Above Water
Once you've found a good spot, press the F key to enter into Fishing mode. You can turn your fisherman left and right with the A and D keys. To cast your line, press and hold the left mouse button and then make a swinging motion with the mouse, A cast meter will appear in the bottom of the screen. Let go of the mouse button when the meter has reached the desired length to cast the line. If you have a bad cast, you can press the R key to cut the line and try again.
Boating
Gameplay is separated into two modes: Boating and Fishing. Before you can cast your line and troll for fish, you first have to choose your location on the lake. To drive your boat, press the W key to move forward, the S key to brake and reverse, the A key to steer left, and the D key to steer right. You can also adjust the camera using the Z, C, V and B keys.
Below Water
Once your line and lure are underwater, move the mouse to tease the line and tempt the fish. You can also press the E key to raise drag and the Q key to lower drag. When a fish bites, press the left mouse button to first set the hook and then use the right mouse button to reel it in. You can press the X key to switch between above water and underwater views.
Gameplay Modes
Rapala Pro Fishing offers two gameplay modes: Free Fishing and Tournament. In Free Fishing, you can choose any lake and tackle you've unlocked and fish at your leisure. In Tournament, you can select from a host of fishermen (and women) and then enter a variety of increasingly difficult timed challenges and cups. Beating tournaments unlocks new locations and gear for you to use in Free Fishing mode.
Tip: Picking a Location
There are a lot of elements you must be aware of when looking to catch trophy fish. Picking the best location is one of the most important. Spend some time trolling the waters looking for areas that provide cover, vegetation and rocky regions. These areas tend to host the biggest concentration of game fish.
Tip: Gear and Tackle
Spend some time becoming familiar with the equipment in your tackle box. The game provides detailed information on the large variety of Rapala--licensed lines, rods and lures. Knowing which to use for your location and the fish you are attempting to catch can greatly increase your odds of success.
Tip: From the Experts
It's a good idea to play through the Tutorial as well as read through the in-game Fishing Guide before entering your first Tournament. The game offers a bevy of helpful information, from Pro Tips to the characteristics of the game fish you will be catching, which include bass, catfish, walleye, pike and more.
