Hi, welcome to the community!

The steps I would take to do a fishing mechanic would be:

• Hold down a button.
• An animated bar appears. The animation increases and decreases the bar’s width.
• Throw a bobber based on the size of the bar.
• When the bobber hits the water Play an animation and starts a coroutine.
  • The coroutine has a chance to trigger a fish during each frame, increasing with each frame that passes.
• When a fish triggers play another animation.
  • The animation has an event key, if it reaches the event the fish will be gone.
    • I suppose you could add a speed for each fish, increasing or decreasing the animation speed.
• Catching the fish on-time starts the mini-game.

That would be a very basic fishing system, if you want a mini-game it would depend on your idea and design, but basing this on Stardew Valley it would be something like this:

• Create a small sprite that has a Rigidbody.
  • Lock the X position and rotation.
  • It should have the gravity activated.
• Add an upwards force to the Rigidbody only when holding down the button.
• The bar detects if it has a fish inside.
  • When the fish is inside the bar increase the “catch bar”.
    • Decrease the catch bar every frame unless it has a fish.
    • If the bar is full then catch the fish.
• When catching a fish play an animation.

That’s how I would do it, if you want something more akin to a tutorial or actual code I found this on YouTube.
