How to fish

The answer is more than simple: you mainly need one fishing pole. This tool can be bought from Haldor the merchant, which you found in the Black Forest. Haldor doesn't always stop in the same place, so you'll have to look for it, and the whole Black Forest area can initially be dangerous enough to patrol if you're not yet equipped enough. Therefore, the best way to find it is to circumscribe the periphery of the area until a bag icon appears on the map, at which point you will be able to head to the merchant. Once found, you can purchase the fishing rod for 350 coins. Since at the beginning of the game this figure will certainly be high and not within your reach, before meeting him, turn around a bit and collect valuables to exchange with him to get some more money. Once you have the required amount, buy the rod from Haldor, which will automatically be added to the inventory. Then open your inventory and assign the rod to a hotkey, so as to always have it at hand whenever you have an appetite and cross a place with water.

Only the fishing rod is not enough

It will not be enough to throw the hook into the water if attacked you will not put something that can tickle the palate of the fish. Haldor the merchant is resourceful and obviously also sells bait. Give him 10 coins and he will give you 50 pieces of bait. If you have no money but amber, a couple should be enough for bartering. When you have the feed and select the fishing rod, the option for will open apply the bait to the rod. At this point you will be fully ready to start fishing.
