88 Fishing in Crimson Desert is not unlocked through a menu or tutorial prompt. Instead, players must visit the Nas River Fishing Dock and observe a fisherman NPC who is actively casting and reeling in his line. By watching the fisherman for a short period, Kliff learns the fishing technique and unlocks the ability to use a Fishing Rod anywhere there is suitable water.

The same system applies to combat techniques: watching an NPC perform a palm strike or body slam can teach Kliff those moves for use in his own fights.
