Expect to bag as many dead cultists, bears, and mountain lions as you do trout.

Catching fish is easy and satisfying, but any meditative properties are gutted by Far Cry 5's insistence on entertaining you. It feels and looks amazing, propped up by a detailed rendition of Montana. Far Cry 5's take does away with the brush and the long waits but gives you a character that can cast line across a damn football field with the grace of an Olympic javelin thrower. He calls it 'the philosopher's sport', probably because you spend a lot of time sitting around doing nothing or untangling your line from the brush. I grew up fly-fishing with my dad, a method for catching trout in which the fisherman wraps a bunch of feathers and fur around a small hook to resemble a bug and whips it around like a bullfighter.
