- Update notes for 22nd Sept 2026 - 22 September 2026
Just a quick update to address the slower feeding rates of the fish for some players. I found a small bug and fixed it. Fish should feed at the same rate as the mobile version of the game now. It doesn't mean you'll catch fish every minute, this is still a simulator!
- v3.1.4 - 8 June 2026
Fixed issue where Steam name was not displayed properly Fixed issue when chatting, keyboard inputs were not blocked from player Added popup keyboard when using a controller to enter text Added popup keyboard when playing on the Steam Deck to enter text
- Updated to v3.1.2 - 13 January 2026
I've released v3.1.2 on PC. There are likely some bugs etc so please post them in the usual places and I'll see what I can fix. With this update PC is now on the same version as mobile and cross platform online should now be working. The browser for custom baits is also working. Tight lines.
- 16 Nov 2021 - 16 November 2021
Added on screen control help - These can be disabled in the options menu
- 10/11/21 - 10 November 2021
I've added more small fish to all venues, you should be able to catch them using the Waggler float rig with maggots or redworm. These fish are more active in summer and during the day, colder months and nighttime will slow them down.
- 9th Nov 2021 - 9 November 2021
All venues are now "remastered" and have more foliage and in some cases higher resolution terrains. This is a work in progress and more uniqueness will be added. You can turn up or down the level of grass and extra trees from within the options menu. You may need to lower these levels if your PC is struggling.
- 4th Nov 21 - 4 November 2021
Added simple controller vibration support Other minor bugs fixed
- Bug fixes - 1 November 2021
Fixed the baitboat not being able to be controlled issue when not using the baitboat follow camera. Fixed some other small bugs
- 1st Nov - 1 November 2021
Fixed an issue when trying to play online with venues that were previously locked.
- 31 Oct 21 notes - 31 October 2021
Fix an issue where the Radar markers didn't hide when selecting something else. Fixed some trees on Pinetree lake being too high and not on the terrain
- v2.2.6 - 30th Oct 2021 - 30 October 2021
All Venues and Tackle are now unlocked by default as there were issues causing players to lose their progress. This also removes the 'grind' that people didn't really enjoy. Remember, you still need to fish in real time to enter your fish catches to the leaderboards! An XP style progression system may be introduced in the future but this has yet to be decided. Enjoy the venues and tackle!
- Update notes for 26th Oct 21 - 26 October 2021
Fixed an issue in multiplayer games where if you hooked a fish your character looked in the opposite direction of the fish. Steam Cloud now backs up your coins/purchases, your stats and your Radar POIs
- Notes for update 20/10/21 - 20 October 2021
Added a completely new character controller with smoother controls. You may need to re-adjust your look sensitivity as the mouse input has been toned down to match the controller input more closely. Fixed some issues regarding the tackle box screen: The system remembers and loads in what was last selected so you should be able to just swap a rig or a bait and not have to select both like before. Also if you change pegs your setups remain intact, so you can just close the tackle box menu and continue fishing. Added Russian and Polish languages Translated the bait and rig descriptions
- Update Notes for 16th October - 16 October 2021
Added a setting in the menu that enables you to turn off the rod recentering when playing a fish. Added 'Quick Select' inputs to allow selection of the rods and bait boat via a key instead of using the select menu. Again, if they're not working please enter the controls menu and either reset the controls or remap them to the inputs you require. By default they are 1,2,3,4,5,6 and attaching rigs to the bait boat has been moved to the number pad numbers 1,2,3,4. Feel free to change them as you require. Note: No defaults have been assigned to a controller as there are not enough buttons to make this comfortable but feel free to change as you see fit.
- More bugs fixed & added throwing loosefeed - 14 October 2021
Fixed resolution & full screen bugs Fixed online bug where player couldn't select equipment Made peg details and marker rod display easier to see Throwing loosefeed is now working. To throw loosefeed Press and hold T or B button on controller and release when you have enough power. If you find this doesn't work you'll need to goto the controls menu from the main menu and either reset all the controls or enter what key you want to use manually at the bottom of the peg selected category.
- Added control mapper - 13 October 2021
Added Control Mapper option on the main menu, click the controls button.
- Bug fixes - 13 October 2021
Look Sensitivity Slider can be lowered more & also added another Slider to the settings menu as well as the pause menu Fixed character models still spawning when switched off in the settings Fixed leaderboard not hiding when pressing L or releasing fish
- Finally, the update is released! - 12 October 2021
Hey all, v2.2.5 is now available. If you've played the mobile version you'll notice it's very similar with the following differences: No IAPs, all items can be purchased via in game coins, all coins are earned from catching fish. Multiplayer is unlocked by default and yes, it's cross platform so you can play with those on mobile. Graphics are higher resolution. They could be better and I'll work on improving them in the near future Your mobile data is not compatible with the Steam version of the game. Game has full controller support as well as mouse/keyboard There are still some known issues I have to fix/add. These include: No way to change your controls Pinetree lake is remastered on PC and so is not able to be played online against anyone on mobile until the mobile version is also updated Leaderboards in your profile page do not work yet I plan on posting the controls in the Communi…

Hey everyone, as you know the game is in Early Access, this means I'm still working on the game and you are welcome to offer your feedback to help shape the game.
