Shilo Village Fishing Spot Bug?

Is there a reason that some of the fishing spots in the Shilo Village river are now unreachable? Some of these are spawning in front of plants that can’t be accessed while others are now spawning in the middle of the river and can’t be reached. Not sure if this is the intention, but seems kind of strange as to why this would be an intended feature so wanted to point this out in case it wasn’t.

There’s a mention for OSRS that a (one?) unreachable fishing spot was changed; maybe there were others before? (Jan 2014) Shilo Village (location) - OSRS Wiki

Another unreachable spot change in RS (Jan 2009) Shilo Village (location) - The RuneScape Wiki

Trying to fish there now, spotted at least 3 unreachable spawns just north of the furnace (2 on south side of river 1 behind plants on north side) and it makes fishing at Shilo pretty garbage.

I noticed the weird fishing spots this morning also; I was aware of the one spot behind the tree that was inaccessible. But today there were 2 at the furnace-side of the river that I could not access, which I had not seen before. Its like the spots have spawned 1 tile further into the river, so that it is no longer adjacent to the shore so you can no longer reach them.

After running back and forth between the 2 sides of the river unable to find a spot, I hung up my fishing rod for today. Oh well


Yep, this is what I was seeing too, this was not like this before the update. Feel like something got messed up and needs to be addressed as surely this was not their intent. It would be great if the mods could respond and address the issue. @branon

Appreciate the reports! I wasn’t aware of this but some of the blue names have dialog about it in discord: Discord

Jury seems like it’s still out on whether or not this is authentic… stay tuned I guess? :smile_cat:

Thank you for the response. Just know this wasn’t happening prior to the update and now makes the Shilo fishing nearly impossible to even do anymore at least with the ones that are unreachable in the river. The plant one was happening before and seems like that was fixed later on in some other update as some of the people posting above noted. Looking forward to a solution soon.

I just finished Shilo Village and can hardly find any accessible spots on any worlds. Is this snowballing?

Regardless, barb village fly fishing is currently way superior to shilo fishing as it is right now. Until(or if?) this is fixed, don’t bother. Stick to barb village or Catherby.
