Fishing is a new game mechanic introduced in Far Cry five. After liberating Dutch's Island, players will be able to explore further and locate areas to fish. Unfortunately though, players will not be able to just fish anywhere in that location's h2o. They will need to locate (or purchase) a fishing rod, and fish in designated areas. To get a fishing rod early in the game, complete the prologue on Dutch'southward Island, and so caput to the east side of the island and locate the dock with a shop vendor on it. He will sell weapons and the first two fishing rods in the game (there are four total). Equipping a fishing rod for the first fourth dimension will start a curt tutorial on how to employ information technology.

Alternatively, a complimentary pole can be gathered in i of ii ways. The easiest is to head to Whitetail Mountains and talk to Skylar at Dylan's Master Bait Shop. She will offer the side mission Tools of the Trade that volition requite the actor a free line-fishing pole. Skylar will too teach the actor how to fish. Another style to proceeds a gratuitous pole is to locate any angling area and look on the ground. There is generally a basic pole somewhere nearby that can be picked upward and used.

Lures

Once a line-fishing rod has been acquired, the player will start with the Basic Mayfly bait. This will take hold of nigh basic fish. It is recommended that the player unlock the Fishing King perk located under Survivalist in the perks carte if they want to catch harder fish. This will allow access to other types of flies. It will also allow players to grab fish faster. This perk is required to catch the heaviest unique fish which will only be attracted to a very specific lure.

Once the perk is unlocked, four more lures unlock. They can all catch a variety of regular fish, but are required for:

Bass Popper - heavy Bass
Hybrid Sturgeon - heavy Sturgeon
Salmon Egg - heavy Salmon
Trout Bugger - heavy Trout

How to Fish

With the fishing rod in hand and the player standing well-nigh the designated water, use the appropriate command to begin a cast.

For console this is the R and L triggers. Keyboard users will use the mouse.
The left button will cause the rod to motion forward and backwards. The farther back the rod is behind the player when released, the farther the cast will land.
Use the correct button to finish the bandage.

Since this is river fishing (no bobber is used), the thespian will need to reel the line back in, a little at a time, but continuously. This will 'jerk' the fly/bait and concenter the attention of the fish. Go on this until a fish is hooked or the line is all the style in. When the allurement is too shut to shore, the remainder of the line will be reeled in automatically.

If a fish is hooked, the role player will need to tire the fish. This is done by continuing to reel in and dragging the fish with the fishing rod in the reverse management that it is attempting to swim. Be conscientious while reeling the fish in though as the line could break. If the line turns cherry-red, stop pulling and reeling for a second to soften the tension on the line. The line will over again plow back to its original colour, and the struggle tin can go along. If you proceed having trouble with the line breaking, finish reeling in equally shortly as information technology turns yellow, instead of red.

There are two things you lot're trying to exercise, which are sometimes at odds with each other:

Tire the fish out and
Go it close plenty to pick upward

This can result in doing things like:

If information technology'south coming to you, don't fight its motion ... just reel it closer
If it jumps out of the water, continue reeling and perhaps whip the rod back

When the fish is shut enough, it will be caught automatically and added to the histrion's inventory. Players tin can so take the fish to a Store to vendor it. Alternatively they tin feed the fish to Cheeseburger.
