Fishing rods are the best tools to use for active fishing, above clubs and spears.
They cannot be crafted by the player, only purchased in shops or from NPCs. They are very inexpensive, costing about 9 torches, or a single empty wooden tub, or a couple cords (this information may be outdated).
With a perfect fishing rod, a good fishing spot in deep water rapids and a good fishing skill, one can catch enough fish to dry over the winter to carry them through an entire year.
Fishing with a fishing rod is a restful activity and can be used as a somewhat more productive way of reducing fatigue than simply waiting.
Starting scenarios
If you choose the I Want to be a Fisherman starting scenario, you will receive a fishing rod and 2 fishing nets at the start of the game.
Tutorial scenarios
During the 'Fishing' part of the Living in the Wild tutorial course, the player automatically receives a fishing rod for free. He or she can keep the fishing rod after the 'Fishing' part of the course concludes.
This makes the whole game course very welcoming to new players of URW, who need a dependable enough food source at the start - fishing with a rod being one of the best regular food-gathering techniques before the player character has settled and built-up enough to have a guaranteed steady source of food from picking, agriculture, fishing and hunting.
