Walkthrough

- 2Get Bait: Worms are the most common bait. You can find them in fertile land or by digging up earthworms. Alternatively, use insects or small fish as bait.
- 3Find a Fishing Spot: Look for bodies of water like lakes, rivers, or ponds. Some spots may yield better results than others.
- 4Equip Rod and Bait: Place the fishing rod in your action bar and equip it. Then, attach bait to the hook.
- 5Cast Your Line: Aim at the water and use the 'Action' key to cast.
- 6Wait for a Bite: Patience is key. You'll see a bobber and hear a sound when a fish bites.
- 7Reel In: When the bobber dips, press and hold the 'Action' key to reel in your catch. You may need to alternate between reeling and letting out line depending on the fish's strength.
- 8Check Your Catch: You'll either catch a fish (e.g., Rainbow Trout, Salmon, Perch, Zander) or sometimes other items like boots or trash.
