To cast a fishing rod into a body of water, hold down the Use Tool button ([[File:Left-Click.png|24px]] on PC, [[File:360 X.png|24px]] button on Xbox, [[File:PS4 Square.png|24px]] on Playstation, [[File:Switch Y.png|24px]] on Switch). A meter appears, indicating how far the line will go. Release to cast. It is also possible to slightly alter the line's placement mid-cast with the movement keys (or controller stick), allowing for better control over aiming the cast and allowing to "cast diagonally" by 1 tile, which can make it possible to hit bubbles that would otherwise be unreachable.

===Bar Size===
===Bar Size===
The green rectangle increases in size with higher fishing skill level. At Fishing level 0, the bar size has a length of 96 pixels. This is increased by 8 pixels for every increase in fishing level, so that at level 10, the bar size has a length of 176 pixels. The bar size can be further increased by using either the [[Cork Bobber]] or increasing the fishing level past level 10 by using an enchant at the [[Forge]] or with food [[buffs]]. The maximum possible bar size is therefore 248 pixels, which can be achieved with level 10 fishing, using the cork bobber, using the Master Enchant at the Forge, and eating [[Seafoam Pudding]] with [[Qi Seasoning]]. The total number of pixels of the entire rectangle is 568.

The bar size can be further increased by using either the [[Cork Bobber]] or [[Deluxe Bait]] or increasing the fishing level past level 10 by using an enchant at the [[Forge]] or with food [[buffs]]. The maximum possible bar size is therefore 308 pixels, which can be achieved using the [[Advanced Iridium Rod]] and having level 10 fishing, using 2 cork bobbers, using deluxe bait, using the Master Enchant at the Forge, and eating [[Seafoam Pudding]] with [[Qi Seasoning]] and a dish with the Shrimp ingredient from the [[Desert Festival#Chef|Chef]] at the Desert Festival. Outside of the [[Desert Festival]], the maximum possible bar size is 284 pixels, exactly half of the total number of pixels of the rectangle.
The upgraded fishing rods (''i.e.,'' [[Fiberglass Rod]] and [[Iridium Rod]]) do '''not''' affect the bar size. However, using the [[Training Rod]] does affect the bar size; it sets the player's fishing skill equal to level 5 for the purposes of determining how big to make the green bar, if the player has not reached level 5 yet.

===Casting Distance===
===Casting Distance===
The player's skill level determines the maximum possible casting distance. At level 0, the maximum cast possible is 3 tiles to the south or north and 4 tiles to the east or west. The distance increases by 1 tile (in all directions) at levels 1, 4, 8 and 15.

Reaching a skill level of 15 is possible with a combination of [[food]], [[Qi Seasoning]] and/or a Fishing Pole [[Forge#Tool enchantments|enchanted with the Master enchant]].
Reaching a skill level of 15 is possible with a combination of [[Cooking|food]], [[Qi Seasoning]] and/or a Fishing Pole [[Forge#Tool enchantments|enchanted with the Master enchant]].
The actual casting distance will be a fraction of the maximum distance, based on the fullness of the mini-game casting meter. Any cast that is more than 99% of the maximum distance is highlighted by the text "Max".<ref name="max_cast" /> "Max" casts do not receive any special benefit.

The length of the cast is less important than where the bobber lands. Longer casts only improve fishing results if the bobber lands further from the shore, increasing the [[#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]]. Standing next to the water's edge allows casts to go further from land, as does avoiding locations with other nearby shores (''e.g.,'' try to fish where a river is as wide and straight as possible).

===Fish Bite Time===
The fish bite time measures the amount of time that passes before a fish bites once the fishing rod is in the water. This base time is a random number between 0.6 and 30 seconds. Each increase in fishing level decreases the maximum amount of time it takes for a fish to bite by 0.25 seconds. The time it takes for a fish to bite is reduced by 25% if it will be the player's first fish bite after the fishing rod is the water (''i.e.'' if they didn't fail to hook a fish before).
Using [[Bait (item)|Bait]], [[Magnet]], [[Magic Bait]], or any type of [[Targeted Bait]] decreases both the minimum and maximum amount of time it takes for a fish to bite by 50%. [[Wild Bait]] and [[Challenge Bait]] further decreases this by another 25%, for a total of a 62.5% decrease compared to no bait. [[Deluxe Bait]] decreases both the minimum and maximum amount of time it takes for a fish to bite by 67%.
The minimum amount of time it takes for a fish to bite cannot drop below 0.5 seconds.
===Fishing Zone===
===Fishing Zone===
{{Stub|Changed to 7 "zones" with beta 1.6; Final 1.6 code needs to be checked. Also "Fishing Zones" needs to be renamed to "Distance from Land"}}
Every water tile is assigned a Fishing Zone of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 5<ref name="fishing_zone" /> that controls many aspects of fishing. The further from land (in every direction), the better the zone. The game considers most walkable surfaces, including islands, piers, and stone bridges to be "land"; wooden footbridges are one exception.

