These rates assume approximately 80 Fishing, with no boosts or additional items.

Fishing raw karambwan requires raw karambwanji as bait, which can only be caught at the Holy Lake, south of Tai Bwo Wannai Village, next to fairy ring CKR. At 65 Fishing it will take, on average, 6.5 minutes to collect enough raw karambwanji for one hour of fishing Karambwan. At 99 Fishing, this will take about 4 minutes. Fishing raw karambwanji in bulk is recommended as it minimises time spent travelling to and from the karambwanji fishing spot.

With sufficient bait, go to the karambwan fishing spot in north-eastern Karamja, near fairy ring DKP. There are many routes for banking and returning, depending on account progression, but at minimum, partial completion of Fairytale II - Cure a Queen is recommended.

The closest, no-requirement bank is in Shayzien near fairy ring DJR, returning via the same fairy ring. An alternative, slightly further, no-requirement bank for a more afk approach is at Zanaris, which is reachable through the fairy ring without modifying the fairy ring code.

The fastest method is to use Karamja gloves 3 or 4 to the Shilo Village mine bank deposit chest, then return using a quest point cape for quickest access to a fairy ring. Note that when using Karamja gloves to deposit karambwans, teleporting to the Ardougne Monastery with an Ardougne Cloak 1 or higher to use the fairy ring back takes roughly the same time as using the fairy ring to the Zanaris bank and back. So if the quest point cape is not unlocked, using the fairy ring to the Zanaris bank might be preferred as it requires less clicks.

For alternatives, see fastest access for banking, only a deposit box is necessary, and using Fairy Rings for fairy ring network access.

To increase yield, equip any Rada's blessing for a 2%/4%/6%/8% chance to double catch, which stacks additively with spirit flakes for an additional 50% chance to double catch. The fish barrel will increase trip duration and the ability to AFK. While below 99, a dragon harpoon special can boost Fishing and increase catch chance.

At perfect rates, it is possible to catch between 450, at level 65 Fishing with no additional items, and 875 at level 99 with all additional items and very quick banking.
