Turbine has announced the addition of the fishing hobby in Lord of the Rings Online, which allows players to fish for food, sport, or just for the halibut.

A most-requested feature has finally arrived: Fishing!

We are proud to reveal the sport of fishing as the first "Hobby" introduced to The Lord of the Rings Online. And what is a Hobby, you ask? A Hobby is an activity that you may choose to participate in for fun or for profit! Similar to LOTRO's crafting professions, a hobby allows players to experience more of the world of Middle-earth, and to interact with the world in new and exciting ways.

And what better way to begin than by finding a nice spot along the bank of a river, casting your line into the water nearby, and basking in the glory of the day while trying to nab a prize-winning fighting fish - or perhaps your next meal!

It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a viking to raze a village!

I'm getting good.  I beat you by about 10 minutes

"This is the Master-Ring, the One Ring to rule them all."

Very nice!

That's a lot more in depth than I thought they were going to implement.  It will be very fun to find out the particulars in the game.  Nice to see that it has skill progression and titles and deeds and quests... very well done indeed!

You couldn't ask for a better Fishing system in an MMO like this.

Every update Turbine does, they make LOTRO even more fantastic.   I can't imagine how amazing this game will be in 2 or 3 years.

Thats awesome!  I'm a deed monger so adding some to fishing makes it even better! 

......and yeah this book update is just so good!  More game developers need to pay attention to Turbine, as their new ideas are heading in the right direction.