The game considers most walkable surfaces, including islands, piers, and stone bridges to be "land"; wooden footbridges are one exception.
If the bobber lands at least 5 tiles away from any land, it is located in zone 5. Otherwise, the zone is one less than the distance (in tiles) from the nearest land. Maps of Fishing Zone are available in the [[Fishing Strategy]] section on [[Fishing Strategy#Fishing Zones|Fishing Zones]]. Note, however, that fishing zones on iOS are more complicated because of a [[#Bugs|bug]].

Higher fishing zone values provide several benefits:
Higher fishing zone values provide several benefits:
* The size and quality (''e.g.,'' normal, silver, or gold) of the fish is on average better.
* The size and quality (''e.g.,'' normal, silver, or gold) of the fish is on average better.
* The chances of hooking more difficult fish are slightly larger.
* The chances of hooking more difficult fish are slightly larger.
* Some [[#Treasure Chests|treasure chest]] items have zone requirements. In particular, some valuable treasures can only be caught at Zone=5.
* Some [[#Treasure Chests|treasure chest]] items have zone requirements. In particular, some valuable treasures can only be caught when the fishing zone is 5.
* Some [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] have zone requirements.
* Some [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] have zone requirements.
Darker shades of blue indicate deeper water, however the color of the water is not a reliable indicator of the fishing zone for a given location. In some cases, dark blue (deep) water can have a fishing zone of 0 (''e.g.,'' next to the pier at the [[Beach]]). Conversely, light blue (shallow) water can have a fishing zone of 5 (''e.g.,'' at the east end of the Beach).

The game displays a "Perfect!" catch if the fish never leaves the green rectangle. Perfect catches grant two benefits:
The game displays a "Perfect!" catch if the fish never leaves the green rectangle. It is also possible to obtain a perfect catch if the fish leaves the green rectangle when the [[Treasure Hunter]] tackle is equipped and the fish leaves the green rectangle only while the treasure chest is being captured. Perfect catches grant two benefits:
* If it is a silver or gold quality fish, the quality of the fish is increased by one. (''i.e.,'' a silver quality fish becomes a gold quality fish, a gold quality fish becomes an iridium quality fish).
* If it is a silver or gold quality fish, the quality of the fish is increased by one. (''i.e.,'' a silver quality fish becomes a gold quality fish, a gold quality fish becomes an iridium quality fish).
* The amount of experience awarded for catching the fish is multiplied by 2.4.

