an alternate fishing idea

A number of people have said they wanted fishing, and I like fishing as much as anyone living in the middle of nowhere does, but I had the thought that it's not that glitchy.  And so far we don't actually catch or hunt any animals that are used as food.  

But a lot of people still like fishing.  

So here's my proposal:  

A fishing tree.  A tree by the side of some sort of water, with a fishing rod or two or three, each with a basket that drops in the water.  Fish could hop in, or not, or you could pull up a boot -- or whatever.  

I just think it's a possible way to bring fishing with a glitchy touch.

  • I agree that it's not very Glitchy to kill the animals in order to get the edible harvest.  It would be hilariously annoying if salmon jumped into your inventory without being asked when you walked near certain places.  Perhaps they could be enticed with some bait or shooed with some repellant for those who had a preference one way or another and didn't like the random aspect.  I'm picturing a cloud of fish a la Hitchcock's The Birds that randomly bomb you with fish. Probably not practical for game economics to throw currants at players but it would amuse me. As a higher level player my challenge is always inventory management and fish jumping into the middle everything would be comical.
