Fly fishing, new fish species and waters, and other improvements
Almost a year has passed since the last update and it was time to bring a few improvements to the game. These are suggestions from players, but also our own ideas that could be implemented. Originally, the update was supposed to be released in spring, but a tricky new fishing method took a little more time than planned:
Fly-Fishing
In addition to float and bottom lead fishing, spinning, spoon fishing and pilk fishing, fly fishing has been completely absent up to now. Not without reason, because this fishing method is difficult to implement in games. Now, however, it is possible to fish with a fly in (almost) all waters. The choice is made at the start of each map - you can choose between 'normal' fishing or fly fishing.
This fishing method is still in its early stages and is therefore not yet available in competitions.
Bait retrieval
You can now speed up the retrieval of the bait considerably by pressing the Shift key in addition to the left mouse button!
Saving the rod setup
The setting of each individual fishing rod can be saved from this version onwards. The colour of the rod, the colour of the line, the choice of float, which lure etc. is saved by pressing 'G' and automatically set to this setting when you start the game the next day. With 'Shift+G' the setting for the rod is reset to default. This way you can permanently change any fishing rod with your favourite colours, pose and lure etc.!

Many improvements, new fish species and venues
This update brings some improvements to the game. Among other things, all maps have been revised because many fishing waters had problems with the sun in the morning and evening hours. The result is worth seeing!
On a trial basis, a subdivision of different fish species in different ponds has been implemented, which was not possible before (here in Finca Esperanza, Colombia).
Some bugs in the game statistics have been fixed. For example, there were always problems with double names such as eel and eel mother etc.
You can read about all the other changes in the game under "News / Changelog".
6 new fish species
- Bicuda - Blue Fish - Mahseer - Nelma - Skygazer - Vampire Fish

A park for visitors with several caves. However, the game is only about the small pond.
Rice Paddies(Vietnam)
Very idyllic area with realistic looking mountains in the background.
Hue Citadel (Vietnam)
A conversion from my other game "Eve of Destruction - REDUX Vietnam". Here without shooting, but with fishing possibilities. I always wanted to know what swims around in these channels.
Beaver Lake(Canada)
There are no beavers here, it is an artificial park with a pond. By the way, the swan is a pedal boat from which you can fish.
Lake Condor(Peru)
El Condor Pasa ːsteammockingː
Lake Buyan (Indonesia)
Fish farming in a large lake. Fishing is possible both in the lake and in the fish breeding ponds.

Rio Seco (Columbia)
Very murky water due to soil erosion. Nevertheless beautiful.
Rio Perquilauquen (Chile)
Small river in Chile with a ferry and a football pitch. It takes a bit of practice to kick a ball, but it is great fun to score beautiful goals ːsteammockingː. If you prefer fishing, you can of course do it on the river or on the ferry.
Donez (Ukraine)
Border river between Russia and Ukraine. In game you can see how it could work.
Finca Esperanza (Columbia)
Pond system with different fish species per pond.
House Of The Rising Sun (Cambodia)
According to the song of the same name, the house is in New Orleans, but here the sun shines so beautifully around the hut that the title simply had to be.
Namunyak (Kenya)
Fishing waters with a lot of African flair ːsteammockingː
Post10 Perpetuation in Halls Pond (USA)
Who doesn't know Post10? Be sure to search for him on YouTube and watch it! I have set up a monument to him in the map "Halls Pond". With angry beavers and idiot with an excavator ːsteammockingː
Fascinating underwater world and the deadliest stream for cars
In addition to new features, there are a few new maps in the current version.

An underwater world with many sights, various aquariums and, of course, fishing opportunities in game. However, fishing in the aquariums themselves is not possible, but there is a pool in the entrance area and sea fishing in the whale watching area!
Rufford Ford, England
A well-known route among motorists in the area runs through an often-flooded stream at Rufford Ford. On Youtube there are hundreds of videos worth watching of motorists wrecking their vehicles there, some of which are new! Fishing is available in the beautiful Rufford Lake behind the mill.
Hallig, Germany
Low tide and high tide are a special feature at this fishing water.
Bergtjaern, Sweden
A small remote pond in the wilderness of Sweden.

A very beautiful and large waterfall in Angola.
Mabwawani, Tanzania
Also in Africa is this pond site.

Fishing in Space is now possible :)
This Update fixes some minor bugs and has some minor changes. I.E. a message will pop up if you get near to usable boats. A new banchmark-tool will show you some technical data about the game and the performance.
Here are the new venues:

Angkor Wat, Thailand
Fishing directly at the world heritage site of the huge temple complex in Thailand. Whether something swims in the pond?

Ebro, Spain
This river is an insider tip for walleye anglers.
Tambre, Spain
Right next to an old power station flows the Tambre. The eels there do not tremble and the carp are not loaded either!
Penedo Furado, Portugal
Seems to be rather an Eldorado for swimmers, but in the game there is fishing allowed and bathing is prohibited ːsteammockingː
Galaxies that no human has ever seen before
Kepler-452b
Don't ask how to get there. With today's rocket technology, the journey would take 26 million years! But no problem in the game - fishing on a far away exoplanet. Since it is unknown which fish are on this planet and whether there is life there at all, the most primitive fish of the earth were used as a substitute. ːsteamhappyː

New: pilk fishing and Story-Mode

You have to complete a variety of tasks, for example catch fish for a village feast or a big catfish and even use a pilk to detonate an old aircraft bomb. There are no limits with the different stories ːsteamhappyː
At the moment the story mode is still 'experimental' because of course it hasn't been implemented for all waters yet and for later on a kind of evaluation with 'rewards' is planned. But you can already try the new mode for some waters.
Pilk fishing from a fishing boat or cutter
In addition to trolling, you can now go pilk fishing from a boat in most oceans. Pilking can be optionally selected when starting the map.
New map: Fehmarnbelt (Germany)
Try pilk fishing from a cutter on the (in Germany) famous "MS Anja", which starts from Heiligenhafen. The real ship has a slightly different name, but it looks very similar to the real one ːsteamhappyː
