I just wanted to add to my review. I have now been able to play this game further and found it very entertaining. I have met all goals to proceed thru all the fishing areas and now yu need more stargety in finding and lauring the fish as you seek the “big ones” Granded the landing of the fish is a little anti-climatic but it does take skil and attention to land time since differnt fish have different movemnets and actions that you need to reach. I am quite please and find it is everything as advertized.
I have had the game for about a month and have had time to play. My initial reaction had to do with the fish master. In the initial visit he actually spoke until you where ask to enter your name. When you returned he no longer spoke and you need to read the screen thereafter. I contacted Natsume via e-mail and was pleasantly surprised at the fast response (within 2 hours) with a very precise answer. The reason is the game is limited to 50 lines of audio speech. Nothing is wrong with game this is working correctly. As you go along the Fish Master does periodically speak.
I had another issue that the program froze and since I did not save my progress this was lost. I again contacted Natsume again a very quick response with a reasonable answer. I want to take the time here to say that Natsume has been excellent in providing outstanding customer service. Turns out the problem was due to my remote have low power and about to shutdown. Has worked fine. However, I do recommend that you save often.
I have now met the goals ad progress from Lake (lure Fishing), Midstream (Fly Fishing), Rock Coast (Bait Fishing), and Back to Lake for Bait Fishing. Caught all species and size of fish. They all fight and act differently and keep your interest. I am now to Open Sea fishing where you have LARGE fish and they jump out if the water and dive as you reel them in.
You do not have a line stress meter (like real fishing); you need to get the feel of the fish and its actions to know how to land it. (Like Real fishing). You can go back to lodge gain knowledge where the fish are base don the season and weather conditions (like real fishing).
The graphics are very good and you get surface, about surface and underwater views depending on the type of fishing the lures and the action of the fish. I feel this game is addictive and very entertaining. I have rented some of the other fishing games and none provide the challenge that Reel fishing provides. Granted initially it is frustrating and you may not land fish (just like real fishing) once you master the art of casting, reeling and reading the fish it is great.
And for the price I recommend this game.

It is a shame that Nintendo allows this game to be sold for their system. The product information given is absolutely untrue. Not realistic at all. No underwater views. No action when the fish is caught. A real waste of money!!! The sights and sounds are terrible.
This Angler’s Dream is an Angler’s NIGHTMARE!!!

I bought this for my husband who loves fishing games and this one is eally bad. Graphics are poor no underwater view and the fish dont even realistcly pull thru the water on your line- I figured with all of the fishing games out there we would of had a more modern progressive game but this one is terrible dont waste your money there are better fishing games out there!

I have rated this 5 STARS FOR FUN but it is showing up.
Its true this game was frustrating at first until I learned the things that were going wrong (with the exception of it freezing up one time) stopped happening as I moved through the different fishing locations. I have now made it to the end and have found all the legendary fish I have completed all goals. After I really started to learn this game it became fun and addicting. I found out if you use different poles (as you earn them) the fish act differently when reeling them in. The casting can still be a little frustrating it seems it isn’t consistent you can do the same thing twice and get different results. I was having problems with the line drawing back in some instances before a fish had bitten because I had the bait on the bottom and when I moved the lure up everything seemed to work as it should. This is more like a true experience once you learn the fish and how to fight them. Yes I agree with another reviewer the landing can be a little anticlimactic but the fight with the fish is fun and all are different. I wish they had made more room in the aquariums I had to let one legendary fish go to house another. I found information in the booklet that came with it very helpful when I was stuck.
If you are one of the people who also found this frustrating at first I would encourage you to try again it can be very fun. If you have problems I would say to you to email the manufacturer and maybe they can get some of the problems resolved for you. I have tried 4 different fishing games on the wii without a doubt this is the most fun of all I rate it number 1 for the wii.

I also bought it on the WiiWare site. The graphics are ok for a beginner like myself but I have major troubles casting my line. Can anyone tell me how to cast? Do I need wii motion plus or something? I followed the directions and only seem to be able to cast my line maybe once out of every 10 tries. Help. Thanks
