===Cast Distance===

* It is not possible to cast 4 tiles away. (The game only uses values of 3 and 5.)

* It is not possible to cast with a depth of 4 (e.g. 4 tiles away). For whatever reason, the game only uses depth values of 3 and 5.

* It is not possible to cast more than 5 tiles away.

* It is not possible to cast with a depth higher than 5.

* If you perfectly fill the casting meter, the "Max" text will be displayed. Note that a "Max" cast does not do anything in particular. As long as you get a cast that is 90-99% of the bar, the number of tiles away from land will be identical to a "Max" cast.

** One small exception is that getting a max cast allows the possibility of finding [[Iridium Ore]] inside of a [[#Treasure Chests|fishing chest]], but that is extremely rare.

* Casting distance automatically increases by one tile at Fishing level 1, level 4, and level 8. These are the only ways to increase casting distance. Once you are level 4, you can fish in almost any place and get casts that are 5 tiles away, so the tile increase at level 8 is largely pointless.

* The game treats casting up and down differently than casting left or right:

* The game treats casting up and down differently than casting left or right:

** At level 0, a max cast up or down results in 2 tiles away, and a max cast left or right results in 3 tiles away.

** At level 0, a max cast up or down results in a depth of 2, and a max cast left or right results in a depth of 3.

** At level 1 to level 3, a max cast up or down results in 3 tiles away, and a max cast left or right results in 5 tiles away.

** At level 1 to level 3, a max cast up or down results in a depth of 3, and a max cast left or right results in a depth of 5.

** At level 4 to level 10, a max cast up or down results in 5 tiles away, and a max cast left or right results in 5 tiles away.

** At level 4 to level 10, a max cast of any direction results in a depth of 5.

* Thus, from levels 0-3, it is generally advised to cast left or right, and at levels 4-10, it does not matter which direction that you cast.

* In addition to affecting the quality of the fish, tiles away from land also affect the chances of catching certain fish over other ones. While all fish can be caught 1 tile away from land, a lot of the "better" fish have a higher chance to be caught the further away from land you go.

* Finally, it is worth noting that the color of the water or the particular position have no effect at all; only the number of tiles away from land matters.
