Honestly, that was a really well made video. Simple, informative and straight to the point. Until now I hadn't bothered to figure out Fishing so thankyou for making this. Subscribed!
This is perfect. I have been playing a while and never really got the hang of fishing. I certainly like fish wraps though! The text and graphics added make sense and are a welcome addition. There are lots of tutorials on all sorts of things and this is the best fishing one I have seen. I learned quite a bit and you did not waste time with nonsense. Thank you !!!
Well you've earned yourself a subscriber. I'd rather watch these kinds of informatie video's than screaling RUclipsrs fluffing their video's full of nothing
What a great video. Just want to add, you can actually catch fish in water where you can't see any, but it is slow going. Fish will travel a fair distance to grab a bait. Also, if you think you will run dry on stamina while reeling a fish in, you can walk backwards (if possible) and the fish will be grounded where you can then pick it up.
I've found that not waiting for the fish to strike (i.e. for the float to send out ripples) is the best. Instead, I strike when the fish runs for the bait but is still about a yard short of it. It means fishing in a spot and adjusting the viewing angle such that I can see down into the water. Fish will often circle the bait or swim past it to one side. Striking is a waste of time in such cases. Instead, wait for the fish to head straight for the bait and when it's about a yard away, tap the RMB to strike. It'll hook the fish every time. If I wait for it to reach the float and cause a ripple, I'm often too late on the strike. If you're reeling in and can see that you're going to run out of stamina, stop reeling and press S to walk backwards up the bank/shore. That doesn't use any stamina and you'll drag the fish out of the water. You'll 'lose the catch' but you can run forward, put the cursor over the beached fish and press E to scoop it up. Another tip is to not cast out too far. About 8-10 yards is good as you can see into the water more clearly and it takes less stamina to reel in the fish. It's tricky to judge but if I hold the LMB too long and cast out too far, I immediately reel in till the bait is 8-10 yards away. If fishing close to my base, I try to clear out any schools of fish entirely. I don't have hard testing data on this but my sense is that if I leave one or two stragglers, they'll still be there when I return. If I clear out all fish, new schools will have spawned when I return a few days later. So I always scan the waters thoroughly and even if there is just one Perch left cruising the shore, I'll fish until I've got it. That clears the spawn area for new schools.
To add onto the "fish cave" theory, there is a small chance to generate a dead body with a runestone near underground lakes. Next to them will be a fishing rod and some bait. The runestone talks about the man's last day before he died, trying to stay alive by "what the lake provides", which would indeed be fish.
Aaaaaaand subscribed - I neglected fishing in favor of building but I’m starting to see now that I’ve been missing something in my play - thanks for the info
Nice tip that would consistently get me over 3 times as much fish as my buddy I was fishing with is cast basically right on top of or just past the shelf where the depth drops off. You'll get a lot of tuna that like to hug that area and zoom past but the pike still frequently get out there as to the perch as the tuna can be a little stingy sometimes. Also having played since launch the food update really has me looking at fish wraps saying "look at how they massacred my boy".
That bit of the video of catching the tuna in the ship by having the fishing pole out while at the tiller? Brilliant. I had no idea that could be done (I know about sitting with your bow out in case of Serpents, but never once considered my fishing rod) and that is going to change how I fish on long trips. Also enjoyed how succinct and to the point this video was. I look forward to your next video!
I think it'd be cool if you could use a spear to fish just to have an option for fishing early on. The spear in game is certainly long enough to do the trick in shallow water.
Great video! I already knew most of it, but I love how you present the information. It's very clear and to the point, any guide maker should take notes!
👏🏻👏🏻 great video, I am looking forward to seeing more. Subbed. One small additional factoid, you can actually find a fishing rod and bait in the frozen lake super rare Ice Caves. It's 2nd hand but the previous owner no longer requires it.
How many played Valheim hours do You have? I am a sucker for building cities and villages and castles and stuff. Plus... some days all I do in Valheim is gather materials to cook stuff. They should include an chefs apron or smt ingame. I'd be delighted. 😍 About played hour in total...I... 406h... 😅
YOOO 10/10 video I was trying to catch up again on Valheim since I stopped playing for a bit and this is the best video I’ve seen to break down fishing. Thank you so much you go a sub from me 🤙🏼
Do you have a strategy for maximizing tuna fishing? I tend to focus on pike found in rivers because it's easy to tell where to throw your line in, and they're reasonably productive.
definitely agree with your tactics! Much more efficient to fish the easier to find pike and perch, rather than spending lots of time trying to find tuna
Luckily my Haldor was right next to The Elder. So i created a little tree house base right next to him which actually help with defeating the elder quit alot considering i died several times try!
It is possible to catch more than 1 fish per bait as long as you don't completely reel in you line or put away your pole. As bait is only used when you initially cast out your line all you need to do is reel in enough (about 3 meters remaining) and drag the fish onto the land to grab. Then while the line is till hanging out maneuver yourself so the line dips back into the water (having a pier works really well for this). The best results I've had was fishing in a boat with 1 meter of line hanging out and slowly sailing back and forth along the shallow water near the shore. Sitting in the drivers seat dips the line into the water and standing up pulls it out. Fish are automatically hooked if the boat is moving when they bite so you don't ever have to tap the reel button.
I think there should be the occasional giant fish you can catch that is difficult to reel in but gives you something like 10 fish or something like that.
I love how articulate and detailed your videos are. Thank you for this, Embr! Will you be updating this video to include the new fish and bait types introduced recently?
You forgot to add, that there's a small chance for a fishing rod to spawn in the new mountain caves. It needs the frozen lake room and you can find it there.
I tried about two dozen frost caves looking for the fishing rod, but unfortunately found only 2 lakes and no fishing rod! Would be cool to see for myself!
My question is what's the respawn rate of the fish after you deplete the spawn spot? It appears there's none the next day if you go to the same spot, so I assume it's app 2 days..
My understanding is that fish have a chance of spawning every 120 seconds if a valid environment is within 40-80 metres of the player. But I will look to make a video all about spawning rates soon!
Haha, no lie I made a flint spear when I had just started to play and tried using that to fish. Would have been a cool secondary method. Also, everybody doesn't drop a portal just outside Haldor's bubble once they find him? I must be lazy... 😆
Thank you for the guide video, I really hope you make an updated one for Mistlands. In the meantime, please accept this bit of kudos and comment to feed the algorithm.
“If you’re close to him, you’ll see a bag” I must not have looked carefully at that shape of that thing because this whole time I thought it was a clam shell. I never even bothered to ask why it’s a clam. I just accepted it. Lol
In fairness lox aren't that hard to get meat out of it you tame them, breed them (with the plentiful cloudberry) and then stick them with a butchers knife.
Embr, INSTANT SUB. Your videos are soooo good, well produced, scripted, editing on point - I'm really amazed. Please don't stop creating new content. Not matter how often and no matter which game.
You are a real Gem with these guides. Though I’ve played the game since week 1 early release, I still continue to learn a few things in these awesomely brilliant detailed pack guides. The level of details and production value are really high in these content guides. Keep it up and you’ll keep growing. Quality content can’t stay hidden as people find them. Mistlands will soon be out and another new set of content to shine with. /subscribed.

