Russian Fishing 4 is an online fishing simulator with RPG elements from FishSoft. There is no story: you travel to lakes, rivers and the sea and fish alongside other anglers in shared locations.

The game has more than two hundred fish species and hundreds of rods, reels and lures. Float, bottom, spinning and sea fishing each work differently, and fish behaviour depends on weather, time of day and spot. You can fish from the bank or a boat. Skills grow separately for each style, you can make your own lures, and the catch can be sold or cooked. Rankings, competitions and tournaments add a competitive side.

It suits people who love real fishing and are ready to learn tackle. Progress is slow, good gear is expensive, and the premium account speeds things up noticeably.