===Fish Size & Quality===
===Fish Size & Quality===
The factors that influence fish size are fishing zone and level, with some randomness involved. This is controlled by a variable called fFishSize, which used to calculate variations in fish sizes: a value of 0.00 for fFishSize will result in the least possible fish size while 1.00 for fFishSize will result in the highest possible fish size.<ref name="fish_quality" />
The size of each fish caught using a Fishing Rod is dependent on the Fishing Zone, the farmer's Fishing Level, the type of fish, and how close to "Perfect" the catch was. When catching a fish, a "size factor", <samp>fishSize</samp>, is determined by the equation <code>fishSize = Zone/5 * (Skill+2)/10 * Random/100</code>, where "Zone" refers to the Fishing Zone, "Skill" refers to the farmer's Fishing Level (rounded down to the nearest even value), and "Random" is a random integer value between 90 and 110, inclusive. Also note that if the player has not reached Fishing level 10 yet, the value for Skill ranges ranges between all possible even numbers from the farmer's Fishing Level (rounded down to the nearest even value) and 10 inclusive. This size factor is then limited to a range of 0 to 1 inclusive.<ref name="fishSize"/>
Each type of fish has a minimum and maximum size. When a fish is hooked, it is given an initial size based on these values and the size factor, equal to <code>minFishSize + (maxFishSize - minFishSize) * fishSize + 1</code>, rounded down, in inches.<ref name="fishSizeRange"/> The size shrinks by 1" for every 0.8 seconds that the fish is not being reeled in. However, the size cannot go below <samp>minFishSize</samp>. Additionally, if the catch was imperfect and the final size is equal to <samp>maxFishSize</samp> exactly, the fish size is reduced by 1".<ref name="fishShrinking"/> A consequence of this procedure is that the maximum possible fish size observed in game is always 1 higher than the value of <samp>maxFishSize</samp>, which can be obtained with perfect or near-perfect catch (less than 0.8 seconds not reeling in the fish). In addition, some fish have the same values for <samp>minFishSize</samp> and <samp>maxFishSize</samp>, such as the [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] and non-Ghostfish Mines fish. Due to the final adjustment for non-perfect catches, the minimum possible size for these fish is 1 lower than the value of <samp>minFishSize</samp> specified in the data.
Some fish, namely the [[Sandfish]], [[Scorpion Carp]], and [[Goby]], cannot be caught at their maximum theoretical size, as they are limited by the size of their ponds which only have a maximum [[#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]] of 2.
Base fish quality is directly determined by fFishSize: if fFishSize < 0.33 then the quality is normal, otherwise if fFishSize < 0.66 then the quality is silver, otherwise the quality is gold. This quality can be improved by one grade with the [[Quality Bobber]]. It can also be improved by one grade with a perfect catch as long as the fish was at least silver quality initially. These boosts stack with the Quality Bobber boost being considered before the Perfect Catch boost. Note that since the maximum base fish quality is gold, the only way to get an iridium quality fish is by either getting a perfect catch or using the Quality Bobber.<ref name="fish_quality" />
Base fish quality is determined directly by the value of <samp>fishSize</samp>. A value below 0.33 corresponds to normal quality, a value between 0.33 and 0.66 corresponds to silver quality, and a value of 0.66 or higher corresponds to gold quality. This quality can be improved by one grade for each [[Quality Bobber]] equipped. It can also be improved by one grade with a perfect catch as long as the fish was at least silver quality initially. These boosts stack, with the Quality Bobber boost considered before the Perfect Catch boost. Since the maximum base fish quality is gold, the only way to get an iridium quality fish is by either getting a perfect catch or using the Quality Bobber.<ref name="fishQuality" />
Any fish caught using a [[Training Rod]] has its size set to the minimum and its quality set to normal, overriding the above procedure.<ref name="fishSizeTrainingRod"/>
Below is the table for the possible quality of the fish depending on the base fish quality and whether or not a Quality Bobber was used or the catch was perfect.

Below is the table for the chances of getting certain fish sizes and base quality based on particular fishing zones and fishing levels. Note that this Base Fish Quality does not take into account improvements in quality from perfect catches or from the Quality Bobber; how those adjustments are made are described in the previous table.

** This adjustment to the fishing zone only applies to the type of fish that is caught. Bubbles have no effect on fish size or quality or on treasure chests.
No more than one bubble spot can exist per area (''e.g.,'' [[Pelican Town]], [[Cindersap Forest]]) at any given time, but different bubble spots can occur in multiple areas simultaneously. Some bubble spots are not possible for the player to reach with the fishing rod. Bubble spots cannot spawn on [[the Farm]] unless the player has chosen the [[Farm Maps|Riverland Farm Map]]<ref name="performtenminuteupdate" />.
===Fish Frenzies===
Fish Frenzies are events that can randomly happen during the day (before 11 PM) at either [[The Beach]], [[Cindersap Forest]], [[Pelican Town]], or [[The Mountain]]. They can only occur if the player has caught at least three fish and has played for at least 3 days. They can happen regardless of how many fish have been caught if the player has played for at least 14 days. Fish Frenzies cannot happen on [[Festivals|Festival]] days.
During a frenzy, bubbles will spawn for a specific fish (one that can be caught in that location on that day) in that location. When a Fish Frenzy happens, players are notified with the message " A(n) [Fish name] frenzy has begun in [location]." When fishing in these bubbles, the chances of catching the fish for the frenzy is increased significantly. The effects of these bubbles are similar to those of the combination of [[#Bubbles|normal bubbles]] and [[Targeted Bait]]. [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]] and catchable items will never be the specific fish for the frenzy.
===Energy===
===Energy===
At fishing skill level 0, casting a fishing pole consumes 8 energy. Each subsequent fishing level decreases the amount of energy used by 0.1. (While the game shows whole numbers, internally it does not round numbers.) Thus, on the 10th cast at level 1 fishing, the game shows an energy cost of only 7 instead of 8. At level 10 fishing, all casts take (and show) costs of 7 energy.

