Fishing can be really difficult to figure out, and if you do it incorrectly, you will waste quite a bit of your time. So before you jump to conclusions on how to fish well, take a step back and work out how to do it, without wasting your time. 

Step 1

Find a sandy shoreline to fish from, there are currently 5 shorelines across the map. Walk to the middle of the river.

Step 2

Currently, there is no fishing rod in the game, it is likely that this tool will be added to the game sometime during beta. Therefore to fish, you will need to use the Multi-tool that you received at the beginning of the game.  

Step 3

Press your usage button, and move your screen pointer around as fast as possible, this will cause ripples in the water, and the ripples will attract different fish. 

Step 4 

Hover over the fish curious fish for a few moments, keeping your pointer over the fish. If you hover over it for some time, the circle around the fish will begin to close around the fish. Once the circle is small tap on a fish, though do not do it more than once. When you tap on a fish 3 times, the fish will become alarmed leave the fishing circle. 

Step 5   

If you tapped on the fish at the right time, your character will grab the fish, a slight animation will play, and the fish is added to your inventory. 

You may notice some fish will randomly have an exclamation mark near them. The exclamation mark indicates that the fish is aware something "fishy" is going on ;). This fish will leave the circle soon, and so you should catch it quickly. 

Rare fish will become aware of you and leave the circle much quicker than common fish.
