Fishing has finally arrived in LEGO Fortnite, and we have a complete guide for how to make a fishing rod in the latest update.

Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1 brought a fresh map, weapon mods, and plenty of new skins to Epic Games' Battle Royale, but the community was more excited for the launch of LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, and Fortnite Festival. The three new modes bring diverse, unexpected experiences to Fortnite, like taking the main stage as Lady Gaga, competing in electric races, or building your own LEGO world.

Although Epic Games does not update the three bonus modes as often as Battle Royale, the most recent patch introduced a staple of Fortnite to LEGO Fortnite—fishing.

Fortnite update v28.30 added various fish to LEGO Fortnite. Now, players can catch the following fish from fishing spots across LEGO worlds:

  • Orange Flopper
  • Blue Flopper
  • Green Flopper
  • Vendetta Flopper
  • Black and Blue Shield Fish
  • Purple Thermal Fish

  • Silver Thermal Fish
  • Blue Slurp Fish
  • Purple Slurp Fish
  • Yellow Slurp Fish
  • Blue Small Fry

  • Molten Spicy Fish

If you manage to catch any Legendary versions of the available fishes, then make sure you hold onto them; Epic Games promised a way to display the Legendary catches in a future update.

How to Fish in LEGO Fortnite

To fish in LEGO Fortnite, you must first find a fishing spot in a body of water. Then, simply cast your line and wait until you get a bite so you can reel in your catch.

Although LEGO Fortnite is separate from traditional Battle Royale, fishing spots and the logistics of fishing follow the same rules. All players can fish the same way in LEGO Fortnite as they would in a Battle Royale match.
