### 3/5 — I agree with “Need Help” review.

*2020-05-31, version 2.0870*

Great, realistic Sierra fly fishing app, but there seems to be no way to move beyond fishing the same six rivers and catching the same species of trout over and over. Why did I spend so much time earning cash and spending it on flies for fish that don’t even appear to exist in the game (namely steelhead and salmon species)? Arrows point left and right on the maps but don’t allow you to switch screens beyond the same six rivers...seems like the developers never finished the game. Too bad because it was a lot of fun for a while (but now is quickly becoming boring) and was giving me my wilderness fix while stuck at home during shelter-in-place. Please update the app and add the ability to fish for salmon and steelhead!

### 3/5 — Need help

Enjoy the game, but how do you get to fish for salmon, steelhead, etc.  Someone please comment.  No directions available.

### 2/5 — Won’t load

*2021-12-30, version 2.0870*

### 2/5 — Help

*2021-01-13*

I cant get passed the first 6 rivers. Please fix this thx.

### 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.

### 3/5 — Needs the salmon and steelhead added

*2020-12-14, version 2.0870*

Great game just a shame i saved for every fly just to not be able to use them on the intended species i just want to fish for salmon and steelhead now but cant 😓

### 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! 🐟🐠❤️😀

Best game ever can’t find theBetter one

### 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!

### 4/5 — Good but not that realistic 🎣🎣

*2020-11-23, version 2.0870*

So the game is super fun but there’s one thing you need to fix. So when I get a super big bull trout on once I get it tired it just gets stronger again. Please fix this it is not realistic. But it is a really really really fun game.

### 4/5 — Your game needs some fixing

*2020-09-19, version 2.0870*

The game is fun a good for the most part but it won’t let me go past the first 6 rivers. Are we suppose to fish the rivers till they get to a high level then there will be salmon or what because I can’t even fish for fish that are suppose to be in the game. Please reply.
