How to Fish & Get a Fishing Rod in 99 Nights in the Forest (Roblox)

Fishing is one of the newest activities added in 99 Nights in the Forest, giving players a new way to gather resources, earn XP, and enjoy a calmer side of the game. If you’re wondering how to start fishing or where to get your first fishing rod, this guide will walk you through the entire process step-by-step.

Step 1 – Getting a Fishing Rod

There are two main ways to get a fishing rod in the game:

1. Unlock the Fisherman Class – Available in the Daily Shop for 50 Gems. This class starts with a fishing rod and offers fishing-related perks like faster rod leveling and quicker catches.
2. Find the Fishing Shack – This building can be found randomly on the map. Inside, you’ll see fishing rods you can pick up for free. This method works even if you don’t have the Fisherman class.

Step 2 – Upgrading Your Fishing Rod

Once you have a fishing rod, you can improve it at the Fishing Shack. Simply place your rod at the upgrade spot and spend XP to level it up.

• How to earn XP: Catch fish and other items while fishing. The XP bar at the bottom of your screen will fill as you fish.
• Higher-level rods give faster casts, better range, and a higher chance of catching rare fish.

Step 3 – How to Fish

1. Equip your fishing rod and click to cast your line into a pond or lake.
2. Wait for the bobber to react — this means a fish has taken the bait.
3. When the mini-game starts, keep clicking while the marker stays inside the green zone.
4. Successfully reeling in will reward you with items such as Mackerel, Salmon, or even random junk loot.

Extra Tips

• Cooked fish can restore a good amount of food, especially useful during survival phases.
• Upgrading your rod early makes fishing faster and more rewarding.
• You can fish at night, but visibility might be lower, so watch your surroundings.

Fishing in 99 Nights in the Forest is simple to learn but rewarding to master. Whether you choose the Fisherman class for a head start or hunt down the Fishing Shack to grab a rod, upgrading your gear and practicing the mini-game will help you reel in better catches. With patience and a few upgrades, you’ll be pulling in rare fish and valuable loot in no time.
