===Lore===
To discover what species of [[Fish]] you'll be able to fish on a given water tile, activate any fishing tool in your inventory then right-click the tile and select Lore from the menu. The Lore function, as it relates to fishing, is a little like the [[Prospecting]] function in [[Mining]], in that you will receive more information about the tile, including the type of tile and its depth in metres, if you have a higher fishing skill. Different fishing tools will reveal different information. Using Lore does not appear to increase fishing skill.
Known data points revealed by the Lore function include:
* The most-common species of fish you're likely to catch on this tile. This info is available at even very low fishing skill.
* The type of tile: pond, lake, lake shallows, sea, or sea shallows. This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal (works at 88 skill, but more testing is needed to establish the minimum threshold).
* The depth in metres of the tile. This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal (works at 88 skill, but more testing is needed to establish the minimum threshold).
* What other species of fish may be caught on the tile, if any. This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal (works at 88 skill, but more testing is needed to establish the minimum threshold)of ~29.
* Whether your rod is currently baited. This info requires a higher fishing skill to reveal (works at 88 skill, but more testing is needed to establish the minimum threshold).
# 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.
[[Twig]] - found on bush tiles.
[[Small moss]] - taken from moss. Cut a piece of moss with a carving knife.
[[Bark]] - found on overaged birch trees, with an awl equipped.any item activated
Floats will take damage over time when used, and will need replacing from time to time. They will auto-replace from the same float type in the tackle box at the end of a fish action.
* 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.
