How to fish

  1. Craft a Wooden Fishing Rod (workbench) and some Tiny hooks, and dig up worms from wriggling soil in the forest.
  2. Put the rod, bait and a hook in your tackle screen beside the inventory (or right-click them there).
  3. Face the water, hold left click to charge, and release to cast. A quick tap drops the bait just in front of you, handy for fish you can see.
  4. Fish come to the bait and nibble the float with small dips. Don't strike yet.
  5. On the real bite (FISH ON!, a big dip), right click to set the hook.
  6. Hold right click to reel and use the mouse wheel to set the drag. Tighter drag reels faster and tires the fish quicker, but risks snapping the line. Reeling costs stamina.
