In every new season and chapter, Fortnite introduces new mechanics while also removing or reworking old ones. Fishing is one unique aspect that has been in the game for five years but often goes unnoticed because it requires you to remain stationary, potentially making you an easy target. However, there are very valuable fish that provide instant healing and shield boosts, which can be crucial in tough situations. Moreover, in the recent Light Chakra quests, there is a specific task requiring you to 'Collect 4 Fish' to unlock the Appa Glider. In this guide, we'll teach you how to collect fish and where you can find the best fishing spots in Fortnite Chapter 5, Season 2, turning you into a skilled angler.

How To Collect Fish in Fortnite
Whether you are fishing for fun or for completing the 'Collect 4 Fish' quest, fishing is easy and fun. The first thing you need to do is grab a Fishin Rod. We will cover where you can find them in the next section of this article.
After you have your Fishing Rod to start fishing, locate a fishing hole, which appears as a white circle in the water. These fishing holes are plentiful in any lake or river, making them easy to find. Although fishing in these spots offers better rewards, casting your line into any section of water might still yield smaller catches like a common or uncommon weapon and ammo.

To fish, simply hold down the shoot button or trigger to aim and cast your line at your chosen spot. Watch for a bite, signaled by a vibration of the bobber, and then quickly press the
shoot button or trigger again to reel in your catch. If you're too slow, the fish will escape, and you'll need to cast your line again. This straightforward method allows players to engage in fishing without the complexity often associated with the real-life version.
