How Do You Cast a Fishing Pole in Skyrim?

Fishing is an incredibly rewarding and immersive activity in Skyrim, and it can be a great way to relax and enjoy the scenery of the game. If you are new to fishing in Skyrim, then you may be wondering how to cast a fishing pole. Fortunately, it is quite easy to do and requires only a few steps.

The first step is to equip your fishing pole. This can be done by opening your inventory screen and selecting the appropriate item.

Once the pole is equipped, you will need to find a body of water that contains fish. These areas tend to be marked with icons on your map, but they can also be easily found in most rivers and streams around Skyrim.

Once you have located a body of water that contains fish, you will need to equip your bait. Bait can be purchased from many merchants throughout Skyrim or crafted using materials found in the world. Once you have equipped the bait, press and hold the attack button until you hear a clicking noise indicating that your line has been cast into the water.

After your line has been successfully cast into the water, all that remains is for you to wait for a bite. If there are any fish in the area, they will eventually take the bait and your line will become taut. At this point, press and hold the attack button again until you hear a loud thud indicating that you have successfully caught a fish.

Conclusion:

Casting a fishing pole in Skyrim is relatively easy once you know what steps to take. All it requires is equipping your pole, finding an appropriate area with fish, equipping your bait, pressing and holding the attack button until your line has been cast into the water, and then waiting for a bite. Once there is a tug on your line indicating that you have caught something, simply press and hold the attack button again until you hear a loud thud indicating success.
