    Wait for the fish to bite (indicated by an exclamation mark, lure sinking, and sound), then press A again to reel it in. Hold A until the fish's HP is 0, then press A to pick it up. If no fish silhouette appears, talk to the nearby cat.

Tips
  • To fish, press the A button when the fishing prompt appears above your head near a fish silhouette.
  • When reeling in, watch the line gauge and continue holding A until the fish's HP reaches 0.
  • Fish will fight back; observe the line gauge and your character's actions.
  • You can sell fish anywhere, not just at the fish merchant.
