Though fishing inStardew Valleyis a fun activity, it is also considered one of the most difficult to truly master. Between choosing whichprofession tracks to follow inStardew Valley,and knowing what to do at certain bodies of water, fishing can be considered a game of its own merit. However, players that are handy with a fishing rod can discover treasures to use as gifts, as furniture for the farm, or as a way to turn a profit for all the time and bait invested into it. True to reality,Stardew Valley’s fishing has a lot of luck involved in what players can catch, and one player showed just how far their luck went.
