Fishing in Nightingale can be quite a chore with the fish zig-zagging left and right, making it hard to maintain line tension around the centre (recommended by the game).
But there's actually a much easier way, based on how fishing works in real life -- you angle your rod up to increase tension. Fishermen do not typically zig-zag their rod wildly to follow the fish. They just angle up their rod to pull against the fish.
In Nightingale you can angle your rod up by basically looking up to the sky. This will pull your rod up and increase line tension. Look back downward to ease the line tension if it's dangerously high. Doing it this way you can't see the fish health but managing line tension and Stamina are more important.
If the fish has a wide range to go left or right -- for example if you are standing on a rock and there's water all around you -- then it can go so far to the side that even looking down at the water won't release enough tension. Then you will have to turn toward the fish a bit to reduce line tension. Ideally the width of the body of water shouldn't be too wide if you want an easier time as that limits the ability of the fish to go sidways.
To reduce fish health you need to press LMB, which drains Stamina and if your Stamina falls to 0 the fish escapes. So before it falls to zero, release LMB. You can see the different in the action at the reel -- reeling in the fish when you press LMB, or releasing line to take a break when you are not pressing LMB. Your Stamina will recover quickly to let you keep fighting the fish.
