Do you use "for" when talking about fishing? I'm fishing piranhas or I'm fishing for piranhas I'm fishing salmon or I'm fishing for salmon

Yes, you need "for" because "to fish" in this example is intransitive. I'm fishing for piranhas. I'm fishing for salmon. I'm fishing for compliments. :)

Yes. Definitely use "for" in that instance and when using that word order. Also, you could also say "I'm salmon fishing" in which case you wouldn't use "for".
