Fishing was initially not a must have activity because by the time I could afford it I had better food. I did find that cooked fish made for a good intermediate food for times when I was in camp and didn't need as much HP/stam as I would when out and about. Once I got the hang of it, I had better luck than fishing in the real world. And fishing is a nice change of pace. It was good to see the addition of fish wraps. I have started on a Plains shop build and am looking forward to fishing again.
