Fish Net — Detailed Guide
Fishing without a rod
The Fish Net is a thrown fishing tool in ARK: Survival Evolved and ARK: Survival Ascended. The in-game line explains the motion: "Wind up and throw it to catch nearby fish." It first appeared with Genesis: Part 1, and the ARK Wiki lists Fjordur, Lost Island and Genesis: Part 2 as further maps. Unlike the 
Fishing Rod it needs no bait and no seat, and the net is cast while standing, but the survivor cannot move while using it.
What a catch brings in
According to the wiki, the net can catch the 
Piranha, the 
Coelacanth, the 
X-Sabertooth Salmon and the Sabertooth Salmon. Every catch yields meat, both 
Raw Fish Meat and 
Raw Prime Fish Meat, in an amount set by the total weight of the fish. When the fish weigh at least 0.8 units, extra resources can come along, from common ones such as Wood, Stone, 
Metal Ingot and Crystal to rare ones such as 
Black Pearl, 
AnglerGel, 
Organic Polymer and 
Sap; their quantity also depends on the weight of the fish.
Crafting a net
The engram unlocks at level 6 for 4 engram points. A net takes 5 seconds to craft and gives 1 XP; it costs 15 
Fiber, 10 
Thatch, 3 
Stone and 3 
Hide. Each net weighs 0.5 and has 40 durability, and with 10 per stack a full stack weighs 5. Loot crates can contain them too: 84 crate types, for example Genesis Cyan, Genesis Orange and Genesis Purple on Genesis Part 2.
Mission and event quirks
- In the Bog Fishin' mission, catching a Piranha breaks the net.
- During the ARK: Love Evolved event it cannot fish event items from the Valentine Coelacanth and only brings in Raw Fish Meat.
