It was a pretty strange choice for Bungie to add fishing to the game.
ESO and WoW (two other games I play that have fishing) both have really robust player based economies, where fishing can lead to earning a lot of the primary game currency (the equivalent to glimmer).
Not having a player based economy, fishing in D2 is just a slow way to farm engrams which result in a handful of shards and glimmer. There isn’t much to spend glimmer on in this game anyway.
Fishing in games always seems to be boring, but at least in some games it can be rewarding despite how tedious it is.

Handful of shards and glimmer is absolutely wrong, and if that's all you're getting...lol....you're doing it wrong I'm getting piles of gear(red borders too), exotics , and golf balls.

Cool. Red borders that can be farmed 10 times faster by farming a dungeon encounter that gives you 1 engram every 1min that you can focus. While you spend an hour farming for like 15 legendaries that cant be focused, and can be armors as well. As for golf balls...GM's gives you so much of those that you have to let them go to wast at the postmaster. Same for exotics

I don't NEED any of that stuff . And I'm very aware of the optimal farm for all the things. Aside from waiting for my GotD rng to pay up that exotic , there is no chase anymore. That said, tons of new and returning players that aren't good enough or don't have a FT can get stuff fishing. Not about optimal ,but a little break, pushing a button and getting "free" drops. All good imo

A handful of shards and glimmer is what I get when I break down the gear from the engrams that I don’t want: which is pretty much all of it. I haven’t seen a golfball yet. That would actually be useful.
-
I'm seeing an exotic or a ball every 10 legendary put in. On top of the gear. I'll admit not all is a keeper, but I've advanced my red borders and got some GR drops on the others. Pretty God imo for pushing square for 45 minutes. Seen worse from endgame runs

Benn telling people for years this game cannot support long term enjoyment as it doesn't have the the play infrastructure for variety and purpose
