Fishing is a chill side activity in Where Winds Meet once you know how to actually equip the rod and get started. Here’s exactly how to do it without wasting time digging through menus.
How to Equip the Fishing Rod
You’ll first need to get the fishing rod itself, usually called the Kid’s Fishing Rod. After you’ve got it, open your inventory and look under Quick Use items. Highlight the fishing rod and assign it to an open slot. Then, open your quick-use wheel during gameplay and select the rod to equip it. Once it’s equipped, you’ll see your character ready it automatically near any fishing spot.
How to Use It After Equipping
With the rod out, walk up to a body of water that lets you fish. You’ll see an on-screen prompt appear. Press the interaction key to cast your line. Wait for the bite icon to appear, then press the indicated button to start the fishing minigame. Timing your inputs here is key to reeling in the fish successfully.
If the game allows bait selection, open the same quick-use wheel to swap bait types before casting. Using better bait can help you catch rarer fish or reduce waiting time between bites.
Tips for Faster Fishing
Always equip the rod before you reach the water to avoid re-opening menus.
Keep some bait stocked, as some fish won’t bite otherwise.
Try fishing during different in-game times to see what species appear but avoid gb-proxy.
If you fail the quick-time event, your line breaks and you’ll need to re-equip before trying again.
Final Blurb
Equipping your fishing rod in Where Winds Meet is quick once you know where it’s stored. Just assign it to a quick-use slot, pick your favorite pond, and start reeling in those catches like a pro.
