Ice Fishing Derby 2

Plan your day on the ice, pick your gear, and try to out-fish the field in Ice Fishing Derby 2, a 3D ice fishing game that mixes realistic tactics with fast, gamified fishing. Manage your money, equipment, and body heat across multi-day derbies or relax in free fishing mode and explore frozen lakes at your own pace. Three ways to hit the ice: • Free Fishing – Keep your equipment from trip to trip, pick a lake, and fish without a weigh-in timer. Catch fish to earn gems and unlock better free-fishing gear over time. • Open Derbies – Everyone starts each 5-day event with limited shop credit and basic gear. Choose what to buy, find productive spots, and try to build up to trophy-class fish before the derby ends. • Pro Derbies – Unlock Pro and head to more lakes and fish for more species of fish. Start with more credit, access higher-end equipment, and drive a snowmobile to manually explore the lake and choose your own spots. Plan, adapt, and stay warm Before each derby day you’ll start in Kate’s bait shop with a small budget and a wall of tempting gear. Decide what matters most today: a stronger rod, a bigger auger, electronics, or extra bait and cocoa for the cold. Some items go on sale, so the “right” choice can change from day to day. Out on the ice you can: • Drill holes and set up your shanty to cut the wind • Jig your bait or lures to attract fish without spooking them • Use sonar or an underwater camera (when you can afford them) to read the water and find the best depth and species • Move to new spots when the bite slows, trading precious time for a chance at better fish You’ll get warnings as your character cools down, and you can drink cocoa, use heaters, or move around to warm up. Ignore the cold for too long and your day – or your derby – can end in a darkly comic way. Lifelike fish and 3D lakes Fish behave differently by species, size, and depth. Perch and walleye hug the bottom, crappie and trout suspend higher, and predators like pike or muskies ma