A perfect catch will increase a silver quality fish to gold quality, and a gold quality fish to iridium quality, but it is the original quality that is used in the XP equation.
A perfect catch will increase a silver quality fish to gold quality, and a gold quality fish to iridium quality, but it is the original quality that is used in the XP equation.
For example, catching a perfect Iridium quality Sardine would use the original gold quality multiplier, so the player would earn (3 + (3 * 2) + (30 / 3)) * 2.4 = 45 XP.
For example, catching a perfect Iridium quality Sardine would use the original gold quality multiplier, so the player would earn ((2 + 1) * 3) + (30 / 3) * 2.4 = 45 XP.
As another example, catching a perfect gold quality Crimsonfish (difficulty 95) with a treasure chest would net the player 3 + (3 * 1) + (95 / 3) = 37.67 (truncated to 37) base XP; 37 * 2.2 = 81.4 (truncated to 81) XP; 81 * 2.4 = 194.4 (truncated to 194) XP; 194 * 5 = 970 XP.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Note: The first level of fishing cannot normally be completed with [[Crab Pot]]s, because the player does not have access to [[bait]] until level 2. If, however, the player befriends [[Linus]], his [[Linus#Four Hearts|four heart cutscene]] will give the recipe for [[Wild Bait]], which can be used to bait crab pots at any Fishing Skill level.
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Note: The first few levels of fishing cannot normally be completed with [[Crab Pot]]s, because the player does not have access to [[Bait]] until level 2 and Crab Pots until level 3. However, the recipe for [[Wild Bait]] can be earned by befriending [[Linus]] and viewing his [[Linus#Four Hearts|four heart cutscene]]. Three crab pots can be earned at any Fishing Level by completing the {{Bundle|Crab|16|y}}. Completing the bundle without playing the fishing mini-game (or using crab pots) requires 4 fish foraged from the beach and 1 crab obtained by killing crabs in the mines.

