How to play Fishing World

Using the fishing Reel

The fishing reel can be tricky to use, especially if a fish is fighting hard. Here's some handy tips on how to use it:

Fighting a fish using the tension bar

When fighting a fish the goal is to keep the Tension Bar in the middle... too much tension will harm your rod, not enough tension and the fish will slip off.

The speed at which you reel in will affect the line tension - reeling faster will put more strain on the line. Sometimes a fish will pull harder, at which point you should reel in more slowly, or let go of the mouse completely.

Eventually the fish will get tired and give up, making it easier to reel in - every fish is different though!

Fishing Challenges

Completing Challenges is your main goal in Fishing World - it's how you unlock rewards and progress through the game. Some challenges will require you to catch fish using certain baits, or at a specific location but it will always involve catching fish.

Every location has its own set of challenges, some of which will be easy and some will be much harder! You can access the Challenge list by clicking this icon:

This will display all the challenges for the current location and show your progression on each.

Challenge suggestions

You also have the Challenge suggestion window (shown below) - this will always show you the easiest, most suitable challenge for the spot you are currently fishing.



This button will show another Challenge suggestion - it will always show the top 3 challenges it thinks will be easiest at this time.

If the Challenge is asking you to catch a specific fish species then this button will link to that fish's information page so you can see the best baits to catch it etc...
