fishing

hi.
i want to go fishing. some article i found somewhere on the internet said i have to talk to abigail to unlock that but every time i try to talk to her, fishing does not come up. am i doing something wrong?

There's one mission where Abigail asks you to take Jack and do something with him. It occurs pretty early at the Horseshoe Overlook camp. It's not a random bit of conversation with her. Just keep doing missions and it will come up. I'd check my guide for when it becomes available, but it's packed away right now.

You'll know when fishing is available to you. I don't want to give out any spoilers but the mission is A Fisher of Men and it happens in Chapter 2.

the guide says that i have to do the paying a social call mission first. thats the one where kieran leads you to the o'driscoll hideout, right? well, i've done that one but the fishing still doesn't come up. am i doing something wrong? is there another requirement that isn't mentioned in the guide? do i need to get a fishing rod? if so, where can i get one?

Since I'm in the area, I'm gonna (try to) get Micah out, and then back to camp and see if Abigail wants to talk to me...

well, getting micah out did not do the trick for me, i had to rob that coach with micah, and when i got back to the camp, suddenly abigail wanted to talk.
