Fishing

Casting, hooking, and landing fish.

Requires: Cooking

Whether a fish bites and how large it is are rolled by the game. Whether it is landed is not rolled.

Casting

With a fishing rod equipped, hold to charge and release to cast. While the lure is in the water a bite is rolled once per second. When a fish bites, its weight is rolled. Large fish are rare.

The fight

A beat indicator appears at the crosshair. Its tempo is set by the fish's weight: heavier fish are slower, pull harder, and need more hauls. Clicking on the beat hauls the fish closer. Clicking off the beat still hauls but costs extra vigour. The fish swims away continuously.

Landing

Once the fish is in the shallows, hold to reel it in. The caught fish records its weight, which determines its yield when butchered; see Cooking.
