Fisch Everturn Forest Guide: New Island, Fish & Tips (March 2026)

The Everturn Forest is LIVE. Fisch just dropped one of its most unique updates yet — a mysterious, shape-shifting island called Everturn Forest that's only available for 2.5 days. If you don't explore it before March 30 at 6:00 PM EST, it vanishes.

This is a limited-time event island, not a permanent addition. Here's everything you need to know to make the most of it before it disappears.

Event Timeline {#event-timeline}

This is one of the shortest event windows in Fisch history. Plan your sessions accordingly — once it's gone, the fish and quests may not return.

What Is Everturn Forest? {#what-is-everturn-forest}

Everturn Forest is a new island that constantly reshapes itself. Unlike any previous Fisch location, the terrain, fishing spots, and environment change based on two factors:

• Seasons — The island cycles through seasonal transformations, altering the landscape and what spawns
• Day/Night Cycle — Nighttime brings a fundamentally different version of the island

This means you'll want to visit during multiple time periods to see everything the island has to offer. A single session won't be enough to experience all the variations.

Visual Identity

Everturn Forest is a densely wooded island with a mystical, enchanted-forest aesthetic. Expect glowing flora, shifting pathways, and environmental details that change as the island reshapes itself.

The Oakling — Secret Fish of the Forest {#oaklings}

The marquee catch of Everturn Forest is the Oakling — the island's lone Secret-rarity fish and the capstone of the bestiary.

How to catch it:

• Bait: Starlight Worm (preferred)
• Weather: Clear
• Time of day: Daytime
• Location: Everturn Forest only — does not spawn anywhere else

Once caught, the Oakling has two purposes: it completes the Everturn Forest bestiary, and it can be handed to the Brindle Oakshade NPC on the same island in exchange for the Oakling Pal Lantern.

Day vs. Night

The island behaves very differently once the sun goes down. When night falls, the location designation shifts to "Everturn Forest (Night)", purple fog rolls in, and the trees shed their leaves. Fishing becomes noticeably harder:

• -50% Resilience debuff is applied to every fish in the area
• Nocturnal fish gain a biting ability during the reeling minigame — roughly a 12% per-movement chance to trigger, reducing reeling progress and shrinking the control bar briefly
• The in-game fiction treats night as unsafe — plan accordingly

Pro tip: Catch the Oakling during the day (it only bites in clear daytime weather), then push through the night window for bestiary fish you can only get after dark.

New Fish & Bestiary {#new-fish}

Everturn Forest ships with a 20-fish bestiary exclusive to the island. The full breakdown by rarity:

Seasonal Rotations

The island cycles through four seasons, and each season surfaces a different roster of more-common fish:

• Spring: Pollen Guppy, Bloomfin Trout, Petaldrift Koi, Verdant Spiritfish, Floraseer Sturgeon
• Summer (default appearance): Canopy Dartfish, Sapflow Eel, Sunleaf Sunfish, Thicket Leviabass, Solarseer Sturgeon
• Autumn: Rotwood Perch, Amberleaf Carp, Harvest Sunfish, Duskbriar Gar, Umbraleaf Sturgeon
• Winter: Frostpetal Minnow, Hoarfrost Pike, Icebloom Koi, Glacial Bark Gar, Glaciaseer Sturgeon

Each season also reskins the island itself — ponds freeze in winter, flowers bloom in spring, leaves scatter in autumn.

Catching Strategy

To complete the Everturn Forest bestiary before the event ends:

1. Fish across all four seasons — the Sturgeon variants are season-locked
2. Try both day and night windows — night introduces the Resilience debuff and red-eye biting fish but also unlocks some spawns
3. Starlight Worm is your priority bait — it's the preferred bait for the Secret Oakling
4. Use your best rod — limited time means you can't waste catches on low-tier fish

New NPCs & Quests {#npcs-quests}

New NPCs are expected on the island, likely offering Everturn Forest-specific quests. Based on previous Fisch event patterns, expect:

• Catch X fish quests for event-exclusive rewards
• Exploration quests that require visiting the island during different states
• Collection quests tied to the new bestiary entries
• Possible Oakling interaction quests during daytime hours

Complete all available quests before March 30 — event rewards typically don't return.

Gear & Rod Recommendations {#gear-tips}

For maximum efficiency during this short event window:

Recent Rod Context

The March 7 Lost Jungle: Expansion update added several new rods including the Bloomspire, Decayed Rod, Gardenkeeper Rod, and Toxinburst Rod. If you picked any of these up, they may have Everturn Forest synergies.

Fisch currently has 210+ fishing rods in the game — use whatever gives you the best catch rate and reel speed for your playstyle.

Strategy Tips {#strategy-tips}

Maximize Your 55 Hours

1. Session 1 (Day 1 daytime): Explore the island, meet NPCs, start quests, fish during daytime to catalog day-spawning fish
2. Session 2 (Day 1 night): Return at night to discover what happens when Oaklings disappear. Fish nighttime-exclusive species
3. Session 3 (Day 2): Complete quests, catch remaining fish, explore seasonal variations
4. Session 4 (Day 2-3): Mop up any missing bestiary entries before the deadline

General Tips

• Don't AFK — With only 2.5 days, every fishing session counts
• Screenshot your catches — If a rare fish spawns, document it for the community
• Check for Admin Abuse events — Developers often run Admin Abuse either 1 hour before or after a major update drops, buffing luck and reel speed
• Server hop if needed — Some servers may have different environmental states

FAQ {#faq}

When does Everturn Forest launch?

March 28, 2026 at 11:00 AM EST. It runs until March 30 at 6:00 PM EST — about 55 hours total.

Is Everturn Forest permanent?

No. This is a limited-time island that disappears on March 30. Fish and rewards from the event may not be available again.

What are Oaklings?

The Oakling is the Secret-rarity fish of the Everturn Forest bestiary — it's the only Secret in the 20-fish roster. It bites on Starlight Worm bait during clear daytime weather and spawns only on this island. Hand one to the Brindle Oakshade NPC on the island and you'll receive the Oakling Pal Lantern.

Do I need a specific rod for Everturn Forest?

No specific rod is required, but bring your best equipment. The Masterline Rod with Tryhard enchantment is recommended for efficiency.

Will there be new codes with this update?

Likely yes. Fisch typically releases a new code with major updates. Check the Fisch codes page for updates.

What level do I need to be to access Everturn Forest?

Level requirements haven't been confirmed yet. Previous event islands have been accessible to all players, but some fish may require higher levels to catch.

Is this related to the "NewIslandSoon" code?

Yes! The code released with the Dreadfin update (v1.76) literally hinted at this — "New Island Soon" was pointing to Everturn Forest.

This guide will be updated as the community discovers more about Everturn Forest. The island is only here for 2.5 days — get in there and start fishing!
