Fishing log/guide update ?

[Odakai]

I was encountering the same thing. For Ehll Tou's collectables, the description of the fish gives literally ZERO useful information. Fatty herring, for example.

"in a blind taste test, three out of four people cannot tell the difference between fatty herring steak and antelope steak"

That's it. That's all you have to go on. How are we supposed to try and find out where these fish are without using external sources?

Only reason I found them easily was checking all the fishing areas since I had caught everything and seeing new things pop up.

I agree. It's time for fishing to get the QoL upgrades that mining and botany did. Once you've caught a fish, the fish should show the bait they will bite as well as the tug information, weather conditions, whether snagging is required and whether fish eyes is required. Mooch lines would be useful as well, telling which fish can be mooched and what they can result in. And in-game timers like with timed mining and botany nodes would be great, so we could set these right there in game. Definitely also a search function. With all the fishing holes and spear fishing locations it's onerous to go through them mousing over the fish to find something specific.
