Yup, I said I might do it, and here it is!

DOWNLOAD!

As I said, it would cause a lot of complications if I were to make a fishing rod E2 that interacts with the virtual pond...for instance:
- The virtual pond only checks for a small box of water, and does not get the shape of the full body of water.
- Lag, especially with more than one virtual pond.
- Creating a system for removing caught fish, passing them onto the rod, then replacing them.

So, I made it a standalone fishing rod - it can be used with any body of water, and does not require the virtual pond.

You could still spawn it in the same body of water, to give the feel of being able to see the fish you are finding, but the choice is yours!

_Instructions_

1) Spawn the E2 - it will create a fishing rod, a fishing wire, and a float for you. No setup necessary!

2) Hold the fishing rod over some water, with the float touching the surface, like so;

3) Wait patiently until your float starts to bob up and down. This means you have hooked a fish!

4) Pull the rod up, and the line will reel itself in, pulling the fish into view for you.

5) After taking any necessary notes of what you have caught, gloating to your fellow players, or whatever you feel like doing with the fish, you can release it by putting it back into the water. Repeat from step 3.
