Pondo Goes Fishing

A fishing story

Something huge swims under the home pond. Old Wren next door says only a line of three threads can hold her. Go fishing, meet the people of the waters, and find the threads.

Free in your browser. About 15 minutes. Keyboard or mouse.

Pondo on the home dock at Reedhollow, with Wren. A huge shadow passes under the water.
The story

Every fish has a story. One of them has been waiting forty years.

Old Wren next door taught you to fish on the home dock. Out in the pond lives the Pondmother, a fish so big and so old that only one line can hold her: a line tied from three threads, by three old friends who have not spoken in forty years.

Gather the threads. Bring the friends back together. Then wait on the dock at dawn, after the rain.

A big fish landed after a long fight.

The game

Calm fish fights

Every bite turns into a turn-based fight with no timer. Read the fish, watch for its big move, and pick the right skill.

Your gear is your skills

Rod, reel, line and hook each bring a skill. A SHOCK fish wants a rod that takes the shock; a TEETH fish wants a wire line. 46 pieces to find, buy and improve.

163 fish to find

Some bite only at dawn, at dusk, at night or in the rain. Your journal keeps every catch, and an aquarium at home keeps your favourites.

12 keepers, 12 fabled giants

The keepers are the old giants of their waters, with warnings and big moves of their own. The fabled fish are rarer still.

A world of water

Lily ponds and willow creeks, snowy fjords, a desert oasis, mountain lakes, lantern-lit fens and far islands. Fix the family rowboat and sail on.

Derbies and a rival

Race other anglers in eight derbies, from the Spring Derby to the Master Cup. Juno, a young angler with a secret, is in every one of them.
