Windows 8, 10 App Check: Field & Stream Fishing

Fishing is a fine sport and one that I admire and even practice, albeit not as much as I’d like to. So, if you want to do some fishing straight on your Windows 8 tablet, you need the right app or game to do it. We have a look at Microsoft’s Field & Stream Fishing game.
From all the available Windows 8 fishing apps and games in the Windows Store, Field & Stream Fishing stands out as the best of them, obviously because it’s made by the Microsoft Studios. The full version of the game is available for $4.99 but you can use the free trial, as well, to see whether this fishing game is of real interest to you or not (link at the end). Field & Stream Fishing can be played on your Windows 8 tablet or other Windows 8 desktop device, as it supports both touch screen controls, as well as keyboard and mouse input.
