Fallout 76 now lets you go fishing in its irradiated waters, though I'm more interested in the massive combat overhaul added in its 'Gone Fission' update

A vault dweller wearing a leather jacket and stetson holds up a freshly caught fish in Fallout 76.

Look, I'm not a big fan of fishing minigames for a whole bunch of reasons. But I am deeply fond of abysmal puns. So on that basis alone, Fallout 76's Gone Fission update gets a pass from me. But this exquisitely/terribly titled addition to Bethesda's multiplayer Fallout does more than let you yoink marine life out of its irradiated water bodies. It also brings a significant overhaul to the game's combat, and that has my attention.

Before all that, though, fishing fans can get their rod on by visiting a new location in the Mire. Imaginatively called Fisherman's rest, here you'll encounter a character known as The Fisherman (really stretching your vocabulary there, Bethesda). The Fisherman will give you the Casting Off questline, through which you'll acquire a fancy new fishing rod.
