How it grows
Like every skill it runs from 0 to 100 and rises a tenth of a point at a time as you use it: quickly while it is low, hardly at all on work far beneath you. Every try trains it, by how hard the finds you could make are. A full backpack stops the work.
All your skills together hold 700 points. Set Fishing to rise, fall or hold in the Skills window (K). A people that is good at it starts 10 points higher, 15 on its own path, and raises it a fifth more often for life.
Using it can also raise your stats a point at a time, leaning towards: Strength (50%), Dexterity (50%).
