These tables can be sorted easily by zone name or skill level. The 100% catch skill level is the skill level at which every catch in open water is likely to result in a fish catch and the likelihood of catching vendor trash is nearly nil. Fishing from pools is always a 100% fish catch, and Fishing from open lava is nearly always 100% vendor trash.
