The 2nd Anniversary Event in Fisch brings exciting rewards, including the Candle Rod, Cake Cruiser (Boat) & the unique Cake Halo. Players can get these by catching Anniversary Event fish globally or from the exclusive Anniversary Event Pool. Then toss those fish into the Icing Pool to unlock rewards in a tier-wise manner.
It’s 2026 & Fisch is celebrating its second anniversary with a limited-time event featuring new rods, a bestiary, & a whole lot of rewards. So, if you have just hopped into the game and are confused about how to start the event, here is a complete guide to help you get all the exclusive rewards.
How does the 2nd Anniversary Event work in Fisch

The Anniversary Event in Fisch centers on the exclusive Anniversary Bestiary and the Giant Cake Building. Basically, you have to catch the fish part of the Anniversary Bestiary either globally or from the exclusive Anniversary Pool that spawn every hour (XX:30) in one of the following locations: Roslit Bay, Forsaken Shores, Snowcap Island & Castaway Cliffs. Then return to the large Giant Cake Building at Moosewood and toss the fish into the Icing Pool to get exclusive Anniversary Rewards.
How to get the Candle Rod in Fisch

The Candle Rod is the biggest highlight of the Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event. You can find the Rod on top of the large Cake next to the Moosewood Dock. To unlock it, light all 10 Candles on the first layer of the Cake that wraps around it.
This is pretty simple: give 10 different Fish (each one corresponding to a candle) from the 2nd Anniversary Bestiary to the Icing Pool at the bottom of the Giant Cake structure. Watch the candle ignite at the top each time you toss a unique fish. Repeat until you light all 10 Candles on top to unlock the Candle Rod. I recommend checking out our exclusive Fisch 2nd Anniversary Bestiary Guide to catch all the various Fish.
Candle Rod Stats & Showcase
Below are the Candle Rod's stat details in Fisch and the passive effect you get while using it

- Lure Speed: 60%

- Control: 0

Speaking of the passive, the Candle Rod has a wick at the top that grows larger in flame each time you catch a fish. After catching five consecutive fish, it will be fully lit. When this happens, you have a 26% chance to get the Birthday Mutation, which has a whopping x8 value multiplier. You'll also get a 65% progress multiplier while fishing if the fish you have caught has a Birthday Mutation.
All Fisch 2nd Anniversary Event Rewards
You can also get unique rewards each time you add a unique fish part of the Anniversary Bestiary to the Pool. Below, I have listed all these rewards and the count required to obtain them.
