He is located in the house to the left of the Pokémon Center.

Lake of Rage Fishing Guru

In the Generation II and IV games, a man known as the Fishing Guru (Japanese: つりめいじん Fishing Master) lives at the Lake of Rage in the Johto region. His greatest dream is to see the world's largest Magikarp, and he regularly measures those brought to him in order to realize it. If the player brings him a large enough Magikarp, he will give the player an EtherGSHGSS/ElixerC as a prize.

Silence Bridge brother

There is also a small pond at the back of his house, where people can fish.

In the anime

Pokémon Origins

Two of the three Fishing Brothers appeared briefly in Pokémon Origins. The Vermilion Fishing Guru appeared in File 2: Cubone, where he gave Red an Old Rod. In File 3: Giovanni, Red was seen obtaining a Super Rod from Fishing Guru's younger brother at Silence Bridge.

Trivia

  • In the English version of Pokémon Gold and Silver, there are two characters known as the Fishing Guru (the brothers at Vermilion City and Lake of Rage), despite differing Japanese names. To disambiguate, the Vermilion brother is renamed to Fishing Dude in Pokémon Crystal. However, this creates a naming inconsistency with the Generation I games, where the same brother was known as the Fishing Guru.
  • The Fuchsia brother claims to be eldest of the three in Kanto-based games, while in Johto-based games the Vermilion brother claims to be the eldest (who previously claimed to be the middle one).
    • While in the English version this could be explained by brothers moving houses (with the Lake of Rage Fishing Guru being the same character who previously lived in Vermilion in Generation I, while the oldest brother, the Fishing Dude, moved from Fuchsia to his brother's house in Vermilion), this is not true in the Japanese version, in which the brother known as the Fishing Guy makes contradicting claims about his seniority.
    • The only brother whose seniority stays the same throughout all generations and language versions is the one at Silence Bridge, who is consistently referred to as the Fishing Guru's (Fishing Guy's) younger brother (although the English versions of Generation I games do not state his seniority). He is also the only brother to never get a title of his own.
