Can I catch fish in Valheim with a bow, spear, or by hand?

Can I catch fish in Valheim with a bow, spear, or by hand? - Person Holding Small Fish

Please, no spoilers. My friend and I are very much enjoying the "explore & discover" aspects of this game and I don't want to ruin that. I accidentally spoiled myself already by trying to answer this by google search - so please, no (more) spoilers.

We already know that somewhere (near the world's edge, we think) there is a Trader. We have not found him (although last night we went on a trip to the edge of the world and promptly fell off, complete with our boat and all of our best gear). My earlier google search indicated that the Trader sells fishing rods.

So, my question... is there any other way to hunt fish? They don't seem to be susceptible to spears (thrown or stabbing) or to arrows (at least, not wooden or flint ones).

Again, please minimize spoilers - "yes" and "no" are perfect, although if I'm missing something with spear/bow fishing and it is possible, some guidance would be nice.

*: I don't consider "looking for fish that washed up on shore" to be "hunting".

Best Answer

No.

Once you reach the trader, you can buy a fishing pole, which will let you fish. The pole itself costs 350 gold, and you can also buy bait at a rate of 10 gold per 50 bait (each cast costs 1 bait).

You can also:

Kill sea serpents for their meat, although it's not the generic fish meat, it is a special kind of meat. Harpoons can help with this, as well as a good bow and arrow.
