Fishing pole, fish trap, boat-mounted fish net, spear fishing, and a new Cauldron soup (Klippfisk) - a fishing overhaul for Valheim.
About this mod Author’s original text
Odinrealm Fishing
This mod is an effort to bring fishing into the early game.
Right from the start, a Simple Fishing Pole and spear fishing get you
catching fish immediately, and Raw Fish can be cooked at the Workbench
before you've even built a real kitchen. Later, once you've put down
roots in the Meadows, the Fish Trap gives you a passive way to keep
fish coming in without standing at the water's edge. Push further with
a boat and a level 3 Workbench, and the Fish Net and Klippfisk open up
trawling from the water and a hearty new soup to cook with the catch.
Features
- Fishing pole — bait it with an uncooked Neck Tail and cast from
shore or a boat to catch Meadows fish. Much shorter cast than the
fishing rod from Haldor. Craftable at a level 1 Workbench.
- Spear fishing — throw your spear to catch a fish. The fish will
appear impaled on your spear if you hit it! Pick the spear back up to
add the fish to your inventory.
- Raw Fish – This recipe has moved to the Workbench so you can cook
your fish over the fire right away. Cooked Fish is now the best
Meadows food available.
- Fish trap — build one at the water's surface and check back on it
every so often. It has a chance to have trapped a real fish from the
local waters, ready to collect. Craftable with the hammer once you
have a level 3 Workbench.
- Fish net — mount it on your ship's stern cleat and tow it while
underway to trawl for fish. Craftable at any level 3 Workbench. Attach
on Karve, Longship and Drakkar. The cleat is on the port side of the
ship, opposite the rudder.
- Klippfisk — a new, hearty early-game soup cooked at the Cauldron
from Cooked Fish, Carrot, and Thistle.
Notes
This mod ships as a folder (not a bare DLL) because one of its sound
effects is a real audio file loaded alongside the plugin — install it the
normal way (through r2modman, Mod Manager, or by copying the
whole folder into BepInEx/plugins) and it'll be picked up correctly.
Requires Jotunn.
Built and tested against Valheim 1.0.16.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
