==Equipment==
You will need a fishing pole or rod, equipped with a fishing reel, fishing line, float and hook.
You can also catch small fish using a [[fishing net]].
A [[tackle box]] can help keep your accessories organized.
There are four types of fishing reels, which are used for catching different types of fish:
[[Light fishing reel]]
[[Professional fishing reel]]
Fishing Reels reels are added to rods so that they can be used for fishing. A fishing reel holds up to 1 line (which in turn may contain other things), and may be placed in a rod. Fishing Reels reels will take damage from use, with rare fishing reels taking less damage.
Rare reels also make it easier to reel the fish in.
Different handles are used when making certain reels, they are:
[[Handle]] - same item as current in-game version.
[[Padded handle]]
[[Basic fishing line]] - used on pole, may only contain a (wood or metal) hook
[[Light fishing line]] - used on light fishing reel, used to catch smaller fish
[[Braided fishing line]] - used on professional fishing reel, used to catch ‘special’ fish
Floats has to be added to lines, to be able to see when a fish can be hooked. There are 4 types of float:
Rare floats will take less damage.
Hooks are added to lines to catch fish. There are 3 types of hook:
[[Wooden fishing hook]] - same as current item, better for fly fishing
Hooks behave as a container, which may contain bait, and will take damage over time as they are used. They will be auto-replaced using the same hook type from the tackle box at the end of fish action if necessary; if a hook is replaced, the bait will not be auto-replaced.
Rare hooks are better at keeping a fish on the hook.
Wood type will affect how fast a fish turns up. The default is a modifier of 1, and each wood type modifier is additive to the default, so creating the right hook can nearly halve the time for a fish to turn up. The lower the modifier % in the chart below, the quicker the interval of time in which the fish turns up, i.e. the more effective the hook. (Example: Lemon/Orange is the preferred wood type for quickest results).

'''[[Bait]]'''
When used on a hook, baits increase the chance of catching a particular fish. There are 12 types of bait:
All fish now have a set of attributes which determine where and when they are more likely to be caught:
== Special Fishing Tiles ==
In certain locations, far out at sea, one can find what are known as "special fishing tiles". These tiles are special because of their relatively low number Wurm-wide as well as the special types of fish which can be found there.
