Fishing in Longvinter is one of the best ways to make money, keep yourself fed, and—let’s be honest—pass the time when everything else is looted. If you’re new to the game, here’s everything you need to know about fishing.
Step 1: Get a Fishing Rod
You can’t fish with your bare hands, so head to a vending machine and buy a fishing rod.
It costs 60-70 MK, which is cheap considering how much money fishing can make you.
If you’re broke, loot and sell random junk to afford one.
Step 2: Find a Fishing Spot
Fishing isn’t possible anywhere—you need to look for circles of fish in the water.
These spots are usually near lakes, rivers, or the ocean.
Best Starting Spot:
The lake north of Sgt. Lake’s Outpost is a great place to fish for Whitefish, which sell for 100-150 MK each.
A backpack full of Whitefish should be enough to buy a tent and start your base.
Step 3: Start Fishing
Equip your fishing rod from your inventory (Press Tab and click on it).
Click on a fishing spot to cast your line.
Wait for a fish to bite (this is the part where patience is tested).
Once you see a prompt, spam the “E” key to reel it in.
Profit.
Step 4: Sell or Cook Your Catch
Selling Fish: Take your fish to a vendor and cash out. Some vendors pay more than others.
Cooking Fish: If you’re low on energy, cooking your fish is a great way to stay alive.
Best Place to Sell Fish:
Mrs. Snow’s shop pays well for fish.
You can also check fishing-specific vendors for better rates.
