How to Fish is a browser game about catching fish and trying to bring them back without losing the line. There is also a harpoon, so it is not just about sitting still and waiting for a bite.
Cast your line and wait for a fish to bite. If you get one on the line, pay attention to the line as you reel it in. If you want to try another way, you can also use the harpoon.
Controls: Mouse and keyboard on desktop, with touch controls on supported devices.
Getting a stubborn fish close to you is where things get interesting. Pull too much and you can lose control; wait too long and the fish can create more distance.
Take a few catches slowly at the beginning. It is easier to learn the reel this way than trying to pull every fish in as fast as possible.
The game is easy to pick up, but catching a fish is more hands-on than in a typical click-and-wait fishing game. The harpoon and movement also give you something else to do between catches.
At first, I was pulling the line too often and making catches harder than they needed to be. After slowing down and watching the fish's movement, the fishing felt much easier. I also preferred using the harpoon occasionally because it breaks up the usual fishing rhythm.
