Early on, you'll acquire a fishing rod as you progress in the game. You'll also undergo a tutorial when you reach Windward Plains, so don't worry about missing out on Wild's official explanation.

If you want to dive deeper into the sport, reach out to an NPC named Kanya in the Forest Base Camp, Scarlet Forest to start the Fishing: Life, in Microcosm side quest.

To start fishing, open up your radial menu and head over to essential items. There, select the rod. Next, press the corresponding keybinds to start the process.

Here are all the default keybinds, (however, incase the controls are changed, its better to follow the on-screen prompts):

Action	PC	PS5	Xbox
Aim	Right Click	L2	LT
Cast	Left Click	R2	RT
Move Reel	WASD	Left Joystick	Left Joystick
Reel	Left Click	R2	R2

The white circle is where the hook will fall. Decide the location and hold the line there until a fish takes the bait. It will be denoted when there are splashes on the water.

When one is caught, reel it in with either Left Click on PC or R2 on Controller. Alternate between W and S keys or Left Joystick Up and Down for a slow reel (you can also roll the stick).

If the line doesn't get any attention, you can move it around. You can also use lure to make the process easier. Golden Bughead is effective as bait for the Goldenfry.
