With the amount of water on the LEGO Fortnite map, it’s hardly surprising that fishing has finally made its way into the game. In order to fish, you need to craft a Fishing Rod and this guide will show you how.
Catching fish is a great source of food in LEGO Fortnite. The fish can be turned into Fish Filets at a Food Processor and made into Smoked Fry Fish and Sushi by tossing the Fish Filets on a Grill.
