FlySim

The name is an indication of what lies in store when playing this game. FlySim is just that, a very realistic and three-dimensional experience that puts the player on the water. Reading the water, matching the hatch, selecting flies and casting are skills presented in the game, making FlySim suitable as a learning tool. The game features nine different areas of the country and over 10 different species of fish to provide players with realistic scenarios. As of 2010, FlySim is available for PC use only.
