You might be able to do Mouse.Target.Material, and see if it is water.

set a raycast from the player mouse position then check if the raycast hit water terrain and if it did allow fishig rod if not we won’t

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local function canFish()
    local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
    local mouseRay = camera:ScreenPointToRay(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
    
    local raycastParams = RaycastParams.new()
    raycastParams.FilterDescendantsInstances = {player.Character} 
    raycastParams.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Blacklist
    
    local raycastResult = workspace:Raycast(mouseRay.Origin, mouseRay.Direction * 1000, raycastParams)
    
    if raycastResult then
        local material = raycastResult.Material
        return material == Enum.Material.Water
    end
    
    return false
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and not gameProcessed then
        if canFish() then
            -- your fishing cast rod add it it here 
        else
            print("Can't Fish ROd")
        end
    end
end)
