Ice Fishing Derby 2 offers an immersive 3D ice fishing experience that combines realistic tactics with fast-paced, gamified fishing action. Plan your day on the ice by selecting the right gear, manage your money and body heat, and compete to out-fish others in exciting ice fishing derbies set across beautifully rendered frozen lakes.
Choose from three engaging modes to enjoy your fishing adventure:
- Free Fishing – Keep your equipment between trips, pick your favorite lake, and fish without time constraints. Catch fish to earn gems and unlock superior free-fishing gear over time.
- Open Derbies – Join competitive 5-day events starting with limited shop credits and basic gear. Strategically purchase equipment, find productive fishing spots, and aim for trophy-class fish before the derby concludes.
- Pro Derbies – Unlock Pro mode to access additional lakes and more fish species. Begin with greater credits, high-end gear, and the ability to drive a snowmobile to manually explore lakes and choose prime fishing locations.
Before each derby day, visit Kate’s bait shop with a modest budget and a wide selection of tempting gear. Your decisions are critical: whether to invest in a stronger rod, a bigger auger, advanced electronics, or extra bait and cocoa to stay warm. Special sales mean the optimal choice can vary daily, adding a strategic layer to your preparation.
Once on the ice, you can:
- Drill holes and set up your shanty to shield yourself from the wind
- Jig bait or lures carefully to attract fish without spooking them
- Utilize sonar or underwater cameras (when affordable) to locate optimal depths and fish species
- Move to new spots if bites slow down, balancing time against potential bigger catches
Your character must also manage body heat. Receive warnings as you cool down, and drink cocoa, use heaters, or move around to stay warm. Ignore the cold too long, and your day—or derby—may end humorously in a chilly mishap.
Lifelike Fish and 3D Lakes
Each fish species behaves uniquely according to size and preferred depth. For example, perch and walleye tend to stay near the bottom, crappie and trout suspend higher, while predators like pike or muskies actively patrol seeking prey. Larger fish demand stronger rods and bigger holes, and you'll experience realistic line tension during fights.
- Explore 3D lakes featuring varied shorelines and underwater structures
- Adapt to dynamic weather conditions including falling snow and progressively colder, windier days during derbies
- Fish in multiple lakes targeting diverse species such as panfish, perch, walleye, pike, bass, trout, and more
- Encounter NPC anglers and on-ice events that offer trade opportunities, new spots, and surprising challenges affecting your strategy
Fair Competition and Progression
Derbies are designed to ensure fair competition by providing every participant with gear earned for that event rather than a lifetime collection. This levels the playing field and focuses the challenge on quickly converting early catches into upgraded equipment and ultimately landing the biggest, most valuable fish.
- Compete against other players fishing under identical lake and weather conditions
- Earn gem rewards for each caught fish in Free Fishing and for overall derby performance
- Track and compare your progress and achievements across multiple derbies and lakes
Free to Play with Optional Upgrades
Ice Fishing Derby 2 is free to download and play. While the core game offers extensive content, optional upgrades enhance your experience:
- Lake Pass unlocks all 22 lakes for free fishing and allows free exploration on foot
- Derby Pro unlocks all Lake Pass content plus Pro Derbies and snowmobile exploration for both Pro Derbies and Free Fishing
- Gems are earned through gameplay and can also be used to unlock permanent free-fishing equipment
Whether you prefer a thoughtful, strategic ice fishing simulation or a fast, thrilling session chasing one more trophy fish before time runs out, Ice Fishing Derby 2 delivers an authentic and entertaining tournament ice fishing experience right on your iOS device.
