What is stardew valley how to fish?

Fishing in Stardew Valley can be tricky at first, but with practice and upgrades, it becomes a reliable source of income and valuable resources. Here's a breakdown of how it works:

• Getting Started: You'll receive your first fishing rod from Willy at the beach after the first few days.

• Finding Fishing Spots: Head to any body of water (ocean, river, lake, pond). Look for bubbling spots; these are areas with a higher chance of catching fish and rarer varieties.

• Casting Your Line: Equip your fishing rod, then hold down the use button (right click by default) to power up your cast. Release to cast your line. The farther you cast, the better your chances of catching higher-quality fish. Try to land your line near bubbling spots.

• The Catch: Once a fish bites, an exclamation point will appear. Click the use button quickly to initiate the mini-game.

• The Mini-Game: A vertical bar appears with a fish icon moving up and down. Your goal is to keep the green bar over the fish icon. Clicking and holding the use button raises the green bar; releasing it lowers the bar.

• Success and Failure: If you keep the fish within the green bar until the progress bar fills, you catch the fish. If the fish escapes the green bar, the progress meter will deplete, and if it empties before you can fill it, the fish gets away.

• Fishing Skill: As you catch fish, your fishing skill increases. This expands the size of the green bar in the mini-game, making it easier to catch fish. It also unlocks better fishing rods and tackle.

• Fishing Tackle: As your skill increases, you will be able to use Fishing Tackle to improve your fishing.

• Types of Fish: Different fish are available depending on the location, season, time of day, and weather.

• Upgrading Your Rod: Visit Willy at the Fish Shop to upgrade your fishing rod to the Fiberglass Rod and Iridium Rod as your fishing skill increases. These rods allow you to use bait and tackle, which greatly improve your fishing.

• Bait: Bait increases the bite rate, making fish bite faster.

• Treasure: Sometimes, while fishing, a treasure chest will appear. You must catch the fish while also keeping the green bar over the treasure icon to obtain both the fish and the treasure.
