What is Swimcraft?

Swimcraft is a fishing simulator with a difference: you turn real photographs of your favourite swims into fully playable venues — then fish them.

Coarse, lure and sea fishing — three disciplines in one game, every venue built from a place you know.

It's in active development. Here's what's playable now, and what's on the way.

Photo-to-venue

Trace a swim from your own photos — water, islands, depths and features — and it becomes a fishable peg.

Real cast & fight

An honest cast, line management, and a species-accurate fight where fish run, tire, and test your tackle.

Tackle & bait

Rods, reels, lines, hooks, rigs and baits that matter — starting simple and unlocking as you progress.

Angler progression

Earn XP for every catch, climb the ranks, and unlock tackle and bait as you go. A specimen can drop an XP boost — save it for a session that counts. Deeper levels and rewards arrive during Early Access.

Tournaments Planned

Online tournaments and a shared match calendar are planned for after launch — not in the game yet.

Leaderboards

Log your catches and climb venue and global leaderboards — every record tied to the swim where you made it.

Prefer email?

Wishlisting on Steam is the best way to hear at launch — but leave your email for the occasional update.
