Basics of fishing

Casting the line

Once you have everything equipped and the rod in your hands , if you enter combat mode or hold left click, you will enter the first phase of fishing: casting the line. The distance you throw the line depends on how long you hold left click.

After the line has hit the waters , you will have to keep an eye out for your floater. When it goes under water, press left click to yank the line and see if anything has been hooked. If a fish has bitten then you enter the second phase of fishing : the reeling

The Reeling

Once you enter the reeling phase, you will see a bar on your right side that will rise and fall as you reel and let go of your hooked fish. The fish will pull back and try to snap your line. Various fishing lines will have different strengths and you will be able to catch bigger fish. You can reel by using the scroll wheel (scroll down to reel the line closer, scroll up to release the line). You can also use the shift key to reel in faster. If you stay in the red zone for too long while trying to reel in your fish, your fishing line will snap and you will lose your line, floater, hook and bait. so you will need to balance your reeling while fishing.

If you manage to reel the fish in, you will see your catch in front of you, with a little window showcasing its length, weight, and options to keep the fish or release it back into the water.

Advanced Mechanics

As any well experienced fisherman will tell you there are conditions that influence what fish you are able to catch.

There are multiple conditions you must think about when going fishing. These include:

• Time of day.
• Size of the body of water.
• The bait you use.
• And the quality of the line.