==Treasure Chests==
==Treasure Chests==
During the fishing mini-game, a treasure chest will occasionally appear inside the vertical bar. Treasure chests have their own progression bar, fillable by keeping the green bobber bar behind the treasure chest icon [[File:Fishing Treasure Chest.png|24px|class=inline]]. If obtained, the player is awarded random bonus loot after catching the fish. Losing the fish also loses the treasure chest.
During the fishing mini-game, between 1 and 3 seconds after it starts, a treasure chest may appear inside the vertical bar. The base chance of finding a chest is 15%. The probability can be increased by 15% with the [[Magnet]], by 5% with the [[Treasure Hunter]] tackle equipped (by 10% with two equipped), and by 15% with the [[#Fishing Skill|Pirate profession]]. This is adjusted by half the value of daily [[luck]], increasing by 5% at best or decreasing by 5% at worst, with the [[Special Charm]] adding 1.25%. Food/drink buffs add 0.5% for every point of Luck.<ref name="treasure_chance" /> Treasure chests will never appear when playing the fishing minigame at the [[Stardew Valley Fair]] or during the fishing contest at the [[Festival of Ice]].
Treasure chests have their own progression bar, fillable by keeping the green bobber bar behind the treasure chest icon [[File:Fishing Treasure Chest.png|24px|class=inline]]. If obtained, the player is awarded random bonus loot after catching the fish. '''Losing the fish also loses the treasure chest.'''
After successfully catching a fish and a treasure chest, the treasure chest items will appear in a menu. In the case of successfully catching a fish and a treasure chest while [[inventory]] is full, the caught fish will appear in the treasure chest menu alongside any treasures caught. Dismissing the menu before putting all of the items into inventory will forfeit the rest of the items.
Multiple items can appear in a treasure chest. If multiple items appear in a chest, the same item can appear in multiple slots (with some exceptions, such as special items from [[festivals]]). The number of items specified in the table is the number that can appear in a single stack (''e.g.,'' at most one lost book appears in a stack, but two lost books are possible if each appears in a different stack).
Daily Luck, along with the Fishing Zone, slightly increases the chances that various special items appear (as indicated by ≈ in the following table). Luck Buffs increase the chance that a stack of resources or geodes will double in size and also allow better rings to appear ([[Magnet Ring]] instead of [[Small Magnet Ring]] and [[Glow Ring]] instead of [[Small Glow Ring]]).
[[Luck]] has a small effect on a treasure chest's contents. Daily Luck slightly increases the chances that various special items appear (as indicated by ≈ in the following table). A Luck buff can increase the number of items in a stack (specifically, it increases the chance that a stack of resources or geodes will double in size). A luck buff also allows better rings to appear ([[Magnet Ring]] instead of [[Small Magnet Ring]] and [[Glow Ring]] instead of [[Small Glow Ring]]).
===Golden Treasure Chests===
After claiming [[Mastery Cave#Masteries|Fishing Mastery]], the treasure chest that appears when fishing may be golden. The base chance of a fishing treasure chest being golden is 25%. This is adjusted by the value of daily [[luck]], increasing by 10% at best or decreasing by 10% at worst, with the [[Special Charm]] adding 2.5%.<ref name="treasure_chance" />
Golden treasure chests provide on average more items than regular treasure chests and golden treasure chests have about a 70% chance of containing at least one of the following items:<ref name="treasure" /> [[Iridium Bar]], [[Bait And Bobber]], [[Combat Quarterly]], [[Mining Monthly]], [[Stardew Valley Almanac]], [[Woodcutter's Weekly]], [[Carrot Seeds]], [[Summer Squash Seeds]], [[Broccoli Seeds]], [[Powdermelon Seeds]], [[Fish Taco]], [[Fairy Dust]], [[Dressed Spinner]], [[Challenge Bait]], [[Magnet]], [[Stardrop Tea]], [[Pearl]], [[Shrimp Cocktail]], [[Fish Stew]], and [[Sonar Bobber]]. Most of these items cannot be found in regular fishing treasure chests, and those that can have much greater chances of being found in golden ones.
<!--The items are listed in the order that they appear in the game code. Please DO NOT rearrange them. -->
===Contents===
The following is a list of all items that can be found inside treasure chests.<ref name="treasure" /> The "Chance" columns provide the probability per treasure chest (regular and golden) that the item will appear at least once in the treasure chest, if all of the requirements for the item are met.
All of the items listed below, with the exception of [[Mixed Seeds]], can be found in golden treasure chests. [[Iridium Bar]], [[Carrot Seeds]], [[Summer Squash Seeds]], [[Broccoli Seeds]], [[Powdermelon Seeds]], [[Fish Taco]], [[Fairy Dust]], [[Challenge Bait]], [[Magnet]], [[Stardrop Tea]], [[Pearl]], [[Shrimp Cocktail]], and [[Fish Stew]] cannot be found in regular treasure chests.

==Bugs==
==Bugs==
* On iOS, there is a bug that alters most the [[#Fishing Zone|Fishing Zone]] at most locations. The fishing zone is effectively calculated as if the bobber were located one tile northwest of its actual location. Therefore, casts to the south and east typically have a lower zone than they should; casts to the north and west typically have a better zone. This bug affects fish size/quality and treasure chest contents, but it does not affect the locations where Legendary Fish can be caught.

<ref name="treasure_special">The chance of a special item appearing in a treasure chest is adjusted by <samp>LuckModifier</samp>, which is set to <samp>(1 + DailyLuck) * FishingZone/5</samp>. This means that fishing zone is the most important factor, as special items are 5x more likely to be found when caught in a fishing zone of 5 instead of 1. Special items are only 1.25x more likely to be found with maximum daily luck (0.125) instead of minimum (-0.1). For example, the chance of finding a Broken Trident varies from 0.075% (DailyLuck=-0.1, FishingZone=1) to 0.469% (DailyLuck=0.125, FishingZone=5).
