How to unlock the Fisherman achievement in Stardew Valley - Definitive Guide

You will get your first bamboo fishing pole for free from Willy (it costs 500gold at his beach shop).

How to fish:
Face water with the pole selected, hold cn_X to start casting and then release at desired distance. When you get something to bite press cn_X to start the mini-game.
The goal here is to keep the fish inside the green bar. You control it by tapping or holding cn_A. Same as with farming and mining etc, this is a skill you level up.
Be aware some fish are harder then others to catch.

Depending on time of year/day and location you fish at, you will get different fish to bite.
This achievement will pop well within the first year for most players.

@Cl4nD3St1n0 Mx and everyone else in their position.. when you know you are about to get an achievement (you've checked the wiki and are 100% sure you understand how it is supposed to unlock) you should start a new day then catch your 10th fish and if the achievement doesn't pop.. reset the day and try again.. had to do that a few times in this game (you have to make a second playthrough for JoJo Co. Member of the Year achievement so it's not the end of the world but it is really annoying..)
