About the quest Nice Day For Fishing

Collect Frogs
The Fisher has shared stories of his father’s clever fishing techniques. He wants you to collect some Frogs hopping around in the grass of the Veilwater Basin and bring them back to him.
Craft An Excellent Fishing Rod
The Fisher can craft you an Excellent Fishing Rod. With that, and Frogs as Fishing Bait, you will be able to catch epic fish — if your skills suffice.
Let the Fisher provide you with an Excellent Fishing Rod, then speak to him again.
Catch An Epic Fish
The Fisher provided you with all the things you need to catch your first epic fish. A suitable location with a high chance for epic fish is marked, but they can be found anywhere in the Veilwater Basin.
Try your luck with your newly acquired Excellent Fishing Rod and Frog bait and show your catch to the Fisher afterwards.
