    How to install these mods:

    Be sure to backup your files before attempting to mod it for secuirity
    1. Download the file.
    2. Go into your stardew valley folder.
    3. Go into the content folder
    4. Go into the data folder.
    5. Make a copy (for secuirity if something goes wrong) of the fish.xnb folder that is located in the data folder
    6. Replace the fish.nxb with the fish.nxb you downloaded.

            Damn good I want the harder fishing mod I was kinda disappointed how easy is the fishing mini game this game had no trouble at legendary fishes in year 1 just a damn grind in fishing in spring i got the iridium rod by 24th of spring fishing went smooth caught all the legendary fish using Dish o' the sea by the 2nd year caught off that The Legend fishy

              lol at this let me give you an advice make sure u have iridium rod and do not I repeat do not waste your time with a catch that the fish moves too fast this goes same with the boss fishes if you manage to hook them and they move so fast just let it go why u ask? I will increase your chance for it to go laidback the 2nd, 3rd, and so forth time when you try to catch them also before going for boss fishes make sure your at least lvl 8 at fishing and is eating dish of the sea or trout soup, I caught all them easy with this method , no mods just pure practice..
              My advise is not to button smash your mouse- learn to use "timed-released" wherein you press your mouse and hold it in release only when the fish moves up and down

                Dude I think you were getting lucky with the fish movement. I'm really good at the fishing, got myself to max level, iridium rod, Dish of the Sea consumed, heck I even put on a cork bobber to make the fishing area bigger. None of that mattered. The first legendary fish I went after (am still going after) kept moving too fast for the bobber's area to keep up with, even though I was reacting fast enough. The fish was zipping from top to bottom repeatedly, and no matter how good you are, you cant keep up with that due to the rate at which the bobber moves.

                The fish has a pattern, but it's still semi-random. You must just have been getting lucky with its movement patterns, because skill doesnt mean a lick if the bobber isnt able to keep up with how fast the fish is moving back and forth, even with the largest possible fishing area.

                That's why I came looking for a mod to adjust it. I'd like medium fishing, not easy fishing, but I guess I'm going to have to go with easy for a moment. Even the most difficult non-legendary fish arent a problem for me anymore. I can do them half asleep. Even pike and the like. But the legendary fish (the winter one is the one I am going after) is literally impossible for me to catch because I keep having consistent bad luck with its movement "patterns".

                So good on you for being able to catch all of them just fine, but I'm telling you, skill is not the whole equation. You are very skilled indeed, but you also got lucky. With the legendary fish, you shouldn't have to get lucky, it should be entirely skill. That's why I want Medium Fishing. Not because I'm not skilled, but because my luck is absolutely terrible. I just want to make luck stop being a factor.

                  That's a good point sir but I recommend not using the cork bobber.. I didn't use that method since it just add a little extra to the bar I used the trap bobber since it will make the drop chance for a catch to be slower when you can't keep the fish within the bar also try catching legendary fish while raining i did experiment Idk if I got lucky but during rainy days catching them was easy except the last Legend fish

                        I would love a normal difficulty fishing but with infinite tackle durability. That is one of the more annoying things of fishing, losing tackle over fishing things like seaweed and algae, when it should be used on actual catches.

                            Fishing is extremely difficult in this game, but im jsut starting out too. Does anyone else agree here? i think the fishing is like stupid hard, in fact. Or is it just me? anyone have any tips... perhaps a strategy for reeling them in using a mouse? because that bar just bounces all over the place when i attempt to reel one in. ive tried clicking fast, holding button down, steady clicks with longer pauses.... no matter what i try its nothing but fail after fail. like i said, its just stupid hard. the mechanic needs to be re-evaluated by the creator imo. not interested in mods....yet. and ty.
