Ice Fishing Derby 2

About

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 may cruise through looking for a meal. Stronger rods and larger holes are required for bigger fish, and careful control of line tension makes the fight feel more like the real thing. • 3D lakes with varied shorelines and structure • Dynamic weather with falling snow and colder, windier days as derbies progress • Multiple lakes and species including panfish, perch, walleye, pike, bass, trout and more on different waters • NPC anglers and on-ice events – Other anglers may walk up with trade offers, new spots, and other surprises that can help or hurt your plans Fair competition & progression Derbies are designed so everyone earns their gear for that event. You start with shop credit, not a lifetime collection of items, so experienced players don’t bring years of upgrades into a new derby. The challenge is how quickly you can turn early-day catches into better equipment and, eventually, the biggest and most valuable fish. • Compete against results from other players under the same lake and weather conditions • Gem payouts for each fish in Free Fishing and for Derby results • Track your performance across multiple derbies and lakes Free to play with optional upgrades Ice Fishing Derby 2 is free to download and play. • Lake Pass unlocks all 22 lakes for free fishing and free exploration on foot • Derby Pro unlocks everything in the Lake Pass, plus Pro Derbies, plus snowmobile exploration for Pro Derbies and Free Fishing • Gems can be earned by playing or purchased, and are used to unlock lasting free-fishing equipment Whether you want a thoughtful fishing sim with real decisions or a quick session trying to squeeze one more trophy walleye in before the clock hits zero, Ice Fishing Derby 2 brings the feel of tournament ice fishing to your phone or tablet.
