Using a Fishing Rod in Far Cry 5 PC

Many gamers enjoy the peaceful and immersive atmosphere of the Far Cry series, and one of the most enjoyable activities is fishing. Fishing in Far Cry 5 is an easy and fun way to earn extra cash. This guide will teach you how to use a fishing rod in Far Cry 5 on PC.

To start fishing, you’ll need to find a body of water. There are many lakes and rivers scattered across Hope County, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find one. Once you’ve found a location, equip your fishing rod from your inventory (or buy one from the store) and select it.

Then you’ll need to equip bait. Bait can be purchased at any store or found around the environment, such as in barrels or on the ground.

Once you have bait equipped, cast your line into the water with a left-click. You can move your cursor around to Target different types of fish.

Your line will start bobbing when fish are nearby and biting. To catch them, press the left mouse button again when your line is pulled down. You can also use lures for larger fish; these should be placed near where your line is bobbing for better results.

Once you’ve caught a fish, it will appear in your inventory and can be sold at any store for money. You can also cook some of the bigger catches with recipes that are unlocked as you progress through the game. Releasing caught fish back into the water earns you extra XP.

Conclusion

Fishing in Far Cry 5 is an easy way to earn extra cash while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of Hope County. All you need is a fishing rod, bait, and patience! With this guide, anyone can learn how to use a fishing rod in Far Cry 5 on PC.
