A method of producing a fiber is provided, the method including extruding, from a spinneret, a spinning dope solution containing a fiber-forming polymer dissolved in a solvent, once allowing the solution to run in air, and then guiding the solution into the liquid of a coagulation bath to allow coagulation, wherein a gas-phase portion formed in a vertically downward direction from an extrusion surface of the spinneret to the liquid surface of the coagulation bath has a unidirectional air flow, and has an air flow rate per unit time (Af) which satisfies, in relation to the amount of the solvent in the spinning dope solution per unit time (As) in the gas-phase-portion volume (Vh), the relational expression 0.0008 m3≤Af/(As/Vh)≤0.0015 m3. A method of producing a fiber, which, in dry-jet wet spinning, suppresses occurrence of dew condensation in the spinneret, and reduces deterioration of the appearance caused by winding on rollers in the subsequent process or by fuzzing or yarn break in the stretching process, to enable significant improvement of the productivity and the appearance as a whole, is provided.
