Night fishing · Line tension management
Watch the float before setting the hook
Night Lake follows a fisherman rowing a lantern-lit boat across dark water. Cast a float, wait for a bite and strike at the right moment. Reeling involves keeping line tension safe, then selling your catch at the dock to develop equipment and explore the fishing setting.
