Where to Find a Fishing Rod

Before players go fishing at a fishing hole, they will first need to acquire a fishing rod. The fishing rods will often not be found in treasure chests; however, they can be found in barrels near many of the homes in Fortnite that happen to be near a body of water. For players that want to complete this quest quickly, there’s one location in particular where players can find a fishing rod as well as multiple fishing spots.

To the west of the Craggy Cliffs point of interest, Fortnite players will find a small island with a landmark known as the Unremarkable Shack. And outside the shack, players will find a barrel with a fishing rod inside of it.

How to Catch Fish at Fishing Holes in Fortnite

Once players have the fishing rod equipped and ready to go, they should walk around the island’s perimeter and search for groups of fish. There will be a ripple effect in the water, and that’s where players will want to aim their fishing rod. If they hit the right spot, they can pull the fishing rod out of the water and have a chance of grabbing a fish or possibly a rare weapon or item.

In order for the Fortnite quest to be completed, players will need to catch five fish. Luckily, players can use the fishing rod for as long as they would like to, as it has unlimited uses. However, players should be aware of enemy players that might drop down onto the same island.

While players search the location, they can also find one of the Alien Artifacts underneath a shack on the southern edge of the island. Five of them have been added to the Fortnite map every single week, and they can be used to unlock new styles for the alien Kymera skin.

Fortnite is now free-to-play on PC, PS4/PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
