To fish in Genshin Impact, you need to unlock fishing by completing “Exploding Population” World Quest in Mondstadt, once you have the “Player Housing System”.

How to Complete Exploding Population to Unlock Fishing?

To get Exploding Population World Quest, you need to unlock Serenitea Pot System in Genshin Impact. Once done, here’s how to do Exploding Population quest:

Then find Mondstadt Angler, Nantuck in the City of Mondstadt.
Complete the Fishing tutorial.
Collect the rewards and go to Cider Lake.
Once tasks there are completed, go back to Nantuck.
Now go to Stormbearer Mountains.
Find and catch any type of Ornamental Fish.
Bring the Ornamental Fish to Nantuck, to complete Exploding Population world quest.

What is the Fish Respawn Time in Genshin Impact?

Fish Respawn Time in Genshin Impact is 3 days in-game from version 2.1. We also found some fish types still not respawning after this time frame, we believe we will need to wait more days for these fishes to respawn. Even though this time is not officially announced by the devs, skipping 3 days will respawn the fish types without much problem in the game. We will update this info if we find something more, or even if the devs announce anything related to this.
