What is Swimcraft?

Your water. Your fish. Your venue.

Swimcraft is a cross platform fishing simulator built around a simple idea: the best venue is the one you already know. Take a photograph of your favourite spot — a park lake, a river bend, a canal cut — and Swimcraft turns it into a fully playable fishing venue.

Realistic fish AI, deep tackle systems, float bite mechanics, angler progression, online tournaments, and a community fish record board — all anchored in places that actually mean something to you.

Spiritual successor to the much-loved FishSim series, built from the ground up for modern hardware.

Features

Everything a serious angler expects

Built feature by feature with real fishing in mind — not arcade mechanics.

📸

Photo-to-Venue

Photograph any real swim and Swimcraft's Venue Creator builds it into a fully playable fishing location — water, banks, features and all.

🎣

Realistic Bite Mechanics

Bites are driven by species behaviour, tackle & bait choice, and rig setup.

🪱

Deep Tackle System

Hook patterns, line strengths, rod actions, reel drag, and a full bait selector including loosefeed and groundbait mixing.

🐟

Fish AI

Species behave according to season, temperature, feeding windows, and presentation. Build a swim properly and they'll respond.

🏆

Online Tournaments

Compete across community-built venues on a shared match calendar. Global records, match cards, and a persistent leaderboard.

📖

Fish Records

Every venue tracks its own specimen records. Chase the PB, log the catch, build the history of your water over time.
