How to Craft a Fishing Rod
Every angler's journey begins with crafting a Fishing Rod at the Supplies Workbench. Here are the required materials:
- 20 Logs: Harvested by cutting down trees
- 10 Copper Ingots: Produced by smelting Copper Ore and Charcoal in a furnace
Before crafting, ensure you've unlocked the Essential Tools in your Memetics menu under the Crafting section. Press 'F' to queue the fishing rod for production – the crafting duration appears in the bottom-left menu. Don't forget to retrieve your finished rod from the workstation.

Best Fishing Spots in Once Human
The game world features several prime fishing locations with distinct advantages:
- Wild Dog Isle: Diverse fish population
- Brookham Dock: Reliably productive spot
- Harborside Bridge: Access to both fresh and saltwater species
- Greywater Camp: Hidden location with varied catches
- Holt Town Decking: Exceptional for rare finds

Proper Fish Storage Methods
Like all perishables in Once Human, caught fish will spoil. These preservation methods extend their shelf life:
- Refrigeration: Adds several days of freshness
- Meat Drier: Creates permanently preserved fish
- Specimen Rack: Displays and maintains one fish indefinitely (Note: Single-fish capacity)
- Fish Tank: Holds up to four fish based on size constraints
