Players must cast their fishing lures in the water in order to catch the fish as they swim in the digitized body of water. Certain areas of the lake can be chosen and weather can also be a factor. When actually fishing, the player's virtual avatar can be seen casting his lure into the water. The fishing in the game is done from the morning hours to mid-afternoon. There are a variety of lures to choose from including sinkers and bobbers.
