Fishing in Nier: Automata is a way for the player to make more gold, as well as find items. Fish and Fishing Locations will be covered on this page.
To fish, when you're near a body of water, your POD will prompt you to fish. Hold down the action button and you'll be on your way. Use the reticle to send your POD to where it should be fishing and wait. Keep the POD in your view. Once the POD dips underwater, tap the action button to reel it in. It will return with a fish or whatever else it found.
Fish in Nier: Automata are located on this page. You can find Fish at Fishing Locations throughout the game. They can be used to sell for gold, and sometimes you can get special loot while Fishing.

It seems that fish bite faster when you stand on the shore versus in the water. Could just be a coincidence, but it was taking 1-2 minutes to catch something standing in the water where standing on the shore they would almost always bite within 10 seconds.

I caught a second pod in the flooded city:coast. It came equipped with a laser. I also used that pod to fish and seemed to get much better results, though that might be subjective.

Where to find arowana machine? In the fishes list it says desert Oasis, its page says city ruins/forest and in the fishing location it isn't even inserted.

Page is wrong, it says you can sell fish for gold when you can only sell them for G. If you talk to the NPC wearing the machine head in the resistance camp he explains that G is really just scrap given bartering value. So it's not gold.

You can fish in river in the forest area. It's really hard cause you can barely see your pod but it's possible.
