{{TOC|left}} '''Fishing''' is the process of catching [[Wildlife#Fish|wildlife in the water]] and is one way to collect [[Food and Drink|food]] for [[Character Status|sustenance]]. There are two methods to catching fish in ''[[DayZ]]'': by using a (Simple) Fishing Rod or by using Fishing Traps. {{Clear|left}} == Tools of the Trade == [[File:FishingRod.png|frameless|right|300px]] [[File:Fish Net Trap.png|frameless|right|250px]] [[File:Small fish trap.png|frameless|right|100px]] ;Rods * [[Fishing Rod]] * [[Simple Fishing Rod]] <br /> ;Hooks & Bait * [[Fishing Hook]] ** [[Fishing Bait]] * [[Bone Fishing Hook]] ** [[Bone Fishing Bait]] * [[Earthworm]]s <br /> ;Traps *[[Fish Net Trap]] *[[Small Fish Trap]] {{Clear|left}} == Using a Rod == [[File:Fishing_2a.jpg|frameless|right|300px]] * This active method of fishing is used to catch [[Carp]] in fresh water (inland ponds and rivers) and [[Mackerel]] in salt water (coastal sea). In order to use this method - you will need to be in possession of: # [[Fishing Rod]] or [[Simple Fishing Rod]]. # [[Fishing Hook]] or a [[Bone Fishing Hook]] to attach bait to. # A [[knife]], [[shovel]] or a [[pickaxe]] to dig up [[Earthworm]]s for use as bait. (Look at your feet whilst wielding either tool and use the "'''''Dig For Worms'''''" option.) # (<u>Recommended Tip)</u> A [[Knife (disambiguation)|Knife]] is needed to clean and fillet your fish for [[Cooking]] afterwards so ensure your tool has enough durability to prepare your catch afterwards! '''<u>To begin fishing</u>''': #Locate a body of water, either an inland pond or the coastal sea waters. Some inland rivers and bodies of water will allow you to fish in them if they are deep enough! #Attach your [[Earthworm|earthworm]] to your hook by taking either item into your hands and combining it with the other to create your [[Fishing Bait|bait]]. # Place the Fishing Rod of choice in your hands and place the Baited Hook into the Hook slot on the Rod. #Stand by the shore and left click to cast your line. Hold left click until the crafting circle has completed. #A distinct tugging animation will alert when something is caught and the player will reach out and take the item off the line with a clicking confirmation sound. #The caught item will spawn under the player; whether it be junk ('''''There is a chance of pulling out a [[Cooking Pot]] or a pair of [[Wellies]] when fishing''''') or a fish. #Every "successful" catch will consume an Earthworm. Remove the Hook from the Fishing Rod and attach another [[Earthworm]] before casting your line again. == Fishing Rod Notes: == * Every catch will degrade the quality of your Hook slowly. Ruined Hooks are unusable and can be discarded. * [[Bone Fishing Hook]] (only 4 catches) is significantly easier to acquire-craft versus [[Fishing Hook]] (6+ catches) and as such: has a lower durability and will catch less fish overall. * Between 5 and 9 o'clock in the morning, and 6 and 10 in the evening, there's approximately 30-50% higher chance of catching a fish. * The [[Wellies]] pulled up with the Fishing Rod will be of a random quality, from Pristine to Ruined and can be equipped normally if the player requires replacement footwear. * The caught [[Cooking Pot|Cooking Pots]] will contain water contaminated with [[Cholera]] pathogens. {{Clear|right}} == Using a Trap == [[File:FishingTrap_InUse.jpg|frameless|right|300px]] Entirely different to the process of using a fishing rod; using a trap to capture fish is a much more passive approach. There are two very different traps available for use but both are craftable items and cannot be found as loot. # [[Small Fish Trap]], constructed from a [[PET Bottle|plastic bottle]], used for catching [[Bitterlings]] in fresh water and [[Sardines]] in salt water. # [[Fish Net Trap]], constructed from [[Metal Wire]] and [[Netting]], used for catching [[Carp]] in fresh water and [[Mackerel]] in salt water. Once you have crafted a trap, you should add [[Earthworm|worms]] as bait - a consumable that must be replaced with every catch, the same as using a rod. You can still use the traps without bait but you will only have a 15% chance to catch anything compared to the 85% when using bait. Each time you use a trap its condition will be reduced by one step meaning you can only use a trap 4 times. ===== <u>Fishing with Traps:</u> ===== # Place the trap in any body of water and add an [[Earthworm]]. # Wait 15 to 25 minutes for the trap to do its work. # You will see that the trap has changed position and your catch will be next to it. ==Media== {{#ev:youtube|Uad96OMJ0-c|400|inline|}} == See Also == * [[Wildlife]] * [[Hunting]] * [[Cooking]] * [[Crafting]] [[Category:Fishing]]
