To fish in Palia, find a deep water spot. While bubbly spots yield star-quality fish, any deep water will do. Then, grab your rod and cast your line by holding down the left mouse button. Watch for the circle indicating your bobber’s landing spot.

Pro Trick: Wait for the bobber to bob and sploosh three times, signaling a fish biting. Click at the right moment to hook it. Remember, mistimed clicks won’t cost you bait.

Hold left click to reel and manage the bar below; don’t let it deplete. Keep the bobber within the brackets to prevent escapes.
