Fishing Simulator Pro is a complete and customizable fishing game template, designed as a strong foundation for fishing simulators, survival games, open-world games, RPGs, and fishing mini-games.
The template combines fishing mechanics, fish AI, equipment progression, bait and lure systems, inventory, shop, save/load, water interaction, buoyancy, UI, and physics-based fishing systems into one expandable framework.
Cast your line, attract fish, hook them, fight against their strength and stamina, land your catch, keep or release it, sell fish, earn money, and upgrade your equipment.
⭐ Main Features
🎣 Complete Fishing Gameplay
A full fishing gameplay loop is included:
Equip Gear → Cast → Wait for Bite → Hook Fish → Fight → Land → Keep or Release → Sell → Upgrade
The system handles casting, reeling, line payout, fish hooking, line tension, catching, equipment changes, and resetting the rig.
🐟 Dynamic Fish AI
Fish exist physically in the water and use configurable behavior.
Features include:
Free swimming and wandering
Preferred swimming depth
Shore avoidance
Bait detection
Curiosity and bait inspection
Nibbling behavior
Bite probability
Give-up behavior
Individual swim speed
Fight strength
Stamina
Fight bursts
Head-shake forces
Randomized weight and length
Physical behavior after landing
Fish behavior can be configured individually for different species.
🐠 Multiple Fish Categories
Different fish categories react differently to bait and fishing techniques.
Predators can react to moving artificial lures and require active lure movement.
Peaceful Fish can be caught using traditional bait and float fishing.
Bottom Feeders prefer bait closer to the lake or river bed, making fishing depth important.
Fish can be configured with custom size ranges, weight, depth, swim speed, bite chance, strength, stamina, attraction behavior, and selling value.
🐟 Starter Fish Species
The included configuration contains starter fish definitions for:
Pike
Perch
Trout
Shiner
Bream
Each species can use different behavior, size, weight, strength, stamina, and economy values.
🧵 Physics-Based Fishing Line
The fishing line includes configurable simulation and tension mechanics.
Features include:
Dynamic fishing line
Gravity and sag
Damping
Line tension
Stress and breaking strength
Maximum load
Overload duration
Recovery
Fish-generated pulling forces
The player must manage line tension during the fight. Too much force can break the line.
⚙️ Reel Drag & Spool System
Reels influence how fish fights behave.
Supported parameters include:
Retrieve speed
Line payout
Reel drag
Drag slip
Maximum spool capacity
When a fish pulls harder than the configured drag, line can automatically leave the spool.
If the spool reaches its limit, additional force increases stress on the fishing line.
📏 Adjustable Fishing Depth
Float fishing includes an adjustable leader system.
Players can change the distance between the float and hook, allowing different fishing depths.
This makes rig setup important when targeting fish near the surface, mid-water, or near the bottom.
🪱 Bait & Artificial Lures
The template supports traditional bait and artificial lures.
Bait can define:
Attraction strength
Compatible fish categories
Number of uses
Durability
Artificial lures can additionally use:
Required movement speed
Buoyancy
Surface or deeper-running behavior
Custom lure prefabs
This allows different fishing styles to require different player techniques.
🎒 Equipment System
🎣 Fishing Rods
Rod stats can affect:
Casting power
Casting charge speed
Line protection
Reeling power
Rod model
⚙️ Reels
Reels can affect:
Retrieve speed
Line payout
Drag
Spool capacity
🧵 Fishing Lines
Lines can define:
Breaking strength
Diameter
Color
Underwater visibility
Line visibility can influence fish behavior, allowing trade-offs between strength and stealth.
🛒 Bobbers
Floats can define:
Buoyancy
Maximum leader length
Default leader length
Water resistance
Custom prefab
🪱 Baits & Lures
Configure which fish types each bait attracts and how effective it is.
🛍️ Inventory & Shop System
A complete equipment and fish inventory system is included.
Players can:
Own equipment
Buy equipment
Equip items
Compare statistics
Store caught fish
Sell individual fish
Sell all fish
Earn currency
Upgrade their fishing setup
Equipped items directly influence fishing gameplay.
🐟 Catch & Release
After landing a fish, the player can inspect the catch and decide whether to keep or release it.
Catch data can include:
Species
Category
Weight
Length
Selling value
Kept fish are added to the fish inventory and can later be sold.
💰 Progression & Economy
Fishing Simulator Pro supports a complete progression loop.
Catch fish, earn currency, purchase better rods, reels, lines, floats, and bait, then target stronger and more valuable fish.
Prices, fish values, equipment statistics, and starting currency can be customized.
💾 Save & Load System
Player progression can be stored using a JSON-based save system.
Saved data includes:
Currency
Owned equipment
Equipped rod
Equipped reel
Equipped line
Equipped bobber
Equipped bait
Remaining bait uses
Stored fish
Progress can automatically be restored when the game starts.
🌊 Water Interaction System
The template includes a dedicated water interaction framework.
Features include:
Water volumes
Surface height sampling
Water depth
Water boundaries
Floating physics
Submersion calculation
Water drag
Wave influence
Water entry interaction
Dynamic ripple support
⚓ Buoyancy
Floating objects can use configurable buoyancy physics.
Features include:
Multiple flotation points
Automatic float point generation
Adjustable buoyancy
Water resistance
Air and water drag
Upright stabilization
Wave influence
The system can be used for fishing floats and other floating objects.
🪞 URP Planar Reflections
The included water framework supports planar reflections in the Universal Render Pipeline.
Configurable settings include:
Reflection resolution
Reflection layers
Reflected shadows
Clip plane offset
Maximum reflection distance
💧 Dynamic Water Ripples
Water interactions can generate configurable ripple effects with adjustable:
Speed
Decay
Frequency
Width
Lifetime
Strength
🎣 Rod Bending
The fishing rod can visually react to line tension and hooked fish, giving additional feedback during fish fights.
Different rods can also use different visual models.
🖥️ Fishing UI
