Fishing In Skyrim

Adds working fishing poles, nets, dwarven boomfishing, working fishing gear, and many other fishing-themed goodies to Skyrim. Stop trying to grab fish with your bare hands! Look for a free pole and net in a rowboat on the Riften canal, or talk to local general-goods vendors and apothecaries in Riverwood, Whiterun, Riften and Windhelm. UPDATE 0. 92: Skyrim 1. 7 Compatibility fix UPDATE 0. 91: Many new features, bug fixes, new items, and balances have been added: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKING POLES and BAIT: There are currently 3 qualities of poles - all of which can be crafted at any smithy or are sometimes sold at several vendors across Skyrim. Quality affects the distance you can cast, and the time you must wait to get a nibble. Use the \"Fishing: Use Pole\" Lesser Power to plant your pole along a shoreline near some fish. You must then add bait to it by clicking on it and placing something on the \"hook\". The hook will accept most types of meat, bugs, and other fish, making this a great way to get rid of an undesired food item or ingredient for a chance at getting a better one. Different fish prefer different kinds of bait, so again, you\'ll have to experiment to see what works. (If you have the right bait, and the right region, you have at least a 60% chance to catch the fish you are looking for). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REGIONAL FISHING: Certain fish prefer certain regions. River Betties, for instance, thrive around the Riften and Dawnstar docks, and Longfin have been spotted along their migratory route near Solitude. You\'ll learn in time which fish prefer which regions, making sportsfishing or hunting for ingredients much less random than before. Sightings of the elusive Blackreach Albino Catfish are on the rise, which should be of particular interest to Alchemists. Likewise, the very rare fungal jellyfish has been spotted along the northern coasts, despite the frigid waters, often getting entangled in nets. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FISHING NETS: These can be purchased from certain vendors, or crafted at a Tanning Rack. You can carry and deploy several nets at once, stripping a lake or stream of all fish in a frightfully rapid manner. ... Overfished areas typically need 24-36 game-hours to recover. Toss your nets using \"Fishing: Throw Net\" Lesser Power, aiming up or down to adjust distance. Your net will fly out a short distance, and if it splashes in deep enough water, will snatch up all the nearby critterfish, plus any others lurking in the depths that you might not see. Try to get the net in the middle of a large group of fish for the best experience, or take your chances dredging the polluted, fishless regions of the world, looking for lost treasures
