Aside from running your tavern, you'll need to spend time exploring the wilderness in Ale & Tale: Tavern. The forest, lake, swamp, and fields all offer a variety of resources for you to enjoy, and you can partake in side activities like fishing to pass the time.

PostsHowever, fishing isn't available right away. You'll need to progress further with your tavern to unlock the fishing rod and learn how to fish in the wild. Thankfully, we'll walk you through all of it so you can reel in a big catch and serve new dishes at your tavern as soon as possible.
Where To Find The Mermaid
As you continue to progress with your tavern, the merchant will eventually ask you to find a girl along the beach. Without more instruction than that, you're left to your own devices to find and speak with her.
While facing your tavern, go through the ruined gate to the left of the paddock. The path will lead you to the shoreline, where you'll find a mermaid waiting for you on the rocks. Speak with her to learn that there are dams nearby that prevent the fish from flowing.
The dams are surrounded by toxic clouds that will poison you!
She'll teach you how to make poison resistance potions so you can get close to the dams, as well as a fishing rod so you can catch the ingredients.
You'll need to mix Pufferfish and Bear Liver in an Alchemical Lab back at your tavern to make the potion, and you'll want to gather enough materials to make three potions total.
How To Fish
To gather the fish you need, equip your fishing rod and head to the lake. Toss the lure into the water and wait. When a fish bites, a wheel will appear in the center of the screen with two arrows: one inside the wheel and one outside.
Try to keep the two arrows together as the fish fights against being reeled in. The longer the two arrows are in sync, the higher the percentage in the center of the wheel will be. Once it reaches 100, you'll catch the fish on the line!
If the percentage reaches zero, the line will break and you'll have to cast it again.
Once you catch all three Pufferfish from the lake, go back to your tavern to make the potions.
How To Break The Dams
With the potions in hand, return to the mermaid. She tasks you with officially breaking the dams down, and you'll need to drink the potions to do it. Make sure you have an axe ready to go.
There are three dams to break, and each of them are clouded with poison. As you get close, drink one of the poison resistance potions. You'll gain immunity to the poison for one minute, so act fast to cut down the logs blocking the waterways.
As you break down the logs, turtles may emerge and attack you. Be ready to defend yourself!
After you break each dam, the poison will dissipate and a sacred stone will appear in its place. Pick each stone up, for a total of three, and take them to the far edge of the lake. There, you'll find three empty pedestals.
Place one stone on each of the pedestals and head back to the mermaid. Overjoyed that the dams are gone and that the fish can swim freely, she asks you to bring her a bowl of trout soup.
Turtles will attack you again when you place the stones, so be careful!
The recipe requires fresh trout, water, and a carrot. Cook it on your stove, then deliver it to the mermaid to complete the quest and become a true friend to the sea.
