How Do You Use a Fishing Pole in Ark?

Fishing in ARK is a great way to enjoy the game and find some useful items. Fishing poles are the primary tool you will use to catch fish in ARK, and it’s important to know how to use them correctly. Here’s a quick guide on how to use a fishing pole in ARK.

The first step is to equip your fishing pole. You can do this by opening up your inventory and clicking on the item you want to equip. Once you have selected the fishing pole, it will appear in your hotbar so you can easily access it while playing.

Next, you will need to find a body of water where you can fish. There are several types of bodies of water around the map, including rivers, lakes, and oceans. You can also fish from nearly any body of water that has fish swimming around in it.

Once you are near a body of water, make sure that your character is facing towards the water before casting out your line. You can cast out by pressing and holding down the left trigger button on your controller or left mouse button if playing on PC. Then drag back the cursor or analog stick until your line is fully extended out into the water.

Once your line is cast out into the water, wait for a bite! You may need to wait for several minutes before getting a bite, so be patient! If you get a bite, quickly pull back on the right trigger or right mouse button to reel in the catch.

Be sure not to reel too quickly or too slowly as this could break your line or scare away potential catches.

Finally, once you have reeled in your catch successfully, open up your inventory and click on it with either A (Xbox) or E (PC) and then click “equip” at the bottom of the menu. This will add it to either your hotbar or quick item slots so that you can easily access it while playing.

Fishing in ARK is an enjoyable way of finding valuable items while exploring its vast world! With these tips in mind, now nothing should stop you from enjoying all that ARK has to offer!

Conclusion:


To use a fishing pole in ARK effectively, equip it from your inventory first. Then find a body of water with fish swimming around before casting out by pressing and holding down either left trigger button (controller) or left mouse button (PC).
