To start fishing in the game, you must unlock the area ahead of the conveyor. This will unlock your first fishing rod, new baits to catch rarer eggs, and an area to place your eggs for hatching. Follow these steps to access this area:

• As you enter the game, your first task is to buy your first egg and keep collecting money from the hatched animals.
• Once you collect 5000 in-game currency, you can buy the fishing area.
• You can catch your first egg once you complete the tutorial. The fishing rod will appear at the bottom of your screen, adjacent to the hammer.
