Similar to most survival games, Hytale excels in delivering all crucial experiences. However, one of the features that is a bit different than other survival RPGs is Fishing.

How to Catch Fish in Hytale

There are a couple of methods to catch fish in Hytale. The initial method requires you to use a weapon on fish. One strike at a fish in the water will kill the fish and get you Raw Fish. It is not a whole fish, but you do get the basic ingredient that you are trying to get. The second method, which seems to be more of a fishing mechanic, is to use the Fishing Traps. However, the Fishing Trap is not available until you upgrade the Workbench to Tier 2.
