With the arrival of Season 13 and the Lord of Hatred update, players can now enjoy Fishing in Diablo 4 to collect different types of strange fish that they can collect.
While this serves mainly as a hobby you can have on the side, there are certain achievements that you can unlock along the way.
Fishing in Diablo 4 is quite simple, and once you progress with the Lord of Hatred campaign, you eventually get to unlock this feature.
How To Unlock Fishing?
Upon the completion of The Queen and the Saint quest, you will obtain the Fishing (Feature Quest), and this eventually leads you to the east of Temis.
This will lead you to a man named Shi Yugong, whom you may speak with to unlock the Fishing Feature and get a few quests related to it.

Verdict
Fishing in Diablo 4 is a simple but surprisingly engaging side activity that gives players a relaxing break from constant combat while still offering light progression through collections and achievements.
While it doesn’t provide major gameplay advantages or power boosts, it adds extra depth to exploration and rewards players who enjoy completing side content across different regions.
Overall, fishing is worth unlocking early and casually progressing over time, especially if you enjoy completionist goals or want a low-effort activity between intense dungeon runs.
