'''Fish''' can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] (see [[fishing]]). They can be found in the ocean, lake or river, and some are unique to either day or night or only appear when it [[Weather|rains]]. Fish are used in [[cooking]] and the fishing community center [[Bundles|bundles]]. The length of each fish type is recorded, and viewable on the collection screen.

'''Fish''' can be found in the ocean, lakes, rivers, and in certain levels of the [[Mines|mines]]. Most fish can be caught with a [[Tools#Fishing Poles|fishing pole]] (see [[fishing]]) but some require [[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]].  

Fishing can be done near any body of water, but some places have lower rates of fish. These areas have a higher chance to reel in junk, which can be sold for a small profit or saved and turned into useful items with the [[Recycling Machine|recycling machine]] (which unlocks with [[Fishing|level 4 fishing]].)

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]].)

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 playing the fishing mini game with mouse and keyboard, when one presses the left mouse button down, the bar raises but lowers if the left mouse button is not pressed. This means that you want to use left mouse pulses to actually raise the bar, not merely clicking, as a moderately fast series of clicks will just hover the bar stationary.
