There are many unique Sprites wandering around the Fortnite island, and getting your hands on each one is quite tricky. One of the many special Sprites you might be on the hunt for is the Fishy Sprite.
Not all Sprites are obtained in the same way, so it can be tough to find the one you’re seeking to grow your collection. If you’re having a hard time tracking this one down, here’s how to find the Fishy Sprite in Fortnite.

How to get the Fishy Sprite in Fortnite

The Fishy Sprite can be obtained as a random loot drop from anywhere around the island, including regular chests, Sprite Chests, floor loot, and any other similar looting containers you come across. This special Sprite can also be caught while fishing, particularly out of golden ripple spots. Other items can drop while fishing out of these spots, too, though, so it’s never guaranteed.
Like many other Sprites, there’s no guaranteed way to ensure you find this one. Instead, it mostly comes down to random luck and chance, so just focus on doing your best to loot as much as possible in every round to have the best odds of finding it. Fishing whenever you can is also useful, as this is the only special Sprite that can sometimes be caught using this method.
Fishy Sprite location in Fortnite
The Fishy Sprite doesn’t have one fixed spawn location, as it can be found just about anywhere around the island. For the best chances at finding one, though, you might consider focusing on golden fishing spots.
Golden fishing spots have a chance of being found at any spot where you can go fishing around the island, so keep an eye out for them while you explore. If you’re struggling to find spots that have fishing rods and fishable spots, here are some of the best areas to go fishing when hunting for the Fishy Sprite.

What does the Fishy Sprite do in Fortnite?
When equipped, the Fishy Sprite increases your swimming speed. It also provides a brief, but effective movement boost whenever you take damage, making it a highly helpful Sprite to have on hand for some nice traversal bonuses.
If you’re up for some more Sprite collecting, consider working on getting the Striker Sprite next. Or, if you’d rather shift your focus to other key missions around the island, you might wish to complete Lost and Found quests, take your car through the car wash to make a good impression, damage opponents with style while using Seven Sliders, and hire a specialist.
