Our Story

RiverCatch.info was founded in 2019 by a group of Sydney-based fishing enthusiasts who were frustrated by the lack of quality, Australia-focused reviews for fishing video games. Most review sites were based overseas and didn't account for the unique fish species, environments, and fishing culture that makes Australian angling so special.

We set out to create the definitive resource for Aussie anglers who want to enjoy fishing games that reflect their own experiences — the Murray Cod, the Barramundi, the iconic Australian riverscapes. Our reviews are written by people who actually fish, which means we can tell you whether a game's mechanics feel authentic or not.

Today, RiverCatch.info attracts over 8,500 monthly readers from across Australia and has become the go-to resource for fishing game enthusiasts in the region. We cover everything from hardcore PC simulators to casual mobile games, always with the Australian angler in mind.
