Story
Drop a line in the water and let the fish come to you. Fish Wrangler is an idle fishing RPG that has been running since 2008. Cast your line, walk away, and come back to see what bit. Your crew keeps fishing while you are gone, and the night crew works the lines while you sleep. Nothing stops when you close the window. Catch over 2,200 species across 111 towns, from the shallows around Waterport to the ice of Icelantica and much stranger water past that. Every fish you land goes in your collection, and some of them take years to find. WHAT YOU DO - Cast, wait, collect. This is a passive game. It respects that you have a life happening around it. - Level up poles, from a busted oak branch to rigs held together with bait twine and a prayer. - Sail to new islands, each with its own fish, its own locals and its own trouble. - Run quests, cook the catch, and work out which chum brings which fish in. - Fish with a crew of real people who take each other out on trips. - Enter daily tournaments and seasonal contests against the whole lake. WHY PEOPLE STAY Some wranglers have been fishing here for more than fifteen years. It is not a reskin and it is not a clicker that runs...
