The refraction of rays of light as they leave the water will cause the fish to appear in a different position i.e further away and closer to the surface. In order to spear the fish the fisherman will have to aim slightly in front of the apparent position of the fish.

You need to speak to the other shop keeper near the fisherman. Then you talk to the no nose lady. After that you need to go to the forest and get some fishrooms, then you double click the fishrooms in your inventory. Use the fishrooms on the fisherman then watch the cutscene.
