Fishing Without a Rod

As long as you have bait, you can sit in the chair, and it automatically loads the Fishing skill. Clicking on a body of water at this point starts fishing, even if you have neither the rod or bait actually equipped, and you will continue to fish so long as the bait tin you chose, when you first used the fishing chair, is still stocked. It loads a fishing rod model of random color when you start fishing.

Not sure if it's worth noting on the page, though.
