Presentation of the guide

Hi there !

In view of the release of Call of the Wild: The Angler™ , I decided to create a small guide in order to summarize the various crucial information on the fishing.

Of course, this guide contains the information to improve and advance your gaming experience.

This guide is community, which means that through the comment function, you can add information in order to update the guide and help the community.

Thank you for taking the time to review this guide, and thank you in advance to those who will contribute.

@Hawgleg
You can find the Tutorials on map "Golden Ridge Reserve". In the main base Diamond Peak is a Mission board. Activate the mission on the right and middle boards.

@NoiD
For the new lures... you get the XP on this when you win the fight with the fish. If the fish will not bite try a smaller hook size.

[DanBoone78]

This is an old post from Sep.2022 without the new species.
If you want some daily update then check the Discord channel of this game.

[NoiD™]
