This guide will cover everything you need to know about fishing in Where Winds Meet.

How to Unlock Fishing in Where Winds Meet

Okay, so I figured out how to start fishing in Where Winds Meet! You gotta find this NPC named Chu Shuiyang. She’s the one who teaches you how to fish and gives you your first fishing rod – it’s called the Kid’s Fishing Rod. I found her hanging out by the water near the Stonewash Strand’s Boundary Stone in Verdant Wilds. Pretty easy once you know where to look!

Once you’ve found Chu Shuiyang, talk to her and choose the “Want a fishing rod” option. She’ll give you a Kid’s Fishing Rod, along with 30 each of Dough Bait, Worm Bait, and Plant Bait. With these items, you can enter any fishing contest and fish in any water to catch rare fish.

How to Catch Fish in Where Winds Meet

Fishing in Where Winds Meet is easy to pick up. There aren’t any complicated mechanics to learn. Just head to any water source, or a fishing competition if you’d like, and equip your Fishing Rod.

You can find the Fishing Rod in the Develop menu, under the Quick Use items. Simply select it from the quick-use list to equip it when you’re near water.

Once you have your fishing rod, you’ll need to select bait. On consoles, hold L2 + Triangle; on PC, hold Alt and use the mouse scroll wheel to choose. Then, press Square (on consoles) or E (on PC) to cast your line. Gently move your line to attract fish. When a fish bites, a bar will appear with a green section. Keep the white cursor within the green area until you see the ‘reel in’ prompt, then press the indicated key to catch the fish.

How to Get Better at Fishing in Where Winds Meet

Where Winds Meet features many different kinds of fish. The more rare fish are harder to catch because their ‘bite zone’ is smaller than those of common fish. To successfully catch these rarer fish, you’ll need to upgrade your fishing rod. A better rod has a larger bite zone, making it easier to reel them in. If you find a new fishing rod for sale from a peddler, it’s a good idea to buy it, particularly if you enjoy fishing. Also, a better rod will significantly improve your chances of winning fishing contests.
