Crafting a Fishing Rod

To start fishing, craft a Fishing Rod at the Supplies Workbench. You'll need these materials:

• 20 Logs: Collected by cutting down trees.
• 10 Copper Ingots: Crafted by smelting Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace.

Unlock the Essential Tools in the Crafting section of your Memetics menu to access the Supplies Workbench. Press ‘F’ to queue the fishing rod for crafting. The completion time will appear in the lower left corner of your menu. Once finished, retrieve the rod from the workbench.

Top Fishing Spots in Once Human

Certain areas in Once Human yield better fishing results:

• Wild Dog Isle: Home to a wide range of fish species.
• Brookham Dock: A favorite for reliable catches.
• Harborside Bridge: Access to both freshwater and saltwater fish.
• Greywater Camp: A quiet spot with diverse fish varieties.
• Holt Town Decking: Perfect for rare fish catches.
• Chalk Peak: High-altitude waters with unique species.

Storing Your Fish

Fish, like other perishables in Once Human, have a limited shelf life. Extend their freshness by storing them in a refrigerator or using a Meat Drier to preserve them indefinitely. Another option is to display fish on a Specimen Rack, keeping them fresh and edible while mounted, though only one fish can be displayed at a time. Alternatively, use a Fish Tank, which holds up to four fish depending on their size.
