Fishing in Rust involves using a fishing rod and bait to catch fish from bodies of water. To begin, players must craft a fishing rod using 100 wood and 50 metal fragments. Once they have crafted a rod, they must equip it and interact with a body of water (such as a river or ocean) and cast the line. Players must wait for a fish to bite, and then reel it in using the left mouse button.
Fishing serves several purposes in Rust, including providing a source of food. Fish can be cooked and eaten to regain health and hunger. Additionally, fishing can provide players with resources such as fish oil, which can be used to craft various items.
