Fishing is a newly added system in Genshin Impact Version 2.1. There are various kinds of fish that you can catch all over Teyvat. Some fish are required materials for crafting weapons like "The Catch". Below is a guide on how to activate the Fishing System in Genshin Impact and how to use different types of bait for each kind of fish. This guide will also talk about the fishing spots in each region and how to unlock other fishing rods.

How to unlock the Fishing System

The Fishing System is not automatically unlocked. Before you can unlock the Fishing system, you have to be at least AR 28. You also need to finish the Serenitea Pot quest and unlock the housing system first. Once you are done with both these requirements, you must talk to Katheryne in Mondstadt and she will give you a quest called "Exploding Population".
