Lava Lake

Fishing spot 21 in Tap Fishing · 30 kinds of fish · catches worth ×85

A lake of molten rock inside a volcano. Only the toughest fish swim here.

The Lava Lake is harder to open than the other spots. First catch every fish at The Trench, its special fish included, and beat both of its bosses. Then unlock it on the map for 100,000,000 coins. Every catch here is worth 85× what the same rarity pays at the Pond.

Hazards glow red and show a warning before they arrive. Thick Gloves from the shop keep you safe for three minutes.

• Magma Jelly: stings: you lose a few coins and your taps freeze for a moment.
• Lava Bomb: goes boom: you lose a few coins and every fish scatters.

Something hidden

There is one hidden thing to find at the Lava Lake. It only peeks out for a few seconds at a time, so keep your eyes open. Finding it pays a coin bonus and a Lucky Lure.
