- At a fishing location press F to start fishing.
- Select your rod and bait.
- Press and hold left mouse button to aim and cast your rod.
- The fish will now bite your bait (if not you’re using the wrong bait).
- Left click again to start reeling in.
- Hold/release left click to adjust tension.
- Keep the tension within the yellow area on the tension meter. This will charge your hook icon.
- Once the hook icon is full you will get the fish.
