Fishing Rods not working for me

I have had an issue with this since the start of wipe. The fishing rod will cast, but only at extreme angles in the rivers, basically I have to stand at the water's edge and cast at the water's edge. I also need to be facing in that direction to pull the line in, if I turn towards the middle of the river, it doesn't pull the line in.

It doesn't seem to be an issue in the pools and I haven't yet attempted to fish in the ocean or in lakes.
