The Stardew Valley fishing guide

Fishing in Stardew Valley is done via a minigame. A meter with a fish image moving up and down will display when a fish is hooked, and you have to manipulate a green bar to stay above the fish. The catch meter will climb while the fish is under the green bar and descend when it moves off the bar. Your capture will be successful if the catch meter fills all the way to the top; if it falls all the way to the bottom, the fish will escape.

Fish are categorized into many grades according to varying degrees of "quality." Normal, silver, gold, and iridium are these tiers. The sale price for each tier varies, with iridium being the most and normal being the lowest.

Fishing poles come in four varieties: fiberglass, iridium, bamboo, and training rods. Iridium rods can use both bait and gear, fiberglass rods can utilize bait, and training rods are simpler to use but can only catch common species. You can buy and equip a lead bobber if you have an iridium rod and are above level six. This will stop the fish in the minigame from bobbing and making it simpler to catch. The fish will become of higher grade if you can maintain them within the green bar for the duration of the minigame. This is known as securing a perfect catch.

Until the fish is captured, it is hard to determine the precise specimen. You can determine what kind of behavior you could have hooked by looking at certain actions and circumstances, such as the time of day or season. Additionally, you can be sure you've caught a good fish since the emblem of the legendary fish will always have a little crown on it!

There are five distinct behavioral tendencies among the fish in Stardew Valley.

• Mixed – they move in a basic pattern
• Smooth – they move with a steady, slower pattern
• Sinker – they move with a faster downward acceleration
• Floater – they move with a faster upward acceleration
• Dart – they move with a random pattern and are more difficult to predict and catch

Fish from Stardew Valley legend

Hard to catch fish that are unique to a certain location are known as legendary fish. In the fishing minigame, they may be identified by the little crown that appears on the fish symbol. Once they are captured, they will not reappear in the same save file. It's not surprising if it takes many tries to grab them because of how hard they are.

Fish II: Legendary

Catch Legendary Fish II while on Mr. Qi's "Extended Family" quest. They are the progeny of the first legendary fish, however they are only available for capture while the quest is on.

Fish in crab pot

All of the creatures that may be utilized in the crab pot bundle can be found on the beach or captured using a crab pot. Fish collected in a crab pot will always be of regular quality, whereas fish foraged on the shore may be of normal, silver, gold, or iridium quality.

Additional catches

While fishing, there are some objects you may catch that are neither quite fish nor garbage. Don't be too upset if you catch one of them; you'll gain some experience points for it and can utilize it in certain recipes.

What is the fish pond in Stardew Valley?

Robin sells the fish pond, a farm structure, at the Carpenter's shop in the highlands. It takes two days to create, requires 5,000g, 200 stones, five seaweed, and five green algae, and takes up a 5x5 square. Legendary fish are prohibited, but most fish, including those from the Night Market and crab pots (apart from clams), may be raised in the fish pond.

A pond may only contain one species of fish at a time, and three fish is usually the starting limit. Some exotic species, such as woodskips, blobfish, and ghostfish, can only hold one in a pond, although tiger trout, sea urchins, and coral can hold 10 at first. Except for tiger trout, which are incapable of reproducing, fish housed in the fish pond may create as much as possible in the form of roe and random objects.

Casting your fishing rod will allow you to collect fish from your pond. Remember that even if you start with a higher grade, they will always be of standard quality! Casting your line uses energy, but you don't need to play a minigame to catch fish from the pond; also, no bait is used, and your gear is unaffected.

Which Fish packages from Stardew Valley are available in the Community Center?

You must collect the fish bundles in order to finish the Community Center bundles. The shimmering boulder to the left of the mine entrance will be removed after the six fish bundles in the Community Center's fish tank are finished. As a result, Willy will offer you a copper pan that you may use to gather minerals and other materials from water anytime sparkling patches show up.

All of the bundles are mentioned below, and the table above shows you where and when to find these fishy companions.

Recall that the inventory page allows you to see your bundles and the total number of products you have submitted at any one time. Before selling them all, keep a look out for the gentle pulsation of inventory goods that are required for bundles.
