Method

• Activate the fishing rod or fine fishing rod
• Right click on water tile or a boat you are sailing
• Select Fish.

You can only fish on tiles that are fully submerged under water.

You cannot fish while swimming or standing on a water tile. What you need to stand on is a tile that is half above and half below water, and not so steep that you cannot stand on it without sliding in. Then stand on the part that is not submerged and fish the adjacent tile which is fully submerged. Note that you can also fish from a tile 2 - 3 tiles away from you rather than just the closest tile.

Alternatively you can use a boat: Head out to deep water, activate your fishing rod, right click on your boat and select Fish. Note that you will probably have to moor the boat first or it will drift too far to complete the action. It may help to embark on the boat as passenger rather than commander.

Notes

• Fishing in deep water can give better fish.
• Fishing skill goes up as you fish, not when you catch the fish.
• Fishing is close to impossible in small pools (less than 4x4) of water.
• It is possible to make a fishing pond inside a cave, but you will only catch some types of fish.
• Lurker in the deep cast on a pendulum will help you find good fishing spots for rare fish like white shark.
