Fisher
Lore
"Fishers are the harvesters of the realm's marine and freshwater animal resources.The trade rose to prominence in the nation of Limsa Lominsa, owing to the plentiful waters upon and around Vylbrand island. Be it from the shore of a sea, the bank of a river, or the deck of a boat, Eorzea's anglers must constantly account for a wide range of factors to optimize their success, including season, time, place, tools, and bait." — Game Description
General Information
Fisher is a Disciple of the Land (gathering class) that harvests fish and other sea creatures from the waters of Eorzea, as well as other locations at higher levels, such as cloud fishing and volcano fishing. The materials they gather are used primarily by Culinarians and Alchemists.
Different Fishing Tackles are used to catch different fish in various environments. If the tackle used is unsuitable for the location, the fishing attempt will be cancelled without expending the tackle. In addition, some fish may only be caught under specific circumstances (such as certain weather conditions or at a particular time of the day).
As of Stormblood (4.0), fishers can also collect resources using the Spearfishing mechanic.
Any player with at least one level 10 Disciple of War or Magic is eligible to become a Fisher. To begin, head to the Fisher's Guild located in Limsa Lominsa and speak with the receptionist to start your first quest.

*Note: Unlike the other gathering classes, fishing leves operate essentially like the leves for crafting classes, without time limits or the like. Method or origin of the fish does not matter in the least, while turning in HQ fish doubles the exp and gil rewards. Some leves allow multiple deliveries of the requested items for additional rewards.
