[[Fish]]: what do they mean to you? Perhaps they’re your primary source of income, having fashioned yourself a career in angling. Perhaps they’re your main expense, as you munch your way through death-defying [[combat]] encounters. Whatever they mean to you, there is a band of expert fishermen who are simply keen to spread the joy that fishing brings them. As such, they have opened their little-known island, [[Isla Anglerine]], for regular ‘[[Fish Flingers]]’ fishing competitions that are open to the masses. Doing well in these competitions will reward you with Fishing XP, raw fish and tackle boxes - useful for keeping your fishing gear tidy.

If you spend time around [[Catherby]] or the [[Fishing Guild]], then you’ll occasionally find [[Fisherman (Fish Flingers)|expert fishermen]] wandering around, who will be happy to give you more information about ''Fish Flingers'' and teleport you to Isla Anglerine. The competitions run every 90 minutes, with the island’s waiting area opening five minutes before each competition starts. You don’t need to bring any equipment, and there is no need to store any items in the bank before playing.

What makes the island ideal is the schools of unusual fish subspecies it attracts. With the [[tackle box]] provided, can you find the ideal tackle for each type of fish? Should you use worms or crickets as bait? Which hook is best? How far from the shore are the largest fish? Are they at the docks or perhaps the beach?

Select your tackle and cast your line, then refine your technique to land more and bigger fish than your competitors. There’s everything to play for as you accumulate medals and awards for various feats. Make sure you use your time in the competition wisely, though, as to give everyone a fair chance the expert fishermen have limited each avid angler to ten competitions a week.

As well as a healthy dose of raw fish and raw [[Fishing]] experience, with time, you’ll also gain the opportunity to purchase tackle boxes, items that should make fishing trips a more organised affair.

'''In other news...'''

[[Rune guardian]] pets from the ''[[Rune Mechanics]]'' quest will now change colour when you use them on any [[Runecrafting altar]] but [[Ourania Runecrafting Altar|Ourania]]. To get a new, ‘blank’ rune guardian, talk to [[Apprentice Clerval|Clerval]] after storing your current guardian in your POH [[menagerie]].

Rune guardian pets are also able to channel the energies of the four element altars (air, water, earth and fire) into [[infinity robes]] (hat, top and bottom) to change their colour too. These can be changed back to normal by using them on your rune guardian pet.

The number of pets you can store in your player-owned house menagerie has been increased from 10 to 15, but only if you've built a [[mahogany pet feeder]]{{sic}} and you have a [[Consecrated pet house|consecrated]], [[Desecrated pet house|desecrated]] or [[natural pet house]].

You can now store the [[Helmet of trials|Helmet of Trials]] and [[Mask of dragith nurn|Mask of Dragith Nurn]], both from ''[[The Blood Pact]]'', in your POH [[costume room]].

After completing the ''[[Making History]]'' quest you can now re-obtain [[mjolnir]]s. You can buy a replacement key after completing the quest to allow you to find another mjolnir.

You can use extreme [[Herblore]] potions in ''[[Clan Wars]]'', providing the ‘Potions’ option is enabled by the organiser and the ‘Dangerous’ option is off.

Any players who had built multiple [[Shattered Heart]] statues in their player-owned house will find that they've been removed. As soon as you rebuild the statue in your study, the statue will be rebuilt to its previous state. If you had already removed a duplicate statue, any progress will have been lost.
