The Fishing Post signifies that fishing is available. However, keep in mind that if there are no fish nearby, you will get a 'No Fish' notification and you won’t be able to cast your line.

Shadows in the Water

You can check the fish's shadows in the water to help locate them while fishing. The bigger shadows tend to be high rarity fish, so you can identify the best spots to cast your line. Look for movement or changes in the shadows to gauge the presence of fish.

Hold and Release to Cast the Line

Press the 'Hold' button and release to cast the line.You can check the green gauge at the right side to determine how far your line will go. The more you fill it up, the farther your line will go.

Keep Hook in the Green Bar

Your goal is to keep the hook aligned within the green bar on the gauge. This bar indicates the optimal zone for successfully reeling in the fish. As the fish struggles, you may need to adjust your hold strength. Too much tension or too little could allow the fish to escape.

You Can Only See the Fishes Caught Afterwards

Cult of the Lamb Fish Types Image

During fishing, you can only see the fish's shadows, and only after successfully catching them can you see what you have caught. You can use the size of the shadows to predict what kind of fish you will likely get.

Tip!If the shadows are big, you are likely to get rare fish types, while small fish shadows have a high chance of yielding common fish types.

Just Keep Fishing

Getting a specific type of fish totally depends on luck as the actual catch is unpredictable. There's a high chance that you might reel in common fish most of the time. Sometimes, it takes numerous attempts before you finally get a Squid or Lobster.
