How to Fish
Find a Fish Shadow
To start fishing, head to any body of water and look for a Fish Shadow. You can easily spot these as they're visibly swimming around. Just be mindful of their level, as the higher the fish's level is, the harder it will be to catch.
Cast Your Rod
After spotting a Fish Shadow, simply cast your rod and wait for the fish to bite. It may take a while depending on where you cast your rod, but as soon as the fish turns around, they'll bite soon after!
Reel Once the Bobber Sinks
Once the fish bites, immediately reel it in. As mentioned above, the best way to tell when a fish is about to bite is when it starts facing the bait. So make sure to watch the fish's behavior before reeling.
Reel Immediately to Perform a Counter Hook
Precisely reeling in after the bobber sinks performs a Counter Hook. This helps you start reeling with the fish at lower health, saving SP in the process!
Deplete the Fish's HP to Catch
While reeling, you have the choice to either perform a Normal or a Powerful Reel. As with other Gathering Life mechanics, using anything Powerful will drain your SP! Only use it when you've found a sweet spot or are preparing for an EXCELLENT reel.
Use Powerful Reel to Get EXCELLENT
To get an EXCELLENT reel when fishing, simply drain the fish's health bar to at least 5%. Once it's low enough, use a Powerful Reel and it should result in an EXCELLENT reel.

How to Find the Sweet Spot When Fishing
Change Reeling Direction
You can find the Sweet Spot in Fishing by simply changing the angle of your reel. Keep adjusting your angle until it says SWEET, then keep reeling from that direction to drain the fish's health bar further.
Reeling Too Much on the Same Spot Will Anger the Fish
Keep in mind that spamming in the same direction can cause the fish to get angry. Keep your reels at a steady pace to prevent this.
If you do manage to anger a fish, however, it will change its direction and sweet spot, making you look for it again.
What to Do With Fishes
Sell Fishes for Dosh
Fishes you catch can be sold for a solid chunk of Dosh, especially the rarer and larger ones. Head to any shop and offload your extra catch to line your pockets.
Use Fishes as Ingredients for Cooking
Your fish aren’t just good for selling, they’re delicious too! Many fish can be used as ingredients in recipes you’ll whip up with the Cook Life. Cooking dishes can restore HP and also boost some stats temporarily.
Some rare dishes even require specific fish types, so hold onto those elusive catches for when it matters.
How to Unlock Fishing
Join the Angler Life
Fishing can be unlocked by joining the Angler Life. You can change lives at the Guild, so simply talk to Auntie Anne again if you didn’t start with this life.
