Reel Fishing II is a fishing game that uses full motion video as backgrounds. Within different fishing grounds, the player can't move freely but is restricted to certain hot spots. Then the waiting game starts until a fish bites and the camera goes underwater to show the fish and fishing line from the side. The player needs to balance giving lure, baiting and setting the hook to get the fish out of the water. The player can choose between different fishing tools.
The main playing mode involves unlocking new areas by fulfilling requirements for the available fishing grounds within a time limit. Between the fishing sequences, time and seasons advance which has an impact on the areas. Besides this, there is also a free playing mode.

How to Play
Tutorial Mode
If this is your first time playing Reel Fishing II, it is recommended to take the tutorial. It will guide you through three basic fishing lessons: Casting, Setting the Hook, and Reeling In.
To skip or repeat a Lesson, simply choose the one you want on the Tutorial Menu.
Lesson 1: Casting
Casting in the game is done by using the Button.
Cast your line by pressing . The longer you hold down the button, the further you will cast. You can move the rod left or right with the Left stick or Directional button to help aim.
Fly Fishing Casting
When fly fishing, press the Button and tap to begin casting. Before the fly touches the water, tap again. Repeat this action maintaining a rhythm for longer casts.
Lesson 2: Setting the Hook
Setting the hook is the most important and trickiest skill to master. Press at the right moment to set the hook into the fish. Timing varies between fish and style of method.
A solid strike results in a "swoosh" sound. To effectively set the hook when fishing with a float, wait for the float to dip completely below the surface before pressing.
Lesson 3: Reeling In
Once a fish is hooked, it takes a calm hand to reel it in. Wait for the fish to settle down, and press to reel it in.
Pressing and at the same time will reel the fish in quickly. Take your time, and avoid fighting against a struggling fish. A stretching sound indicates that your line is about to break.
A seasoned angler will wait for a fish to tire itself out before trying to land it.
Options Mode
Selecting Options from the title screen will take you to the Options menu, where you can tweak various game features.
Move up or down with the Left stick or Directional button to select an option. Pressing left or right with the Left stick or Directional button will toggle between the available options. Select exit and press to return to the Title Screen.

Sound Type
Select mono or stereo depending on the speakers you are using.
Select Music to enjoy a peaceful musical score while you fish, or select Nature to relax to authentic outdoor sound effects.
Vibration
If you are playing with an Analog controller, you can enable or disable the vibration feature.
Depth
Setting the Depth control on Manual will allow you to precisely determine the depth at which the rig is presented to the fish. This is possible only with certain types of tackle, and is most common when fishing the high seas.
The default mode is set to Auto, where the computer will automatically determine the optimal depth.
Drag
Drag refers to the amount of additional slack on the line at the reel. This slack will allow you a greater margin of error when struggling against larger, or more physical fish, and will reduce the likelihood of breaking your line.
Playing with the line too loose will make reeling the fish in more difficult. The default mode is also set to Auto.
Season Mode
Fishing a season is the true test of anglers in Reel Fishing® II. You begin the game at the Aqua Lodge, and set out over the year completing various objectives.
The objectives each deal with a particular style of fishing, and will lead you to a variety of locations. Completing certain challenges will unlock others.
Starting a New Season
Once you have selected Season Mode, you will have the option to continue a previously saved game, or to begin a new one. If this is a new game, you will be prompted to enter a name under which the game will be saved.
Choose letters with backspace with.

Aqua Lodge
Welcome to the Aqua Lodge, an idyllic haven for the hard-core angler. The Lodge is divided into three sections: Around the Work Desk, the Stock Corner, and the Tank Room.
All your gear is right at your fingertips to catalog and analyze. Observe the exceptional specimen you've collected in your tanks, or indulge in a wealth of other research material. All your fishing adventures begin and end here.
Work Desk
The Work Desk is really the heart of the Aqua Lodge. From here you can access your invaluable Fishing Notebook, the stepping off point for your excursions.
Also at your disposal is the Calendar, the Fly and Lure Organizer, and the latest copy of Fish Mind Magazine.
Navigating the Lodge
When you first enter the Aqua Lodge, you will be taken straight to the Work Desk. To explore other areas of the lodge, make sure you don't have an object selected, then press right or left on the Left stick or Directional button to pan around the room.
You can skip directly to a different area by pressing the Select button.
Calendar
Each time you leave the lodge, you spend one week of game time fishing. The best time of year to fish will vary from species to species, and from location to location.
You can run time forward by selecting the Calendar, and choosing the precise week you desire. Be careful, however, you cannot go back earlier in the same year.
Fishing Notebook
The Fishing Notebook is the most important object on your desk. Through it you can play all available
Tips & Maps
Don't try to land the fish too quickly!
Let the fish struggle and run; ultimately it will tire itself out. When you do start to reel it in, begin very slowly, and only reel quickly after a fish stops resisting entirely.
Fishing pole action is important.
With slight pole action, you can often guide a fish towards the direction your reeling, which can keep a fish from running out too far and snapping your line.
Experiment with setting the hook.
Setting the hook is a pivotal skill, and the exact timing varies between technique, equipment, and the species of fish you're after, so practice in Free Mode.
