Sorry for the digging this up. I was fishing today and was kinda annoyed with it. I won't bother whining about the lemming so here are what I think that could spice up fishing a little bit.
Give us some clue of what is on the hook. This can be related to skill proficiency, H&G comes to mind. Then colour and percentage indicators on options you choose in the process. To make this interesting and less arcady, the success chance on using an option depends also on proficiency, L&L, perhaps or H&G for simplicity . And lastly, a meter where people can see how near they get to land the fish. Hope this doesn't piss off you hardcore fishermen out there. Ciao.

Fishing is terrible and not worth it lol. Keep it like it is as long as the fish scale up somehow and become rewarding for the random bs you have to put up with to catch them. Any improvement would be amazing.

Fishing is only good in the start, a really easy way to get food before oatmeal crackers.
Just make a couple of sink-knots and fill your backpack. After oatmeal crackers, well, meh.

otameal crackers... aren't they good only when you have good purity flour? That's something totally unavailable for new players.

Well I said after fishing.
Purity oatmeal crackers are obviously better than null ones.
For one ear of oats you can make about 6-8 crackers. So even with 5 fields with 100% plenty you get 90-120 crackers. All you need is water and oatmeal, when unbaked they don't even need to rest on baking tables.
Average "noob" with around 15 biles can be full with just 2 of those.
You only need agriculture skill to farm cereal and baking skill to build bread oven and baking table, that's pretty easy in my oppinion.

Some quantity added for fishing would be neat. I just want to fish for fun nowadays.

I found it easier to cook foraged stuff and raise biles to 30 than farming and fishing.
And null purity oatmeal crackers are quite unpredictable and will let you raise phlegm and black bile only. A guy with 15 biles would need to eat like 3-4 crackers on average to raise 1 bile.

I wasn't talking about raising biles here (:
I raised my biles to 25 with foraged goods.

Do fish have purity? Because they should. Also, be more useful in general. Fishing in H&H is useless past early game too, and it should be more interesting.
