What's in it

Real species to catch

Carp, perch, tench, roach and more, plus rare golden ones to find. Each wants a different bait and fights its own way. And one fish is so rare most anglers never find her.

Five rods to earn

Start with a basic rod and work up, each one suited to different fish and waters. There's a rare one to find too.

Handle every fish right

Wet hands, landing net, unhooking, back in the water. The fish care a coach teaches, built into the game.

Look after the water

Litter, the bank, the wildlife. The game shows why a clean fishery matters, not just how to catch.

A bank to explore

Ride between swims on the bike and find new spots to fish across the whole water.

Saved to the cloud

Your progress backs up so you can carry on across phone, tablet or computer. No account, no email.

The habits that make a good angler are built in from the first cast. Set up tackle, read a swim, pick a method, catch a fish, then look after it and the water it came from. By the time a young angler turns up to a real session, none of it is new.

Think of it as the bridge between never having fished and turning up to a session knowing what a rod, a float and a landing net are for. Play it at home, then come and do it for real.
