Fishing Recipes covers the small jobs that keep a fisher supplied. It includes making and fixing rods, making and taking apart nets, preparing chum and harvesting roe from fish.
The recipes support the Fishing skill. A homemade rod lets a survivor fish with parts from around the house. Fish Roe from a catch can go to the kitchen. Fishing sits beside Trapping and Farming as a steady food route, and the roe ties it to Cooking.
Skills
Every recipe here is open at skill level 0. Anything known can be made at once.
Fishing level matters through learning. Fix Fishing Rod and Make Fishing Rod unlock on their own at Fishing 4. Make Chum Base unlocks at Fishing 5. Make Fishing Net unlocks at Fishing 6, and Dismantle Fishing Net at Fishing 7. Make Fishing Rod also unlocks at Carving 4.

The Fishing Guide occupation starts with all of them known. The Angler and Former Scout traits know the rod and chum recipes. The Bushcrafter trait knows Make Fishing Rod.
Magazines cover the rest. Angler USA - June 1993 teaches Make Fishing Rod, Fix Fishing Rod and Make Chum Base. Angler USA - May 1993 teaches Make Fishing Net and Dismantle Fishing Net.
These magazines, books, traits and occupations teach recipes from this category that have to be learned.

Materials
Fishing line is the main input for rods. A hook comes next, and a Paperclip, Nails, Fishing Hook, Forged Fishing Hook or Bone Fishing Hook all work. A Wooden Rod forms the rod itself.
Nets take Twine and Wire. A broken net can be taken apart for its Wire.
Chum comes from a Sack of Sand. Roe comes from a Fish Roe Sac, with a bowl and a little water.
A sharp knife or meat cleaver is used to make the rod, and it comes back. The bowl for roe also comes back.
The materials these recipes use up most often.

Stations
Every recipe here is made in hand, straight from the inventory. A fisher can work right at the water's edge.
Recipes
Make Fishing Rod is the first one to get. It turns a Wooden Rod, line and a hook into a Makeshift Fishing Rod. Fix Fishing Rod puts new line and a hook on a Fishing Rod without Line.
Make Fishing Net is the mid-game choice, made from Twine and Wire. Dismantle Fishing Net recovers Wire from a Fishing Net (Broken).
Make Chum Base prepares Chum. Harvest Roe turns a Fish Roe Sac into Fish Roe, which can also be preserved in jars through Cooking.
Every recipe in the Fishing menu is listed with what it makes, what it uses up, the tools it hands back, the skill it asks for and where it is made. A "Yes" under Learned means the recipe has to be learned first. Each tab holds one kind of thing made.
