This page provides fishing strategy information for Stardew Valley.

Fish Infograph
Prime Locations
The quality of fish rises the farther the line is cast from any walk-able area. In addition to the following spots, its generally known that darker parts of the water or water with a log in it (the Mines Lake, Cindersap forest lake) tend to produce quality fish. For example: in the river in the southwest part of Pelican town, you can hit the dark water area and come up with gold fish most if not all of the time.
Some of these locations are also the exact locations for the legendary fish.
Pelican Town
- Below the path on the right of Jodi's house.
The Beach
- Western pier. Cast near the rock.
- Where the river meets the ocean (in the middle of the river mouth triangle). Cast at an angle into the dark blue water from either side.
- Eastern pier (across the repaired bridge). Cast down or left at the end of the dock.
Cindersap Forest
- Below and six tiles to the left of Leah's door.
- Island near the hat shop.
The Mountains
- Southwest edge of the fence past Robin's house.
- Southern tip of the second island, also accessible from the area near the broken bridge to the east.
Time and Locations
According to the game file, a fishing spot is not divided by ocean, lake and river, but by the maps. For instance, the river south of Leah's house is not the same as the river in town.
Note that special fish are not included in the below tables. These special fish are the 5 Legendary fish and the 4 Mine fish.
The following tables are based off the Locations.yaml file:
