How to Fish Steam Achievements List
Steam lists 28 achievements. This page is not a finished 100% list: we only print official highlighted names from the Steam API plus community names that appear in sourced guides. We do not invent “Achievement N.” Open Steam Overlay for the names we have not pulled. Hidden-vs-not is Unverified — playtest unless a source said so — the API pull this pass did not include a hidden flag. Story names sit on later islands; Handyman is a How to Fish Boss Guide fight.

Steam Overlay is the missing-six authority
How to Unlock All Achievements
- Treat Steam Overlay as the authority for the 28 names.
- Finish the five-island story first; several names sit on later islands.
- Do not follow pre-1.0.5 Bean hour-run notes.
- Handyman: try last-hit melee after a gun fight (GrindnStrat) before a fists-only retry (ShowGamer). No winner.
- Collection totals (wiki 44 vs other tables) are unresolved — do not wait on a fake Fishipedia count.

Tips to 100% the Game
We cannot honestly tell you how to 100% until Overlay names and hidden flags are logged. Practical sourced advice: private lobby after 1.0.5, ignore old Bean routes, keep story trophies, and treat Drip / Collector / Fishipedia counts as conflicting. This page will stay labeled incomplete until the remaining Steam names are copied from Overlay — not guessed.
FAQ
Is this a complete 100% list?
No. We list official highlighted names from the Steam API plus community names that appear in sourced guides. Open Steam Overlay for the rest of the 28. Do not treat this page as a finished 100% checklist.
What is Bean?
A community / Steam-guide name for a sub-1-hour run. It changed after Patch 1.0.5 — ignore older hour-run notes. Not in the Steam highlighted-10 pull.
What is Handyman?
Final boss with bare hands. Patch 1.0.4 mentioned a fix. GrindnStrat: last hit is enough. ShowGamer: whole fight unequipped. Both flagged — no winner.
