Using the dowsing rod on switch

I can be very tech challenged so I'm sure I am just screwing this up somehow. I have just got the dowsing rod and am trying to hook the levels from the water. I can throw it and it shows "snag" and I then push the left stick up three times. The up arrow buttons disappear but the dowsing rod just comes back to Concord and nothing happens. The exclamation point is still over the lever and I'm not fishing out anything. I've tried pressing all the other buttons and only the left stick makes the arrows disappear, when I press the other buttons nothing happens at all. What am I doing wrong?

This is very confusing. I had just turned on the game to remind myself how one actually uses the dowsing rod in the game & you seem to be doing everything correctly, based on your description.

So I'm wondering if this is might be an unfortunate bug?

If you're taking about when you first get it, you have to pull a series of levers then talk to the person who have it to you. Be careful because using a rod on a lever more than once will 'toggle' it again and make it go down. All the levers in that area you want to be in the 'up' position.
