Fishing — Casting and hauling

Hold Interact (E) to charge the cast, then release to throw the net. Holding longer increases the distance, from 3 m to 12 m.

Watch for the floats to dip after a bite.

Press E or attack when the floats dip; you have about half a second. Missing the bite gives an ordinary haul rather than an empty net.

After setting the hook, keep the moving weight inside the tension band.

Gentle work on the Professions page gives an ordinary haul after the wait, with no timing activity.

The catch goes straight into your bag, named by its species: +2 Largemouth Bass, as Raw Fish. Good Intelligence and Agility widen the tension band a little, and so does rank.
