About

A Red Herring icon.png Red Herring can be caught uncommonly when Fish icon.png Fishing in both Salt and Fresh Water. Red Herring have a variable weight, starting from 0.50 kilograms and increaseing. For every 0.25 kilograms of weight you will receive a Filet of Red Herring icon.png Filet of Red Herring when right-clicking a Red Herring and selecting "Butcher". When Butchering a Fish you will also receive a Fish Skeleton icon.png Fish Skeleton and rarely Rainbow Scales icon.png Rainbow Scales, a Swim Bladder icon.png Swim Bladder, or The Elusive Last Bone icon.png The Elusive Last Bone. A Red Herring can be dried on a Drying Frame icon.png Drying Frame to make a Dried Red Herring icon.png Dried Red Herring or can be boiled in a Clay Pot icon.png Clay Pot or Copper Pot icon.png Copper Pot to make Fish Broth icon.png Fish Broth.

How to Fish

  1. Select Any Bait icon.png Any Bait and right-click it onto Any Casting Rod icon.png Any Casting Rod. Lures can later be removed by right-clicking the Rod.
  2. Equip your now baited Rod to you right hand slot.
  3. Select Fish icon.png Fish action, this will cause the cursor to change.
  4. Click on any Body of Water. Casting a Rod removes a small amount of Insanity.
  5. If Any Fish icon.png Any Fish bites it will be transferred automatically to your Inventory. There is a chance nothing bites. Each time you cast it adds wear to both your Lure and your Rod. When the wear reaches 100% it will break. Wear is reduced by your Flora & Fauna icon.png Flora & Fauna Proficiency.

Although still being tested, the strongest factors for catching a particular Fish seem to be whether it is Salt or Fresh Water and individual water tile being Fished from. Bait has a small influence and Rod does not seem to have any.