the walking backwards is the protip right there! :D
what a lovely video very useful. Im waiting for more walheim videos from you :D Subscribed!
I found this video very informational and very easy to follow. Well done. Subscribed.

Honestly the video suprized me.

Unfortunately this needs a major update after Mistlands. Really didn't expect them to completely overhaul fishing like they did with Mistlands!
Great vid! Relaxing to watch but also informative and not rambling. A well earned sub from me!
good job on the video thank you!

fishing and baking is what made me so addicted to runescape, and mildly addicted to black desert. I am the party/guild's cook lol.
That pike looks like a trout 🤣 but nice vid and information!
I spent so long trying to slap a fish with my sword 😂
Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Its nice seing people still making videos about valheim.
Do you think valheim will ever get finish?
Thanks! I myself am optimistic that it will be finished, but I think we’re several years out at this point
Easily understandable and a very helpful guide. Well done!
Subbed
Thank you for really easy to follow and useful video about fishing. I think will give it a go now in valheim haven’t tried them to fish in it yet.
Brilliant video and would love to see more of these. Thank you.for making it. 👌
Awesome vid, thanks
Great guide! I'm a Valheim veteran but still learned a few things. Quality editing 💯
I think it'd be cool if you could use a spear to fish just to have an option for fishing early on. The spear in game is certainly long enough to do the trick in shallow water.
Nice guide, well done!
I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers, this video was very well made, keep it up!
The production quality on these videos are just out of this world. The editing, the voice over, the narrative structure... on point!
Great video! I already knew most of it, but I love how you present the information. It's very clear and to the point, any guide maker should take notes!
I just found a fishing rod and bait in a chest in a frost cave
Nice!

Excellent, subsinct description. I've been wanting to look into fishing but time restrictions... looking forward to more
YOOO 10/10 video I was trying to catch up again on Valheim since I stopped playing for a bit and this is the best video I’ve seen to break down fishing. Thank you so much you go a sub from me 🤙🏼
30+ hours of scouring the world for Haldor, still no sign of him. I would absolutely love to fish with a fishing rod...
IF I COULD FIND ONE
Keep going! I’m sure he’s just around the next river bend…
This helps a ton! I would watch any future videos you made. So clear and well made!

