomplete. Player reports mention catching it with universal bait at Sunbury’s left dock, while broader fishing guides note that better bait can improve success for different fish types.

[6][1][2]

Practical choice: bring universal bait if you have it, or test standard freshwater-friendly bait while staying in freshwater. If you are farming rare fish, carrying extra bait saves time because fishing trips can take a while.

Small tips

• Fish in deeper freshwater where fishing is allowed, not shallow or invalid water.
[1][6]
• Watch the tension ring carefully and avoid over- reeling.

• If one dock is dry, rotate between nearby freshwater spots in Chalk Peak or try another reported Arowana location.

Forum-style note

“Go to the dock all the way north in Chalk Peak. About a quarter of the fish there were Arowana for me.”[2]

Another player report says they caught Arowana at Sunbury’s left dock using universal bait, which lines up with the idea that it can be found in freshwater but may be uncommon.
