Each Fishing Technique comes in three different levels: Novice, Adept, Expert

Those three techniques are the most basic techniques everybody starts with one of them: Still
Fishing, Fly Fishing and Arcane Fishing.

Some of the more unique, special and Advanced Fishing Technique can be learned through
passing down the knowledge from someone, learning from a fishing techniques manuals or
learn it magically. Each one of them can take a certain amount of time and resources, for
example the manuals will cost a 100 gold pieces each and you will need at least 10 long rests of
training to be Novice at them. And the Magical way to learn it would be much harder to get and
find it's also could be very expensive depends on the source.

Those types of fishing include: Relaxed Fishing, Dredging, Bomb Fishing, Ice Fishing, Net Fishing,
Rage Noodling, Spark Fishing, Taunt Fishing, Gator Style, Anemone Style, Bear Style, and
Crustacean Fishing.

Each fishing technique and is mainly based on one of the ability scores in D&D for example the
three basic techniques are based off: Wisdom for Still Fishing, Dexterity for Fly Fishing and for
Arcane Fishing it's either Charisma or Intelligence depends on the character’s spell casting
ability. For example from the Advanced Fishing Technique: Dredging and Rage Noodling are
based on Strength, Taunt Fishing on Charisma, Anemone Style is based on Dexterity because it's
around using Harpoons Crossbows a Spears and Arrows to and catch the fish.

Two new mechanics are introduced which are the Fishing Table Checks and the Fishing Checks,
the Fishing Table Checks is normally a flat D20 to see if they get a fish and which one it is. And
the Fishing Checks are used to see if they are able to catch the fish and it's usually a D20 plus
proficiency bonus plus any kind of bonus that is related to their Fishing Technique for example: a
level 1 character with Fly Fishing (Novice) and 16 in Dexterity will have 1d20 + 2 from the
proficiency bonus and a + 3 from the Fly Fishing (Novice) Dexterity modifier.
