How to Fish in Enshrouded Wake of the Water

Fishing in Enshrouded can be done in any body of water thanks to the Wake of the Water update. If you want the best outcomes, look for bodies of water that have a lot of Fish. You can easily spot them by looking for multiple ripples and circular waves. These types of bodies of water are rare, but if you find one, take advantage of it. Here’s how to fish in Enshrouded.

  1. First, equip your fishing rod.
  2. Then equip the fishing bait.
  3. Once you’re ready, left-click while holding your fishing rod to cast it. A power bar will appear that shows how far you’ve thrown it.
  4. Wait for the Fish to bite your hook, and when it does, left-click to reel in the Fish.
  5. Once you’ve caught the Fish, an animation will appear showing you the type of Fish you’ve caught.
  6. You can press E to pick up the Fish, or right-click to drop it.

🎣Note: Only take the Fish you want and let go of the ones you don’t want.
