Equip the fishing rod and lure (left-click to pick it up then right-click the fishing rod). Click the Fish action under the Adventure menu, the cursor will change to a fishing bait. Click on a body of water. After a short while a fish may bite. Also: Lures can be removed from rods by right-clicking the rod. If the rod breaks, you will lose the lure as well, so it is advisable to remove expensive lures from rods that are close to 95% wear as the rod will break soon after. You can use a Grub as lure. A grub fed with a plant with some purity will transfer the purity to the caught fishes. It's a quicker way to improve the purity than to feed an earthworm in a container. Crafting hooks from pure metal will also transfer the purity of the metal to the fish.

Equipment Wear Fishing rods and lures are damaged with use, and this is represented as 'wear' when hovering over their icons. Equipment is damaged over time, whether a fish is hooked or not. When struggling with a fish, wear seems to tick but the effect of the wear seems to wait until you catch/lose the fish. This is apparent as your equipment will not break during the process, but often immediately after. The amount of wear per tick is determined by the type of equipment and your Flora & Fauna proficiency. NOTE: Your fishing rod will not be damaged when using bait (like earthworms), contrary to the use of lures where both the rod and the lure degrade.
