How do I get my first fishing rod?

The twins give you a Basic Rod for six clay plates in Two Peas in a Pod. Fishing I costs 15 green points and unlocks its recipe, but crafting one needs Flax Thread, unlocked for 45 green points.

What happens if I miss the bite or strain the line?

A bite comes 1 to 8 seconds after casting. Pressing before it bites makes it swim off; once the float dips, you have 0.7 to 2 seconds to react. The line flashes near breaking, and you lose the fish if it swims all the way out or the line snaps.

Start fishing

Put a fishing rod on your hotbar, stand at a fishing spot, and interact with the water. Choose bait, wait for a bite, and reel in the fish. A catch drops beside the water and counts toward the Fisher inspiration.

Fishing requires at least 1 Farming mastery, which any rod provides. A rod in your backpack does not count; it must be on your hotbar.

After casting, wait without pressing anything until the float dips and a sign appears. Press when the fish bites, then hold while it rests and release as soon as it fights.
