Everybody has more or less their own methods of filtering in the different lakes, so I thought I'd collect your tips and methods. I start with how I do in different lakes so you can compare.
Please post your own observations or what you've heard from others, or if you try out something, tell me if it works for you or not. smile

Bass'ken lake
I always start out with the cursor in a neutral position so the rod doesn't pull any way.
1. If I can reel in the fish without moving the cursor, it's either junk, yellow guppy or orange guppy. Yellow guppies and junk move exactly the same so if you don't want the junk, you need to filter away the yellow guppies also. Orange guppies seem to jump between the sides while yellow guppies/junk change sides a bit slower.
2. If I need to move the cursor to not lose the fish, it's something else. If the fish pulls to the right so I have to stop it going over that line, it's a striper. If the fish pulls right but not enough for me to have to intervene, it's a blue bass.
The other fish I haven't figured out yet.

Port of Gambino
Junk:
Junk in Gambino is the easiest filtering in all of Gaia. Junk only pulls left and then back to the middle. It never pulls to the right unless you force it to.
Tunas:
All tunas will force you to "lay down" your rod if you use distance or distance plus. For most other fish, you need to pull as much as possible to the right (when the fish pulls left) but not that much to the left (when the fish pulls right). For tunas, they pull that much to the right as well. To determine it to be a tuna, I watch my rod. If it's in as close to a horizontal position as possible on both sides, it's a tuna.
Frozen Trouts:
These might fool you to think they are tunas. They force you to lay down your rod to the left, but not every time. If you can alternate between pulling maximum to the left, and not having to do that, it's a frozen trout.
To determine between green seedkins, cool trouts and pink seedkins, I count.
My speed for counting is this: I start on 1 when I click first time to cast my rod, and I'm on 3 when I release at the top of the power meter. You can do whatever speed you want, but this is the speed that is relevant for my numbers below.
I count how long it takes for the fish to turn to the other side.
Green seedkins:
Turn at between 5 and 8 for me. They are way slow.
Cool trouts:
Are kind of slow, they are similar to the green seedkins when it comes to staying close to the red lines. But they turn at 4 or 3.
Pink Seedkins:
I haven't studied them very much, but it seems they turn at 3 or sometimes 2.
Blue Seedkins and Warm Trouts:
I haven't found a way to distinguish between them yet.

Durem Reclamation Facility
For Durem, the main method of filtering is by counting. Everything is fast here, everything pulls hard. Count at the same speed as I said in Gambino, but note that you should ignore the first time the fish turns because it's misleading.
Junk:
Junk in Gambino always turn at 4 for me, with a few exceptions. Look out though, because Bluestone Biters have a similar turn rate.
White Pebbos:
These turn at alternating 3 and 4. The pattern looks something like this: 3,4,3,4,4,3,4,3. Look out though, because Bluestone Biters have a similar turn rate as the white pebbos as well, but white pebbos let the line be somewhat slack while bluestone biters won't give you quarters.
Brown Pebbos:
These turn at approximately 3. Easy to confuse with black pebbos and blackrocque biters solely based on the turn rate, but brown pebbos allow the line to be somewhat slack at times and can be a bit inconsistent with their turn rate. They can throw in a turn at 3,5 to confuse you o.o
Black Pebbos:
Turn at approximately 3. They can be very consistent with their rate, or they can be inconsistent. Similar to the brown pebbos, but while browns are prone to wait a little bit longer than 3 before they turn, blacks are impatient and can decide to leave at 2,5 once in a while.
Pyrite Biters:
Easiest kind of fish to be certain of in Durem. They are the quickest and want to turn at around 1,5-2,5. They have a hard pull as well so you have to lay down your rod in both directions, every turn.
Bluestone Biters:
My initial observation said that bluestone biters turn at 4 mostly, but throw in a turn at 3 to be different than the junk. That means it looks something like this: 4, 4, 3, 4, 4 etc. But i've experienced a bluestone turning as a white pebbo once so you need to both count and pay attention to how hard it pulls. Biters will always let you work your hardest to stop them from crossing the lines and escaping, while pebbos are weaker. This is not a good way to decide it's not junk, however, since junk can pull harder than pebbos and it can be hard to tell the difference between biters and junk based on that, there counting is the only way I can recommend.
Blackrocque Biters:
These turn at approximately 3, mostly a bit over that, around 3,7 or so, but I've experienced them turning at exactly 3 a couple of times as well. The fish closest to blackrocques are black pebbos. To distinguish between them you need to pay attention to how hard you need to pull. When the fish has reached one side and stopped moving towards it but remaining there, you can try to ease your pull and see if it starts pulling towards the line again (=biter) or stays put (=pebbo). You need to try this on both sides to be fairly certain.
Stone Boldurs:
These will turn at 5 and be relatively easy to reel all the way in, compared to the other boldurs.
Slate Boldurs:
Will turn at 6, bordering to 5.
Sand Boldurs:
Will turn at 6, bordering to 7.

I've noticed that pyrite biters move REALLY fast. I hardly get up to 2 or 3 before they turn again.
A fun fish to catch
