How to Fish is a physics-based fishing game on Steam. After a boating accident, players hunt creatures with guns, sell or collect catches, and improve gear while working through local quests.
Boss encounters unlock routes, while rare variants, drip creatures, trick shots, gambling, co-op recovery, and achievements create longer goals.
