Trophy Bass II is fun. It has walleye on it and several different lakes to choose from to fish. We used to have online tournaments a couple years back here at WC, but I don't think anyone has taken over as the coordinator since Lorrie Schaefer got to busy to keep them going. They used to be a lot of fun. We had around a dozen people who met up on Thursday nights to fish against each other. I really stunk at it....lol computer games are not my strong suit.
I remember getting my copy of it at Best Buy.

If you're looking for kid-type games, I've been putting a few together for the Walleyes Unlimited website. A java-enabled computer is pretty much required and many are not Netscape-friendly.
Some are at:

My favorite is the Fish-Tac-Toe. My walleye keeps getting beat by that darn northern pike. -- mark

my bad, that is shockwave.com
I produce computer games for a living, and have been doing fishing and hunting games in the past - most notably Deer Hunter series...
Anyway, this is not in the way of spam, but here are my recommendations for fishing games since the question was asked:
Trophy Bass 5 - I didn't produce this one, but it is a great game.
FLW Bass Tournament 2000 - available only at Walmart. I even got to fish as an observer in an FLW event on Lake Okeechobee, and being a non-pro, that was a lot of fun. This game has great graphics, the best boat driving and the closest to real life locators, etc. You can pick this one up pretty cheap, as it is a couple years old. It does have walleye, sauger, muskie, pike and all the bass species. The lakes use actual USGS data, so are very accurate.
Older Trophy Bass games are also ok, and cheap.
EA's game is ok, but not that great.
If you want any advice on hunting games, let me know - I know all of them like the back of my hand :) I produced about 2 dozen hunting and fishing games.
