To embark on your fishing journey in Monster Hunter Wilds, head to the Forest Base Camp in the Scarlet Forest, which you'll first encounter during Chapter 1. Here, you'll find Kanya fishing by a pond. Engage with her to unlock the fishing mechanic. She'll gift you a fishing rod, the Common Wood Minnow lure, and introduce you to the ‘Fishing: Life, in Microcosm’ sidequest. This marks the beginning of your fishing adventures, paving the way for unlocking additional bait lures to catch the game's rarest fish.
