To cast a fishing rod into a body of water, hold down the Use Tool button (''i.e.'', the left mouse button on PC or the X button on Xbox). A meter appears, indicating how far the line will go. Release to cast. It is also possible to slightly alter the line's placement mid-cast with the movement keys, allowing you better control over aiming the cast.

When a fish bites, the bobble wiggles and an exclamation point appears above the player's head. Click the left mouse button (or the X button on Xbox) to start the mini-game.
When a fish bites, the bobble wiggles and an exclamation point appears above the player's head along with a distinct sound. Click the Use Tool button to start the mini-game.
The mini-game display contains a movable green rectangle that indicates the area of effect for your fishing line. The goal of the fishing mini-game is to keep the small fish icon within the green rectangle until the progress bar to the right is completely filled. If the fish's icon moves above or below the green rectangle, the progress bar decreases, and the fish escapes if the progress bar reaches the bottom.

You can raise the green rectangle by pressing the Use Tool button. Slower clicking holds the green in place when it is not on the bottom. Hold the left mouse button to raise it at increasing speed. Be careful moving it, though, for it gathers momentum quickly and takes time to reverse, making it easy to overshoot the fish and drain the progress bar.

Upon catching a catch, the name of the fish and its size is displayed. Players can keep track of how many fish they have caught and their record lengths in their [[Collections#Fish|Collections menu]].
