Evaluation

Euro Fishing launched on November 2, 2015 and received a sustained run of post-launch DLC content. Dovetail Games released Foundry Dock (July 2017), then launched a Season Pass on September 5, 2017, which bundled four additional lake venues: Manor Farm Lake (September 2017), Le Lac d'Or (November 2017), Waldsee (January 2018), and Bergsee (February 2018). The Bergsee release was explicitly described as "the fourth and final DLC release in Euro Fishing's Season Pass." Following the completion of the Season Pass, two more standalone venues were released: Hunters Lake (April 2018) and Lilies (May 24, 2018). All nine DLC entries in the store listing are marked as released, and no unreleased DLC exists. The most recent developer communication of any substance was the Lilies launch on May 24, 2018. The only post since then is a June 17, 2025 discount notice for a Steam sale event — a promotional post, not a content announcement. There is no post-2018 content, no roadmap, no announced future DLC, and no developer statements suggesting further development. The game shipped as a complete product with its full season pass fulfilled, and the content cycle ended with Lilies in May 2018.

About this game

Now With Basic Cast Control and Float Fishing


Euro Fishing immerses you deep into the adrenaline-packed action, fun and beauty of Europe’s most famous lakes. Master your rod, line and tactics, and refine your technique to become a top angler. This is the closest you can get to real fishing from the comfort of your own sofa. Welcome to the Great Indoors!

Whether you’re a fishing beginner or angling pro, Euro Fishing accurately and authentically replicates the feeling of actual fishing using our unique physics-based casting and reeling system, ‘Total Cast Control’.

Start by learning the basics of casting with in-game tutorials, or dive straight into one of the five unique European locations included, such as Digger Lakes and the famous St John’s Lake at Linear Fisheries, each posing their own unique challenge to land the big catch.

Using advanced AI and customisable environment effects, fish respond to water temperature, time of day, weather conditions and baits as they do in real life. Spot fish ‘shows’ before casting into the right area from a pre-set peg or the lake bank, and customise your angling equipment for the best chance of landing a catch.

In Euro Fishing, you can fish by yourself, or compete against friends and opponents in single player or hosted multiplayer tournaments, tracking and comparing catches in real time.
