Where to Start
There are fishing trainers found throughout the game. More than likely you will find one in the second town you come upon after you create a new charcter. After you train fishing, you will be able to fish in almost any body of water, be it lake, river, ocean, or pond. Some fishing areas require higher levels of fishing, but they are also found in higher level zones.
