So, you are stuck inside your home longing to go out and fish. Maybe it is in the dead of winter and you would rather not freeze your butt off sitting on a frozen lake. Or maybe it has been raining for a week straight and you are cursing the weather for depriving you of the short time you have available to go trout fishing or pike fishing. Well, you may not be able to fish for real, but if you have a computer, you can sure take advantage of all the online fishing games available for you out there. Yes, you heard me, there is such thing as fishing video games, and you might even run into some free fishing games (but those might not be as well made as others.) Most fishing games have free trials and I would suggest trying out a bunch and waiting to buy one until you have found one you really like. Anyways, I am going to list a couple here and maybe I can help you on your way to finding the perfect fishing game for you.

Fishing Expert 4.0 – This game is a little more technical than others. It contains a database that queries your fishing conditions then provides you with one of over 300 fishing strategies or patterns. It takes into account such things as weather, high and low pressure systems, spawning conditions, etc.

Pro Bass Fishing – Bass fishing games are extremely popular and the majority of games you will come across are based around fishing for bass. This is definitely an online fishing game that deserves to be on a console system, because it is very well made. Splashing fish, dancing water bugs, ripples and various other little details make it a game worth checking out.

Outdoor Life: A Sportsman’s Challenge – Have you ever heard of Sim City? Well if you haven’t, you basically take on the challenge of running and building your own city. This game is much the same, but instead of a city, you build up your own fishing paradise. This game diverts from the normal way a fishing game is made, and does not disappoint.

Flysim Fly Fishing Game by FlySim.com – This game is one of a kind in that it is a fly fishing game. It portrays real life physics and enables you to practice your flycasts at fish that demonstrate real behaviour.

These were only a few of the hundreds and hundreds of online fishing games out there. If nothing in this list spoke to you, I’m sure you can find one that will relieve you from the boredom of not being able to fish for real. Before you know it, that weather will calm down or your wife will release you and you can get back on the water in no time!
