Default [RRS] Fly Fishing

Hi guys, i remembered that a used to play a game called "Fly Fishing". First you had to select a season of the year to start fishing. Then with the mouse you can select where to send the bait. When a fish was near you had to click so it eats the bait. Finally you must maintain pressed left click to pull the fish in (but with care because you might loose the fish) and, when it is in close range, right click to catch the fish.

I still have the cd-rom where it came (i think the magazine's name is "CD-Rom Today". Other games in it are Gene Wars, Syndicate Wars, Screamer 2, Swiv...Carmen San Diego xd)

I want to know if someone remember this game or has the full version because Google didn't help me.

Hard to find, even MobyGames doesn't list it... any of those?

Just in case: You did notice that the first link describes more than just one game?

I have here a magazine CD-ROM Today which has Syndicate Wars. Other programs are:
MDK, Blade Warriro, Crocodile Clips, Warcraft II, Diablo, Deadlock, KKND, Orly, Cybertation, Pomism, Soccer.
None of those looks like a fishing game, and they don't match your list, so I guess I have a variation from another country.
In its pages there is, however, a picture of Trophy Bass 2. It might fit. I have played it a bit, I had a demo from another magazine.

EDIT: I have just thought, are you asking if anyone else played that particular game called "Fly Fishing"? I think it's more common here when people don't know the name of the game.

EDIT2: just checked, there was Trophy Bass 2 on a previous link, just ignore, I'll be on my way.

If it involved a mouse, were there a whole bunch of buttons on screen to click on?

Like, was there a button that actually said "Set Hook"?
