How to Fish in Fallout 76 New Update

A New location in the Mire, with a bunch of new characters and quests. Find Captain Raymond Clark and start the new Casting Off Questline.

After acquiring the fishing rod, players can walk up to any water body, and a ‘Fish ’ prompt will appear on screen. Players need to note that the new fishing equipment will not show up in their Pip-Boy menu. The fishing rod isn’t a equippable item (So no beating ghouls with a damn fish stick, sorry fans).
