Fishing is a skill associated with catching fish, using a fishing rod or crab pots, in Stardew Valley.
A fishing rod is used to cast a fishing line into a body of water. Casting into randomly appearing bubbles in the water will result in fish biting quicker. To cast, hold down the left mouse button (a meter will appear), then release to cast. Depending on how full the meter is when the mouse button is released, determines how far the line is cast. It is possible to slightly alter the placement of the fishing line with the arrow keys or WASD during mid cast. This can help with bubbling water pools in awkward positions. When a fish bites, click the left mouse button to start the mini-game.
The goal of the fishing mini-game is to keep the small fish icon in the rectangle area until a progress bar is completely filled. The rectangle area can be moved up by clicking and holding the mouse button, or repeatedly clicking the mouse button in quick succession. The rectangle area can be increased with fishing skill level and better fishing rods. The erratic movement of fish will also decrease with higher fishing skill level and better fishing rods.
It can be useful to keep the fish near the top of the rectangle area, as clicking to raise it is instant, but there's a slight delay when it drops. If the fish's icon moves above or below the rectangle area, the progress bar will decrease, and the fish will escape when it decreased all the way. Catching a fish without the fish leaving the rectangle area will display a "perfect".
Xbox Controls
When using an Xbox controller, first equip your fishing rod. Tap and hold the button and release when you are ready to cast your line. Once your line is cast, immediately tap and hold the button again. Once you're alerted that something has bit (an ! icon pops up with a sound effect) then release the X button to load the mini-game. Tap/hold/release or quickly tap the button to play the mini-game.
Fishing rods
Used to catch fish.
Fishing Skill
The fishing skill is associated with catching fish. It's increased by fishing using a fishing pole. Each level adds +1 fishing rod proficiency.
Every even level of fishing improves your maximum casting distance by 1. Both successfully completing the fishing minigame (even trash) and looting fish from crab pots increase fishing skill.

Treasure Chests
During the fishing mini-game, a treasure chest will occasionally appear inside the vertical bar. Treasure chests have their own progression bar, fillable by keeping the icon in the fishing bar.
The player is awarded a random bonus loot after catching the fish. Losing the fish also loses the chest. The base chance of finding a chest is 15%. The probability can be increased with the
Magnet (+15%), the Treasure Hunter (+5%) and the Pirate profession (+15%) for a total of 50% chance. It is further increased by daily Luck + (Luck / 2.0)% and a hidden Luck level +(LuckLevel * 0.005)%
