Before you go on and show your fishing skills, you will need a couple of things. These are a body of water and a Fishing Rod. You can find water mostly anywhere in LEGO Fortnite, especially in the grasslands biome. To craft a Fishing Rod, you will need to follow the steps below:

• First, go to the Crafting Bench and press the Interact button (E on PC, Square on PS5, and X on Xbox).
• Now, select which rarity of Fishing Rod you want to craft and click on the Craft button (F key on PC, X on Xbox, Square on PS, and Y on Switch).
• After the processing is done, the item will be in your inventory.
