[[File:Fishingicons.png|200px|thumb|right|Fishing interface showing normal and [[Fish#Legendary Fish|Legendary Fish]]]]

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.

When a fish bites, the bobber wiggles and an exclamation point appears above the player character's head along with a distinct sound. Click the Use Tool button to start the mini-game.

===Fish Size & Quality===

===Fish Size & 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</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 value between 0.9 and 1.11. 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"/>

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 for <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 for <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.

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" />.

===Golden Treasure Chests===

===Golden Treasure Chests===

After obtaining [[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 normal 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 normal fishing treasure chests, and those that can have much greater chances of being found in golden ones.
