The fishing skill allows you to craft and use Bushcraft Fishingpoles and Primitive Casting-Rods and to fish for different types of fish. The fishing skill benefits from completion of the Credos - Fisherman.

In-Game Text

"The fathoms give nothing,
Yield not a single thing,
But to the fishermens' snares."

You have mastered some basic fishing techniques, and can craft rods, poles, hooks and lures.

There are two types of fishing: Rod and pole. Pole fishing uses various forms of live or fleshy bait -- such as earthworms, entrails, or ants -- whereas Rod fishing uses lures. Fishing poles catch fish immediately whenever they bite, but the more demanding Rod fishing rather requires you to actually land the Fish by figuring out the many riddles of the sport. The truly rare fish of the world are caught with rods.

How to Fish

To fish you need 4 items combined together with the fishing skill:

1. A Fishing Pole
2. Fishing Line
3. Fish Hook
4. Lures or Bait

Fishing Pole

Craft Either a Bushcraft Fishingpole or a Primitive Casting-Rod.

• Primitive Casting-Rod can be used with lures, which are not consumed as fish are caught.

• Bushcraft Fishingpole uses bait, and fish are caught automatically and bait consumed.

More info to be Added on Fishing pole specs

Fishing Line

All String, except Hide Straps and Stinging Nettle, count as Fishing Line. Spindly Taproots, Yarn, Finer Plant Fibres, and Silk Thread all work.

Be aware that fishing line can break, so if high quality string is difficult for you to find it might be safer to opt for more abundant, lower quality string. If you are very serious about fishing you will want to raise your own plant fibre to get the best quality fishing line you can.

Fish Hook

A fish hook is added to the fishing pole by left clicking on the hook and then right clicking on the fishing pole. Currently, there are four types of fish hooks.

• Bone Hook
• Chitin Hook
• Gold Hook
• Metal Hook

Be aware that, much like the fishing line, you can lose your fishing hook. Using your prized gold nugget passed down by your ancestors might not be wise.

Bait

Bait is expendable meaning you can catch at maximum one fish per bait.

Some types of bait include: Ant Empress, Ant Larvae, Ant Pupae, Ant Queen, Ant Soldiers, Aphids, Bay Shrimp, Bee Larvae, Brimstone Butterfly, Cave Moth, Chum Bait, Earthworm, Emerald Dragonfly, Entrails, Firefly, Grasshopper, Grub, Ladybug, Leech, Monarch Butterfly, Moonmoth, Raw Crab, Raw Lobster, Ruby Dragonfly, Sand Flea, Silkmoth, Silkworm, Silkworm Egg, Springtime Bumblebee, Stag Beetle, Tick, Waterstrider, Woodworm Ant Empress, Ant Larvae, Ant Pupae, Ant Queen, Ant Soldiers, Aphids

Lure

Lures are durable, but they can be lost.

Fishing Trash

When something is dropped in a body of water, it is added to a global pool of items that can be fished up anywhere in the world or found buried on the beach. Some people use this feature for charity by throwing their old equipment in the river. You can also drop a written parchment to send a message to a random fisherman as if it were a message in a bottle.

Fish

Quoting Jorb:

Fish are now a limited and localized resource, working in the same way as any other localized resource. You should notice fish jumping in the water if the area has fish. What you catch when fishing depends on the following factors: Time of day, location, lure, hook, pole and line type as well as the quality level of each piece of fishing equipment.
