How to fish?

It looks like a major problem for some people to realize how the fishing mechanic at Graveyard Keeper works. So I am going to explain it.

If you are at an fishing spot and an rod is equipped , you can press E.
Now you can choose your bait at the bottom of the screen.
You can press and hold E again and choose one of three throwing sections (short, medium, long). If one section shows only 0% and you try to fish there, you`ll lose energy for nothing.
Now you have to wait until the float pops up and press E. There is also be a sound played. But you must have a good reaction!
A minigame starts and you have to keep the yellow bar at the height of the fish by pressing E.

If you have trouble with the fourth point, you can eat Fish Nuggets (can be bought from Horadric in the Dead Horse) before you try, because it buffs you and gives you some extra reaction time.

Pond/Village

There is a pond in the north of the village and normaly it`s the first fishing spot you find. I`ll list now, how the chance are at day/night, with one of the three fishing rods and what kind of bait work.
