To embark on your fishing journey in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, you'll first need to unlock this feature. Head to the **Forest Base Camp** in the Scarlet Forest, which you'll reach in Chapter 1. There, you'll find **Kanya** by a pond, engaged in fishing. Approach her once you have full access to the camp.

After speaking with Kanya, she'll generously provide you with a fishing rod and the **Common Wood Minnow** lure, initiating the side quest **'Fishing: Life, in Microcosm'**. This is the first step in a series of fishing quests that will unlock various bait lures, enabling you to catch the rarest fish in the game.
