What sound effects does a fishing game need?
Build the sound list around the play cycle: preparing bait, casting, waiting, detecting a bite, setting the hook, fighting the fish and landing or losing it. Add reel and line sounds that respond to strain, fish splashes and body movement, tackle and boat foley, shore wildlife, water ambience and interface cues for catches, failures and inventory. Distinct sounds at each stage let the player understand the line without watching one meter constantly.
How should reel and water sounds work in the engine?
Use a steady reel or water bed as a loop, then place bursts, drag strain and splashes above it as one-shots. In Unity, play the bed on an AudioSource with Loop enabled. In Unreal, enable Looping on the Sound Wave and use a Sound Cue or MetaSounds for responsive layers. In Godot 4, set WAV import Loop Mode for the bed and play it through AudioStreamPlayer, AudioStreamPlayer2D or AudioStreamPlayer3D according to whether it belongs to the listener or the world.

Four filenames are marked as loops, including boat creak, reel retrieve, river flow and water lap. Both fishing packs are uncompressed 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo WAV, royalty-free, need no attribution and cannot be resold or redistributed on their own.
