Scale the Depths Fish & Customer Lookup

This tool is for looking up what to catch and who to feed next. Start with the Fish & Customer Lookup table: search a fish, filter by location or customer, read the likely use, then save the match to My Notes only when it helps your current build.

Steam and the launch announcement confirm 100+ fish species, four locations, customer favorites, and tip behavior. Public guide coverage adds useful leads such as Minnow, Anchovy, Ferox Trout, Moon Fish, Atlantic Salmon, Northern Pike, Brown Trout, Beithir, red-fish Kelpie tests, Lost Dimetrodon, Hoga, Apophis 99942, and cleanup checks like Sputnik or patch-sensitive almanac checks. Treat those as starting routes, not a final complete fish database.

The lookup includes confirmed matches and save-check leads. Exact fish values, customer favorites, and tip behavior should still be checked in your current build.

Quick Answer

Use the lookup table first. If it suggests a customer, try that route only when your current build has the fish and customer available. Save the result after the run. The saved list becomes your personal route board: what to catch again, what to hold for a rare customer, what belongs in the almanac, and what can be marked done.

Fields Saved In Each Note

Field	Save this	Why
Fish	Pick from the known list; use Unknown / custom only when the game shows something missing	Keeps the route tied to one catch
Spot	Usually auto-filled from the fish lead	Helps you return to the right location
Customer	Usually auto-filled when a known route exists	Separates favorite tests from general selling
Result	Save what happened after testing: favorite, liked, bad fit, high tip, low tip, almanac, or patch recheck	Turns one run into a useful note
Value or rarity cue	Auto-filled from the lead so you know why the note matters	Shows whether the fish is common cleanup or a rarer hold
Scaling	Mark whether prep was easy, careful, hard, messy, perfect, or needs another note	Explains odd sale or tip results
Next action	Catch again, serve, hold for rare customer, almanac check, patch recheck, or done	Makes the next fishing session faster
Status	Keep active work separate from completed notes	Keeps finished notes out of the route list

How To Use The Tracker

1. Choose a fish from the dropdown.
2. Read the selected route note.
3. Change the customer only if your current queue points somewhere else.
4. Test the route in game.
5. Save the result after the run.
6. Filter by status or next action before deciding what to catch next.
7. Copy visible notes if you want a short route list outside the page.

The saved notes stay in your browser. Use reset only when you want to clear your local table.

Officially Confirmed Cues

Confirmed cue	What to save
Otters, axolotls, herons, Nessie, and Kelpie appear in Steam’s customer description	Save the customer name, look, line, and reaction rather than assuming a favorite
Steam says every customer has personality, appetite, and a favorite fish	Mark favorites only after your own save confirms the reaction
Steam confirms 100+ fish species across four distinct spots	Use spot and almanac status on every fish note
1.0.1 fixed the missing anchovy almanac entry	Use a patch recheck note if your almanac looked wrong before updating
1.0.1 fixed a Razor Sturgeonfish visual bug	Recheck old visual notes before treating them as fish-identification facts

Known Leads To Verify

The known leads are not a complete fish table. They are editable prompts from official, patch, and community-visible coverage:

Lead	Why it is useful	Verify before trusting
Minnow	A flexible small-fish route lead	Whether it is worth serving or only clearing leftover progress
Ferox Trout	A common Loch Ness route lead from current guide coverage	Exact value, customer fit, and scaling result
Moon Fish	Named in public guide coverage	Spot, value, and customer fit
Atlantic Salmon	Preview coverage describes it as a larger deeper Loch Ness catch	Whether it fits large-fish customers in your save
Northern Pike	Preview coverage describes it as a larger deeper Loch Ness catch	Whether it fits large-fish customers in your save
Brown Trout	Community guide coverage links it to Selkie	Whether Selkie records the preference in your CARP Manual
Beithir	Treat it as the Loch Ness legendary/Nessie cleanup target when your save points that way	Whether your save shows the fish, customer reaction, and payout
Red fish lead	Use it when Kelpie’s current hint points toward a red-fish route	The exact fish name and CARP Manual preference in your build
Sputnik artifact lead	Achievement coverage links it to Loch Ness cleanup	Whether this is the missing data/artifact check, not a fish sale note
Anchovy	1.0.1 specifically fixed a missing almanac entry	Whether the entry appears correctly in your current build
Razor Sturgeonfish	1.0.1 fixed a visual issue	Whether old visual notes still match the current build
Lost Dimetrodon	Community route coverage treats it as an Outer Banks legendary target	Catch, prep, Sonar Receiver route, and completion state
Hoga	Community route coverage treats it as a Huatulco legendary target	Pressure-plate route, line/hook readiness, prep, and cleanup status
Apophis 99942	Community route coverage treats it as a Point Nemo late target	Yellow switch shortcut, line pressure, nearby collectibles, and prep

Keep a lead if it helps your next run. Delete or overwrite it once your own save has better data.

Customer Note Route

1. Catch one fish from a known spot.
2. Scale it and serve it to a customer.
3. Save the reaction or tip result.
4. If the customer loved it, mark the entry as favorite found.
5. If the result was unclear, mark it as needs recheck.
6. Filter by status before your next fishing run.

This turns every customer mistake into a useful note instead of a lost run.

Cleanup Filters

Filter	Use it when
Need	You want a target list for the next run
Tested	You tried the fish but still do not know the best customer
Favorite found	You need quick money or reliable tips
Almanac	You are filling collection gaps
Done	You want old notes out of the active route

Customer Favorite Route

Step	What to save	Why
First sale	Fish, spot, customer, result	Creates the first comparison point
High tip	Scaling quality and customer cue	Shows whether the customer or prep caused the result
Bad fit	Customer and fish pair	Prevents repeating a weak sale
Favorite found	Fish, customer, spot, scaling note	Builds a reliable money route
Needs recheck	Why the result was unclear	Keeps uncertain notes from becoming false rules

If a customer pays poorly for a fish you expected to work, do not erase the note. Mark it needs recheck and test again with cleaner scaling.

Common Tracking Mistakes

Mistake	Better habit
Saving broad notes like “good fish”	Add customer and spot context
Treating one low tip as final	Retest if scaling quality or customer fit was unclear
Forgetting the location	Spot matters when the fish list grows
Mixing old demo memories with full-game notes	Use current build entries only
Keeping finished notes in the active list	Mark done or reset after cleanup
