Fishing (Task)


 * This article is about the customary order given to dwarfs. For the quest appearing in the Diary, see: Tasks: Fishing.
 * For the tier four technology, see: Fishing.

Fishing is a common dwarfs activity through which they can get fish to cook, eat and quench their hunger.

Requirements
 Fishing Rod: Dwarfs can only fish if they have at least one fishing rod in the stockpile. In Tech Tree mode, the Fishing tech must be reached, so the fishing rod becomes available. In Sandbox mode must find the recipe or to know it by heart.

The more rods exist in the stockpile, the more dwarfs can go fishing at the same time. If no fishing rod has been crafted or bought, clicking on water will read: "No fishing rods in the stockpile".

 Fish: And there must be an accessible pond with one or more fishes inside it.

Steps
When there is at least one fishing rod, an option "Fishing" appears when clicking on water block of any pond containing fish(es).

Selecting this option, a random dwarf - usually the nearest one or a dwarf with the fishing skill - will move to the pond to accomplish the task. Despite the in-game description of the fishing rod, this dwarf does not need to go to the stockpile to take a fishing rod.

End
The task is accomplished when the dwarf can't carry any more fish or if all fishes in the selected pond have been catched.

Once caught, fish will reappear after a while. The pond will be available for fishing when it becomes repopulated with fish.

Trivia
Fishing is one of the activities that dwarfs happily talk about when they are idle.
