A Fishing cape can be purchased for 99,000 coins from the master fisher standing outside the Fishing Guild by players who have achieved level 99 Fishing. It is the Cape of Accomplishment for the Fishing skill. Fishing capes are light blue in colour, and have a gold trim if the player has more than one level 99 skill.

Trivia

• After the release of Runescape HD, the Fishing cape seemed to have two different trims if the player had more than one 99 skill: the familiar gold for males and a new red trim for females. This was eventually fixed by Jagex.
• Unlike most other Cape of Accomplishments, the Fishing symbol on the back is noticeably too large for the cape and so the trim covers part of the icon.
• Unlike other skillcapes, if you look really closely at the untrimmed version, it looks like that the blue bit on the outside is already trimmed but not deattached.

The glitch where Fishing Skillcapes trims became purple.
