Fishing is the cornerstone of any Animal Crossing game, so of course it was going to show up in New Horizons.
Fishing is a great way to not only earn money, but feel like you're making progress towards the game by donating said fish to the museum to gaze at the wonders of the world. But how exactly do you fish in the game? Well, it's quite simple.
In order to fish, you must first obtain a fishing rod which will require you to craft one using branches and other materials scattered around your island. Once you have a fishing rod in your possession, equip it and head towards a body of water until you come across a black figure moving in the sea, river or various ponds that litter your island.
You need to aim the fishing rod so that the bobber lands in front of the silhouette's line of sight when you press the A button. Once it does, it will move towards the bobber and you'll have to wait to reel in your catch . The fish will nibble on the float for a while, but only when the float is submerged underwater if you press A to reel it in, successfully completing the action.
If you do it right, you should be in possession of a brand new creature to show off to all your animal friends!
