📋 About This Mod

Adds a new spell to the game, Bound Fishing Pole, allowing the player to conjure a basic fishing pole whenever they want.

I was not a fan of carrying around a fishing pole at all times, so you can now simply conjure a basic fishing pole if you get the urge to fish.  This is just the basic fishing rods, and does not provide any additional benefits or bonuses.  It does not have any glow either, and I've added a few screenshots to show that.

As opposed to messing with leveled lists by adding them to vendors or messing with other mods, I've just added 3 spell tomes to the game.  They are set to player owned, so you can just walk into any of the 3 Inn's I've placed them at and grab the spell tome without any worries.

Winterhold, Candlehearth Hall, under the counter, on the right-hand side top shelf.

Riverwood, Sleeping Giant Inn, under the counter, on the right-hand side top shelf.

Markarth, Silver-Blood Inn, under the counter, on the right-hand side top shelf.

You can also enter the console, type           help "Bound Fishing Pole"             and get the spell id, and then do a         player.addspell (whatever that ID# is)

This is my first mod, and I anticipate no real issues unless you have mods that have changed the interiors of all three inn's.

If you want to update, change, use this mod elsewhere, feel free to do so.  I made it for my own personal use, and just threw it up here in case others wanted something similar.  Feel free to make any changes or anything you want!  Enjoy!

REQUIREMENTS - it does require the latest version of Skyrim SE 1. 6. 353 and the Creation Club Fishing content.

v1. 0 - initial release - current release

v1. 1 - in progress...   Right now summoning the fishing pole summons an actual fishing pole, not a bound weapon, so when you sheath it, it just goes into your inventory.  You can quickly end up with a stack of fishing poles, which is not ideal.  I'm currently tracking down a way to fix this so that when sheathed it just goes away, like other bound weapons.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • No more lugging a fishing pole around—just conjure one when you need it.
  • Spell tomes are easy to grab from three inns, no vendor or leveled list hassle.
  • Community-tested with 521 endorsements and 8,522 downloads.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires the latest Skyrim SE update and Creation Club Fishing, so it won't work on older versions or without that DLC.
  • Inn interior mods may conflict with the tome placements, as the author notes.
  • The conjured pole isn't a bound weapon—sheathing it drops it into your inventory, which can clutter your bags over time.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who enjoy fishing but hate carrying the pole around. If you have the Creation Club Fishing content and want a simple convenience spell, this is for you. Skip if you're on an older game version or don't have the Fishing DLC.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use the console command 'help Bound Fishing Pole' to get the spell ID if you can't find the tomes.
  • If you have mods that overhaul inn interiors, check the specified shelf locations first—they might be moved.
  • Since the pole goes into your inventory when sheathed, sell or drop extras to avoid clutter.
