Ice Fishing

How to Play Ice Fishing You'll start off in front of a perfectly drilled hole and a fishing hook dangling just above, ready for you to add bait and wait for the catch of the day. Your rod has a hand-cranked reel, and you can reel in or out using the reel icons on the side. Arrows indicate up or down. Move your rod up and down to attract fish best, or you are likely to have your bait eaten and will have to replace it. Once your bait attracts fish, you will get a signal and need to reel up. If you pull too much, you may break the string. There is a barometer indicating what too much is, so be sure not to exceed your pull into red territory. Your catch will remain on the ice as you continue fishing. Keep going in the spot you're in and if you run out of luck, move on to explore new territory. In the game, you need to catch fish on the ice. To catch a fish, you need to perform the following actions: Put bait on the hook
Lower the hook into the water to the required depth by unwinding the reel with the fishing line on the rod.
Choose the appropriate depth for the hook with bait, as different fish species live at different depths.
Tease the fish by raising and lowering the rod.
When you see the rod tip move, the fish has taken the bait - strike quickly by sharply lifting the rod.
Start reeling in the fish, winding the line onto the reel, and monitoring its tension.
If you reel too fast or too slow, the fish may come off the hook
Get the fish out of the water
Stand up and find a new spot for fishing
Drill a new hole and start fishing again

Blue boilers Fish You Can Catch in Ice Fishing The fish you can catch is directly associated with the type of bait you use. You can never catch a Brown Trout, worth $520, with bloodworms, but you can catch a Ruff, worth $10, with bloodworms. The only way to access more bait is to fish as much as you can to get upgrades with your earnings from the shop. Some fish are worth more; here is the bait that can catch them. This is not an exhaustive list, but it will give you an idea of the variety available in this game. Carp: $80 Bait: Bloodworms, larvae and corn

The same goes for the drill. You can't expect to fish a 172-pound Cobia that lives at depths of 1640 feet with the basic equipment and bait you start the game with. Note that you can also change fishing spots and locations, which gives you more variety in the type of fish you can catch, so definitely explore these options. Happy Fishing!
