===Fish Quality===
−
The game uses water '''depth''' (or '''clearWaterDistance''' in modding) to assign the quality of a fish you catch. Its name is derived from the casting distance of the bobber: where it drops, to the nearest land (any walkable area). It does not mean distance beneath the water surface. Its base value can also be altered by other factors.

For most catches:
−
* Depth 1 or 2 results in normal quality.
−
* Depth 3 results in silver.
−
* Depth 4 and above results in gold.

Fish quality can also be increased by a [[#Perfect Catches|perfect catch]]; see below. Note that counterintuitively, fish quality is '''not''' increased by fishing in [[#Bubbles|bubbles]].
