意思
Effort is required to achieve results.
文化背景
Fishing is a deeply ingrained part of Russian identity, often associated with patience and a connection to nature. Many Russian fairy tales involve magical fish (like the Goldfish), but this proverb serves as the 'reality check' to those stories. During the Soviet period, this proverb was used extensively in schools and factories to promote the 'Stakhanovite' movement and the glorification of manual labor. Today, the phrase is often used ironically or humorously in memes to comment on the 'easy life' promised by the internet vs. the reality of hard work. Russian education is traditionally quite rigorous, and this proverb is a cornerstone of the 'no-nonsense' approach teachers take toward student effort.
Use the Diminutive
Always use 'рыбку' instead of 'рыбу'. It makes you sound much more like a native speaker and preserves the rhythm.
Don't be too preachy
If someone is clearly exhausted, saying this might annoy them. Use it for encouragement, not for shaming.

The 'и' is key
The 'и' here means 'even'. It's the secret ingredient that gives the proverb its punchy, emphatic meaning.
