Disclaimer: While some of these gph values look extremely high, there's a huge variance in what you could actually get in 1 hour. For example, a farm could be 35gph, but the range of possible gph could be about 20gph to 37gph. Fishing is truly RNG. The more catches you can get, the more of a chance to get those high valued fish. The higher the bench, the higher your avg gph run will be.
Avg Node => Avg amount of nodes in a route
Avg Time => Avg amount of time to complete a route
Bench => (Avg Nodes * (Catch Rate * 3)) * (60 / Avg Time)
Routes change per instance. General routes can be found by picking an areaon the top of the page marked by arrows. I recommend fish farming a map that contains both a good day and nighttime gph. Testing still needs to be made for more maps and routes so stay tuned for more.

Your party members can also contribute to the stack for each successful fish captured in a hole. Check the Fishing Buffs table for the breakdown of each tier.
