Raising your Fishing Skill

---

(Note, the normal, uncoloured Fish as used in cooking does not any points)
Handing the fish you've caught back to the hole will often give you points in your fishing skill, depending on the message you receive upon doing so:

1. If the message comes that the fish is stunned, you get no points:
   • It seems a bit stunned, but after a few seconds it swims away.
     
2. If the message comes that the fish swims away strongly, you get 1 point:
   • The fish splashes happily into the water. It seems shaken, but swims away strongly.
     
3. If the message comes that the fish splashes happily (without the swimming), you get 2 points:
   • The fish splashes happily into the water.
     

Catching certain fish will also increase your fishing skill:

• Minnow: 0 points per catch
• Guppy: 1 point per catch
• Molly: 1 point per catch
• Fish: 1 point per catch
• Large Fish: 2 points per catch

Lore & Dialog

Tackle Master tells you, "First, you need a fishing pole. I can make one for you, but I'll need a Golem Jo or a Wood Golem Heart to assemble it. I remember my first fishing pole, it was just a stick with some string. I couldn't catch a cold with that thing."
Tackle Master tells you, "Second, you need a fishing license. I sell licenses for a C note, allowing you to fish for a whole day."
Tackle Master tells you, "And last, you need patience. Just enjoy the peace that fishing brings and talk to your fellow fisherman, but don't believe all their fish stories, heh."
