The availability of many types of fish can depend on various factors: the location of the fishing spot, the season, the time of day, and the weather. Match your fishing location to current conditions as necessary in order to give yourself the chance to catch the type(s) of fish you want.

Water '''depth''' (or '''clearWaterDistance''' in modding) refers to distance from land (any walkable area), not to distance beneath the water surface. Since the quality of the fish you catch depends on depth, you ideally want to cast your bobber as far from land as you can. It is worth noting that the color of the water and the particular fishing spot have no effect on fish quality at all. Only the bobber's depth when you make a catch matters. (For more information, see [[Fishing#Cast Distance|Cast Distance]].)

The quality of fish rises the farther the line is cast from any walkable area. This is referred to as the water depth (or "clearWaterDistance" in modding). Ideally, you want to place the bobber in a tile that has 5 depth (which is the maximum). (For more information, see [[Fishing#Cast Distance|Cast Distance]].)

Below are some suggested prime locations, that have a depth of 5. Some of these are also locations where you can catch legendary fish.
