In Palia, you can get the fishing rod, aka Makeshift Rod, from Einar’s mail after you have crafted yourself a Tent and a Storage Box. 

The Fishing Rod is the first tool you get, along with a bow and arrows, when you get introduced to the Mail system in Palia. So, open the Mailbox in your housing plot and check Einar’s mail to obtain the Makeshift Rod.

To catch fish in Palia, follow the below steps:

  • Hold the LMB to set the distance of your cast. When the circle reaches the target spot, release the LMB. 
  • When you see a large splash, set the hook by pressing and holding the LMB. 
  • Move your mouse left and right to aim the reticle at the fish. 
    • Note: When the fish is outside the line, the reticle will turn red and may damage your line. 
    • Tips: Do not retract the reticle while the fish is jumping or outside the circular area
  • When the fish is at the center of the reticle, start reeling by holding the LMB. 

That is how you catch a fish in Palia. While at it, ensure to reel only when the fish is at the center of the reticle. If not, align the reticle and then only proceed to reel.
