Kawa no Nushi Tsuri is a fishing role playing game, developed by Yuu Yuu and published by Pack-In-Video. It is the first game in the "Legend of the River King" series. But it was never released outside of Japan. The game is unique in that it combines fishing with traditional JRPG elements with those of Fishing games.