New mistlands update introduced a brand new fishing system
Very informative! I did not know about the star rating or the recipies, so I'll definitely be giving fishing another try.
“They often appear in much larger groups than other spawns in the game”
Greylings: Am I a joke to you?
Luckily my Haldor was right next to The Elder. So i created a little tree house base right next to him which actually help with defeating the elder quit alot considering i died several times try!

Great video, straight to the point with everything, which is refreshing. Super well articulated, gg! New sub here
Good video not sure about being better then lox meat pie considering you can farm them.
I think there should be the occasional giant fish you can catch that is difficult to reel in but gives you something like 10 fish or something like that.
time for updated fish guide? :) I hope you enjoyed the new fishing, I just explored a bit of it and loving it!
I have been enjoying it! And yes.. coming soon 👀
I love this game can't wait to see the future of this game
Yea i hope so too fishing is not that good rn and i would like too do more wirh it. Also good video 🤟
Very informative and well made visually, I hope for more Valheim content :)
Have you ever thought about fish farms?
Great vid! but is your wolf called boar lol?
thanks a lot
Great video! Very infomative. Im gonna look for other your videos!
Great video! I haven't gotten a chance to fish yet but I definitely will once the opportunity comes along!
Top tier content
This is awesome! So glad you posted it in the reddit. Just like valheim, it was calming and pleasant.
I love how articulate and detailed your videos are. Thank you for this, Embr! Will you be updating this video to include the new fish and bait types introduced recently?
Ty! And Yes! Hopefully this week 🤞
More videos!!
I loved fishing in WoW and love it again in Valheim, although the ambiance in the latter makes it so much better.
You forgot to add, that there's a small chance for a fishing rod to spawn in the new mountain caves. It needs the frozen lake room and you can find it there.
I tried about two dozen frost caves looking for the fishing rod, but unfortunately found only 2 lakes and no fishing rod! Would be cool to see for myself!

You need to update this video with mistland new mechanics
coming soon… 👀
Noice.
Really nice video! Thanks!
With new MistLands update, it is now possible to find Fishing rod in frozen caves
⭐️ I absolutely hate the stamina system in this game...😅 human beings are capable of RUNNING MARATHOND this twat runs out of breath while fishing...🙄
Every time I watch one of your high production videos, I am pained out how you don't yet have 100k subscribers.
This deserves way more likes than it currently has. Well done!
Haha, no lie I made a flint spear when I had just started to play and tried using that to fish. Would have been a cool secondary method.
Also, everybody doesn't drop a portal just outside Haldor's bubble once they find him? I must be lazy... 😆
Awesome guida, awesome channel, thanks!!!
Thank you for the guide video, I really hope you make an updated one for Mistlands. In the meantime, please accept this bit of kudos and comment to feed the algorithm.
Been watching all your videos, very simple nice and explained.
Should I buy this on sale? I'm m still undecided. Can you just survival craft or does the story push you to the end?
Apparently you can find fishing poles in Ice Caves. The randomly spawn with a runestone in the lowest parts of some ice caves.
“If you’re close to him, you’ll see a bag” I must not have looked carefully at that shape of that thing because this whole time I thought it was a clam shell. I never even bothered to ask why it’s a clam. I just accepted it. Lol
That's a high quallity guide. Nice work
In fairness lox aren't that hard to get meat out of it you tame them, breed them (with the plentiful cloudberry) and then stick them with a butchers knife.
This channel is literally so damn underrated, i heccin love your informative content
Sometimes fish will jump into your boat too and you can pick them up.
Its been a while since ive really appreciated content on youtube
I would love an update to this video with the fishing changes since Mistlands.
These videos are great for learning a lot of info, planning to play with a close friend this christmas and cant wait!
i found my fishing rod in a ice cave with a frozen lake at the bottom.
muchas gracias por el video! fue la mejor guía que he encontrado
pls do a second one for the mistlands update . such a well done video as always
If and When has arrived! Time for a new video!!
Embr, INSTANT SUB. Your videos are soooo good, well produced, scripted, editing on point - I'm really amazed. Please don't stop creating new content. Not matter how often and no matter which game.
The editing is just on point! Thanks for this noble Viking Embr. Leaving a like and sub because of that.Good job!
use the updated one now
Come back luv. xo
I love your videos
new fish yaaass
fiiishiiiing! =^__^=
