Does How to Fish have full controller support on PC?

Yes, How to Fish supports Xbox, PlayStation DualShock/DualSense, and generic Steam Input gamepads. You can enable Steam Input in Steam Game Properties > Controller > Enable Steam Input.

How do you cast and reel in fish using PC keyboard controls?

Hold Left Mouse Button (LMB) to charge your cast distance, then release. Once a fish bites, tap or hold Right Mouse Button (RMB) to reel in while balancing tension to avoid snapping your line.
