That might be true – however, with release Skyrim: Anniversary Edition, Bethesda has packed in tons of new content, quests, and mechanics to bring you back to your winter wonderland for a few more hours.

Fortunately, those days are over and now you can catch fish like a sophisticated Dragon born by casting a line and reeling in a new fish. If you’re ready to take on a lower-stakes activity Skyrim: Anniversary Editionhere is everything you need to know about fishing.

Before you start fishing Skyrim: Anniversary Edition, you need the right equipment. Fortunately, bars are abundant in certain areas. The first place you’ll come across is Reverwood, after the game’s opening sequence. Here you can find a free-to-take rod near a new point called Fishing Supplies that looks like a fishing rod on a fish basket. These are the places where fishing is allowed. Yes, unfortunately you can’t hunt wherever you want, only in certain places.
Alternatively, you can go to the Fishing location west of Riften and meet an NPC named Viriya and Swims-In-Deep-Water. Both have fishing related quests that you should grab before you get too invested in fishing. Swims-In-Deep-Water will also explain fishing spots. Equip your rod as a weapon and interact with any fishing tackle point to start fishing.
After casting the line, watch the bait. Small specks of fish will start popping up, but wait for it to start reeling in on cue from the rumble of your controller. There’s no need to mash or play an extensive minigame here, making it a pretty easy experience. Check yours The quest to see what is required of you with the capture of Viriya.

Fishing tips

Finally, here are some basic tips to keep in mind when going on your first fishing trip. Nothing about it also complicated, but worth keeping in mind.
First, know that some fish will only spawn near certain fishing spots, so you’ll need to learn what kind of fish live where if you’re looking for a specific one. Also, some fish are quite temperamental and only appear in places when it rains.
If you are going to spend a lot of time fishing, equip yourself with some things that will help you. The Ring of Kynareth will turn weather into rain on the spot, as can a Stormcall dragon, and there are better fishing rods to acquire.
While you’re waiting for the telltale sound of a fish biting your line, don’t jump. There are always a few light, fake vibrations before the real bite happens. Don’t react too quickly and reel in before the fish actually bites.
Finally, go explore the world again. New fishing spots will be all over the country, so there’s no better excuse to take the long route from place to place than discovering all the new places to fish along the way.
