Fishing Games

Fishing games have come a long way over the years, from primitive but addictive games to some of the newer games which actually model the physics of casting and water movement as well as fish behaviour. Even with all of the improvements the games are still a poor substitute for actually getting out there and doing it, but sometimes the time, weather or the wife just won't allow it. In these situations there is a great selection of fishing games to feed the addiction, some of them are even realistic enough that you can actually improve your fishing abilities especially if you're just starting out. 

Fly Sim - This game quite cheap and suprisngly good although the graphics aren't as good as the "Real World Fly Fishing" game, casting is done by moving the mouse back and forth and has a fairly realistic feel to it. You can also practice mending the line and seeing how the varying current flows affect the drift. They have a free demo which you can check out if you're interested.
