Best gold/hour: Volcano Vent (5,200G/hr with Phoenix Egg bait) —but only in summer.

| Rank | Biome | Bait (Best) | Cost/Cast | Gold/Hour (Avg) | Season |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Volcano Vent | Phoenix Egg | 180G | 5,200G | Summer |
| 2 | Glacier Stream | Frost Bait | 150G | 4,500G | Winter |
| 3 | Ocean West | Squid | 80G | 3,800G | All |
| 4 | Twilight Lake | Glow Worm | 60G | 3,200G | Autumn |
| 5 | River Bend | Bread | 15G | 1,500G | All |
| 6 | Pond | Worm | 5G | 350G | All |
Setup cost: Phoenix Egg bait 180G each × 20 casts/hr = 3,600G bait cost
Average catch (summer): 70% common, 20% rare, 8% epic, 2% legendary
Gold per cast (avg): 70% × 200G + 20% × 800G + 8% × 2,500G + 2% × 5,000G = 520G
Hourly gross: 20 casts × 520G = 10,400G
Hourly net (after bait): 10,400G - 3,600G = 6,800G
With all 8 stacking tricks: ~5,200G/hr net (after higher tier bait cost).
Marcus: I tested 4 hours at each biome. Volcano Vent is king in summer. Glacier Stream is king in winter. Ocean West is the most consistent year-round at 3,800G/hr.
Lin: The Pond is bait-cheap but profit-low. Only useful for the "Catch 100 minnows" achievement.
Sofia: Don't fish River Bend after DG 10. The profit gap to Ocean West is too large to ignore.
