An expansion is meant to include additional content for fans to explore, and this one for Dredge manages to check every box. It’s just an all-around worthwhile piece of DLC. Here are all the new fish in The Pale Reach to track down!
Every New Fish in The Pale Reach DLC
There are 11 new fish in The Pale Reach to catch, with the clear majority of them being available at any time of the day or night. Most will require a new fishing rod capable of catching Ice-type fish. You can score one from the Travelling Merchant by progressing through the expansion’s storyline.
You’ll want either the Barbed Ice Rod or Glacial Lance, with the latter being the more expensive option but capable of catching both Oceanic and Ice with a boosted 35% catch speed.
| Fish | Type | Time | Aberration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Char | Coastal | Any | Bubbling Char |
| Colossal Squid | Ice | Any | Pale Grasper |
| Goblin Shark | Ice | Any | Grisly Shark |
| Icefish | Ice | Any | Fractalline Icefish Thawed Icefish Astral Icefish |
| King Crab | Depth | Any | King’s Wreath |
| Lziardfish | Ice | Any | Feral Lizardfish |

| Sleeper Shark | Ice | Any | – |
| Stargazer | Ice | Any | Craterous Seer |
| Toothfish | Ice | Any | Bulbous Toothfish |

While I’ve managed to catch most of these, the Colossal Squid continues to elude me. I still pop on my old save regularly, hoping to reel one in. One day!
