How to get Anomalous Log in Fisch? (Full Guide)

Log in Fisch is a trash-type catch. That’s important, because it flips your usual fishing mindset.

Normally in fishing games you stack luck, use rare rods, equip premium bait, and hope for high-tier fish. For logs, doing that is almost the worst thing you can do. Logs sit in the “junk” part of the loot table, so when you boost your luck too much, you quietly push them out of the pool.

Anomalous Log is just a special version you might need for certain crafts or quests, but you still catch it the same way: by forcing trash outcomes more often and rolling the fishing dice a lot.

Once I stopped treating logs like rare fish and started treating them like “intentional garbage,” I started pulling them pretty consistently.

Step 1: Go to the Best Log Farming Spots

Even though logs are regionless (you can technically get them anywhere), some places just feel better in practice. After testing and comparing with what other players tend to farm, these are the spots that make the grind feel a lot less painful:

• Freshwater Pond in Ancient Isle
  This is my go-to if I want a calm spot. No distractions, just cast and reel.

• Waterfall in Ancient Isles
  Slightly more scenic and some people swear by the luck here, especially during certain times.

• Desolate Pocket, Clam Abundance, and Rosellet Bay
  These are good mid-to-late game areas if you’re already spending time there for other catches.

• Coral Reef in Rosit Bay
  Great if you like a bit of variety while still being able to pull trash consistently.

From experience, Freshwater Pond and Coral Reef in Rosit Bay have been the most “mentally comfortable” to grind in. You’re not fighting anything, there’s no weird terrain, and you can just focus on fishing and checking your inventory.

You don’t have to go to these, but if you’re struggling in random locations, it’s worth moving to one of these known spots.

Step 2: Use the Right Rod (Low Luck, Not High)

This is the part that feels wrong at first:
for logs, a worse rod is better.

Log is a trash item, which means high-luck rods naturally avoid it. So instead of flexing your strongest setup, you actually want to “downgrade” deliberately.

What’s worked best for me:

• Training Rod – basic, low-luck, perfect for trash

• Any low-tier rod that doesn’t boost luck at all

If you use a rod with high luck, lots of enchants, and rare bonuses, the game will try its best to give you proper fish instead of junk. That’s the opposite of what you want here.

When I swapped from a high-tier rod back down to a Training Rod, the difference in log frequency was honestly kind of funny. It went from “I swear this item doesn’t exist” to “oh, there it is again.”

Step 3: Bring the Right Bait (Or No Bait at All)

For log farming, you don’t want anything that improves catch quality. You either want neutral bait, or bait that actively tanks your luck.

Two main bait options are worth talking about:

• Magnet Bait
  This doesn’t specifically target logs, but it helps you get more bites overall, which means more rolls at the loot table. You’re not making logs more likely per se, but you’re speeding up attempts.

• Garbage Bait
  This is where things get interesting. Garbage bait drops your rod’s luck stat by 250%, which is huge. That shift makes the trash pool show up more often, and that includes logs.

When I was being lazy and wanted a more casual grind, I just used no bait at all on a bad rod and still got logs. When I wanted to push hard for logs or anomalous logs, the best combo was:

Training Rod + Garbage Bait in a known good spot (like Ancient Isle Pond)

Magnet bait is nice if you already have a stack of it, but if the choice is between “strong bait” and “no bait with low luck,” I’d honestly go low luck every time.

Step 4: How I Actually Farm Logs (Step-by-Step Routine)

Here’s the basic routine that worked best for me and that you can just copy:

1. Travel to a consistent spot
   I usually go to Freshwater Pond in Ancient Isle or Coral Reef in Rosit Bay.

2. Equip a low-luck rod
   Training Rod, no enchants, nothing fancy.

3. Add Garbage Bait (optional but very strong)
   If you don’t have Garbage Bait, you can skip bait entirely.

4. Start fishing and don’t overthink it
   Just cast and reel. Don’t worry about catching “good” fish. You’re aiming for junk.

5. Watch your inventory instead of your expectations
   Logs will mix in with trash items. I found that I often had more logs than I realized because I wasn’t checking properly.

6. If it feels dead for a long stretch, change spot, not rod
   Sometimes RNG just goes cold. Instead of re-enchanting rods or buying new bait, just switch to another known good area and keep going.

The biggest mindset shift for me was treating log farming as a background grind rather than a “I need 1 log this second or I’ll lose my mind” situation. Doing it while you’re also watching something or chatting makes the randomness much more tolerable.

Step 5: Anomalous Log – Same Logic, Just More Patience

If you specifically need Anomalous Log, the game doesn’t explain a deeper unique mechanic in what you shared, so the safest assumption (and what I’ve seen people do) is:

• You farm logs the same way

• Anomalous versions come through RNG in the same trash pool

• Low-luck setups still apply

In other words, if your goal is “any type of log,” you do not want high luck or high-tier rods for this grind. The more you lean into trash-friendly setups, the more likely you are to see logs and any variants you’re chasing.

Common Mistakes That Slow You Down

From my own trial-and-error, these are the things that wasted the most time:

• Using your best rod “because it’s rare”
  Great for fish, terrible for trash.

• Stacking luck enchants
  Feels powerful, but it quietly lowers trash rates.

• Changing bait constantly
  Once you’re on low luck + trash-friendly bait, switching bait non-stop won’t magically fix RNG.

• Fishing in random regions every 2 minutes
  Regionless doesn’t mean all spots feel equal. Sticking to a proven area for at least a proper session is better than running in circles.

Log (and anomalous log) farming in Fisch is basically the one time the game wants you to stop being “efficient” in the usual sense and purposely scuff your setup. When I embraced that and went back to the most basic possible rod with trash-friendly bait, the grind felt much less cursed.

If I had to boil it down to one sentence:

Use a bad rod, in a good spot, with trash-focused bait, and give it enough time.

That’s really the core of it.
