Quest StagesEdit

Stage Finishes Quest Journal Entry
4 I received a letter from Swims-In-Deep-Water about fishing challenges. I should see what it has to say.
6 Swims-In-Deep-Water is ready to resume my fishing challenges. I should speak with him when I return to the Riften Fishery.
10 Swims-In-Deep-Water has given me another fishing challenge. I should read the list he gave me to see what I will need to catch.
20 The fish that Swims-In-Deep-Water has tasked me with catching are commonly found in the freezing waters of Skyrim's snow-capped landscapes. Once I've caught one of each, I should return them to him. I can consult the third volume of Fishing Mastery to learn more about my quarry.
21 I have read the third volume of Fishing Mastery. All of the fish I need to catch to complete the challenge can be caught at fishing spots wherever there is freezing water near snow and ice. The docks of Windhelm, the water near Dawnstar, and the small lake near Nightgate Inn were mentioned as places I could try casting my line.
200 Finishes quest  I've given Swims-In-Deep-Water all of the fish he requested as proof of completing his fishing challenge.

Notes
  • Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
  • If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
  • On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage ccBGSSSE001_Fish_MQ3 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest ccBGSSSE001_Fish_MQ3.
