Great time killer for the real fly fisherman or woman. – Fly Fishing 3D Review

Forewarned, this will be a long review. Let me say that this game took ALOT of trial an error when I first download it. I did not catch any fish for weeks (even months) and I couldn't get the casting correctly. I agree with many of the other reviews, it is not quite beginner friendly. When I actually picked up real fly fishing, I began to understand a lot more and was able to bring that knowledge to this game which improved my fish catching by knowing what flies to use in the different river or lake settings.The casting still is a challenge,but I am getting better. I am able to catch 2-3 fish with the time limit, which isn't great; however, what do you expect for the free version. The graphics are good,but not too realistic. It's a good attempt,but definitely can be better. I hope they add more levels, fish (maybe brook trout, salmon, bass, crappies, perch, and muskies), flies (terrestrials, agitators,etc), rods (regular vs. specialized and line weights), and gear (waders, vests, hats, floatant,etc) to make the game more enjoyable,realistic, help improve fishing, and have the option to personalize the fly fishing avatar. Also maybe give the fish a bit more animation. Maybe have some that are rising to the surface so you can hint of using a dry fly and some that are moving toward the bottom. Even make some spots deep so you can't actually see the fish to make it more challenging and forcing the player to use intuition. Overall it's a good attempt at a beautiful sport. It makes me want to go out fish all the time,and try to catch a real fish. There is still plenty of room for improvement,but this is the only "realistic" fly fishing game in the app store. Kudos for trying.
