Hello Anglers!

We are thrilled to announce that the MLF: Pro Catch Demo will officially launch on Monday, June 15th at 14:00 (2:00 PM)! We have been working hard to bring the authentic Major League Fishing experience to life, and we cannot wait for you to get your hands on it. Whether you prefer to fish solo and enjoy the sounds of nature, or squad up with friends in multiplayer, there is plenty of water to cover.

What to Expect in the Demo

To give you a proper feel for the game, the demo includes a solid variety of mechanics, gear, and features for you to test:

  • 1 Map - Visit Sturgeon Bay and catch iconic fish!

  • Singleplayer & Multiplayer Modes

  • Boating & Trolling – Buy, place & drive a motorboat to explore the bay, or set up for some trolling.

  • Core Fishing Mechanics – Spinning and Casting setups.

  • Authentic Branded Gear – Real-life rods, reels, lines, lures, and boats from top brands.

  • Dynamic Weather & Day/Night Cycle – Adapt to changing conditions and see how the fish react to the time of day and shifting weather.

  • Underwater Camera – Optional feature! Get a closer look at the action below the surface and watch how fish interact with your lures.

  • Gamepad Support – Sit back and fish comfortably with your favorite controller.

Explore Sturgeon Bay

For this demo, we are giving you access to one of our favorite locations: Sturgeon Bay.

Located where Green Bay meets Lake Michigan, this sprawling waterway blends maritime charm with natural beauty. Navigate through bustling ports and marinas lined with boat slips, or cast your line right off the wooden piers.

Beyond the harbor, you will discover rocky shorelines and shallow bays packed with dense reeds. While famous for its trophy Smallmouth Bass and massive Walleye, these waters offer diverse structure for endless exploration for any angler.

Sturgeon Bay is teeming with life. In the demo, you will be able to target 15 species of fish, including: Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Lake Sturgeon, Black Crappie, Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Black Bullhead, Yellow Perch, Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Muskellunge, Northern Pike, and Common Carp.

We Need Your Feedback!

Please keep in mind that this is still a demo, and the game is actively in development. You might find that some things are still a bit rough around the edges. We would be highly grateful for your feedback, bug reports, and overall thoughts. Sharing your experience helps us tweak, balance, and polish everything regularly before the full launch.

Be sure to jump into our Steam Discussions or our Discord server to let us know what you think!

Tight lines, and we will see you on the water on June 15th!
