# A timer begins for casting. Cast by moving the mouse. When the circle is not red, left-click to cast at that spot.
# A 2nd timer starts (3 minutes). During this time, the following can happen:
* After a delay, a fish will appear and swim to the hook where it will take a bite (the float bobs up and down as well as the line moves). A splashing sound can be heard if your sound is turned on.
* You have a limited time to try to hook the fish (by left-clicking anywhere on the screen).
* If you manage to hook a fish it will try to get away, during this time you may see the fish moving away from or closer to you. It is helpful to swivel right or left to create tension on your line, essentially try to keep it taut pulling opposite direction of the fish.
** If the fish gets too far away, it will escape.
** If the fish gets close to you, it will be caught.
# A timer will start, waiting for fish to arrive.
*The net will sway on screen and no other action is required.
** Nets will need to be emptied once a item is caught.
==Equipment==
You will need a fishing pole or rod, equipped with a fishing reel, fishing line, float and hook.
A [[tackle box]] can help keep your accessories organized.
Fishing poles and rods have less chance of breaking if they are made of willow. Rods made of lemon or orange do not have any effect on fishing success chance.
===Fishing Reels===
[[Corn kernel]] - from corn.
Each time a fish bites on a baited line, the bait will take damage (e.g. the fish eats a bit of it). Bait is not required to catch fish (i.e. you can catch fish without bait), but the chances are a lot lower. Different fish prefer different bait.
==General Attributes of Fish Types==
* The higher the quality of the fish, the more weight the fish will have. Each species has a weight-to-quality ratio. For example, a high quality roach will likely never outweigh any quality of catfish.
