✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 5,743 endorsements and nearly a million downloads.
- ESL flagged means it won't eat your mod slots — perfect for load order hoarders.
- Fills a real gap: fishing gets more Bestiary love without bloating the game.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Creation Club Fishing — if you don't own it, this mod is useless.
- Only adds Bestiary entries, no new fish or gameplay mechanics — pure lore flavor.
- Last updated January 2025 — might not be compatible with future Skyrim updates.
For Skyrim completionists who love fishing and want every Bestiary entry filled. Also great for role-players who enjoy discovering lore through gameplay. Skip if you're not into fishing or don't own CC Fishing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure CC Fishing is installed and enabled before adding this mod.
- Load order doesn't matter much since it's ESL, but keep it active with other fishing mods.
- Check the Bestiary after fishing a few different spots to see new entries pop up.
