'''Fish''' can be found in the ocean, lakes, rivers, and in certain levels of the [[The Mines|mines]]. Most fish can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] (see the [[Fishing]] page) but some can only be caught using [[Crab Pot|crab pots]]. Some fish can only be caught in certain seasons, at certain times of the day, or when it [[Weather|rains]]. Fish can be used as ingredients in [[cooking]] and are required to restore the [[Bundles#Fish Tank|Fish Tank]] in the [[Community Center]].
'''Fish''' can be found in the ocean, lakes, rivers, and in certain levels of the [[The Mines|mines]]. Most fish can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] (see [[fishing]]) but some require [[Crab Pot|crab pots]] to catch them. Some fish only spawn at certain times of the day while others only appear when it [[Weather|rains]]. Upon catching them, the name of the fish and its length are displayed. Players can keep track of how many fish they've caught and their record lengths in their [[Collections#Fish|Collections menu]]. Fish can be used as ingredients in [[cooking]] and are required to restore the [[Bundles#Fish Tank|Fish Tank]] in the [[Community Center]].
While players can fish near any body of water, some places have lower rates of success. These areas are more likely to produce junk, which can be sold for a small profit or saved and turned into useful items using the [[Recycling Machine|recycling machine]] (which unlocks with [[Fishing|level 4 fishing]].)
==Fishing Mini-Game==
[[File:Fishingicons.png|thumb|right|200px|The fishing mini-game]]
When a fish is hooked a window appears with a [[fishing]] mini-game. The player must move the highlighted area up or down to keep the fish inside it. While the fish overlaps it the catch meter will fill, while the fish is not inside the area it will decrease. If the catch meter fills completely the fish is caught, if it becomes completely empty the fish escapes. If the fish does not leave the meter boundary once, you will receive a "perfect" notification. When making "perfect" catches, the quality of the fish increases -- silver quality fish become gold quality and gold quality fish become iridium quality. (Normal quality fish are unaffected.)
When playing the fishing mini-game with mouse and keyboard, the bar will rise when the left mouse button is pressed and will lower when the mouse button is not pressed.
There are 5 types of fish in the mini-game:
* '''Mixed''': These fish use the basic movement pattern.
* '''Smooth''': These fish have a more steady movement pattern.
* '''Sinker''': These fish have a faster downwards acceleration.
* '''Floater''': These fish have a faster upwards acceleration.
* '''Dart''': These fish move more random with a [2 x difficulty]% higher possible amplitude in both directions, moving erratically up and down the fishing bar.
''See the [[fishing]] page for more details about equipment, mechanics and things unlocked as the fishing skill levels up.''
