Terrible app do not download. Waste of time. ### 2/5 — Won’t load *2021-12-30, version 2.0870* I know it’s not a bad game but it just pops up with a server error edit:I just noticed this game was a failedProject ### 3/5 — Fun But Glitchy *2021-09-23, version 2.0870* Pretty easy to learn, great realistic sounds and scenery. The physics used for the currents are unique and add a lot to the game play. However, I’m always having to shut the game down when I hook a fish and my reel fails to pull in any line. The status bars don’t move and the fish just swims in tight circles in the pool I caught him. Another irritating glitch is catching a fish that appears to be strong and after a long fight his energy bar replenishes to half way over and over again. I tried upgrading reels and rods to no avail. Makes me not want to play cause it happens every time. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game! *2021-08-30, version 2.0870* I love this game! It is super realistic and it is simple enough to not get confused. I love how you can choose the fish you want to target and choose all of the gear on top of that! The fish are so realistic and fun to catch! I like how you can even mount the fish unlike other fishing games. I would highly recommend this game to all real fisherman and people looking for a fun and simple game! 🐟🐠❤️😀 ### 5/5 — Sabien *2021-06-04, version 2.0870* I love this game it is one of my favorite games ### 4/5 — How do I get salmon? *2021-02-03, version 2.0870* Hi, I’m love this game I would totally download it again, but I can’t figure out how to get salmon and steelhead! If a developer is reading this, can you please reply? I would give it a five star if I knew how to get those fish! I would also like it if there was a way to buy dogs, not wait for the daily reward. Other than that great game! ### 2/5 — Help *2021-01-13* I cant get passed the first 6 rivers. Please fix this thx. ## Frequently asked questions about MainStream Fishing ### What is MainStream Fishing? MainStream Fishing is a realistic fishing simulation game.
