How to Catch Fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons?
To catch fish in Animal Crossing New Horizons, you need to follow these steps:

You can also receive a fishing rod as a gift from villagers or visitors, such as Tom Nook or Wilbur.
- Next, you need to find a fishing spot, which is a place where you can fish. You can fish in various bodies of water, such as rivers, ponds, lakes, or oceans, which are located on your island or on other islands that you can visit. You can also fish in special locations, such as the pier, the mouth of the river, or the clifftop, which has different types of fish.

You can cast your fishing rod by pressing the A button on your controller while facing the water. You need to aim your fishing rod at the fish shadow and make sure that your fishing line lands in front of the fish shadow. If your fishing line lands too far or too close to the fish’s shadow, the fish will not notice it, and you will have to cast your fishing rod again.

You need to be quick and attentive and press the A button as soon as the fish bites your fishing line. If you press the A button too early or too late, the fish will escape, and you will have to cast your fishing rod again.
