If you want to make the most of your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you must learn how to fish. Fortunately, Nintendo makes it easy for you to pick up a fishing rod and start catching the rarest creatures. Once you figure out the basic fishing techniques, fishing will soon become a profitable way to spend your time in New Horizons.

Obtain a fishing rod

Before you can catch sharks and coelacanths, you need a fishing rod. Unlike the previous Animal Crossing games, the fishing rods and all other tools are destructible-after dozens of uses, the fishing rod will snap and you need to craft a new one. There are dozens of different fishing rods to choose from in New Horizons, each of which is stronger than the previous one. These include:

§ Flimsy Fishing Rod (10 catches)

§ Sturdy Fishing Rod (30 catches)

§ Golden Fishing Rod (90 catches)

If you have the necessary components and DIY recipes, you can head over to your workbench and begin the crafting process. Anyone who doesn't like DIY projects can usually pick up a fishing rod from Nook's Cranny for a couple of Animal Crossing Bells.

How to fish

Once you have nabbed the fishing rod, you don't need to do anything else before heading out to your local waterways. However, you can't just throw the fishing line wherever you want, and expect the fish to come nibbling.

Instead, you have to scout out the fish individually by looking for dark shadows lurking under the water. They have six different sizes, and each size corresponds to a different set of fish. In the game, the shadow of the sea bass is always larger, and the shadow of the guppy is the smallest.

With your villager facing the shadow, it's finally time to cast out your line. Navigate to the fishing rod in your inventory, chose the Hold option, and press the A button to cast out your line. You might have to reposition yourself a few times and recast, but eventually the fish will see your bobber and start to nibble on the line. Try to drop the bobber directly in front of your target to give it the best chance of connecting.

With the fish interested in the line, be patient and wait for the bobber to go completely underwater. When this happens, press and hold the A button to reel it in. Press it too slow and the fish will getaway. Press it too early and you’ll scare the fish off before it's fully on the hook. It takes a bit of practice, but before you know it yo'll be a fishing master.

Using fish bait

Although this is not necessary, if you want to speed up the fishing process, it is worth the extra minutes to craft some bait. Using this item, you will be able to lure fish to your location instead of wandering around your island looking for them. The best way to get bait is by handcrafting, you only need one resource, to do this manila clam.
