How to unlock Ice Fishing and start progressing in Deep Fishing
Unlock the destination and upgrade a catch, visit the plaza’s progression and reward stops, then equip an ice fish for sale.
Part 1 – Unlock Ice Fishing and catch an upgraded fish
Reach player Level 10
Catch fish in regular waters to raise your player rank. At Level 10, a notification announces that Ice Fishing is open.
Travel through Worlds
Select Worlds on the top bar to open Teleport, then choose the left-side Ice Fishing option. A boat cutscene takes you to the destination.
Start fishing at the central pool
Approach the ice pool in the center and press the bottom Fish button to catch a fish.
Choose whether to keep or bait
Select Keep Fish to store the catch in your inventory, or Use as Bait to attempt a higher-level fish.
Time the bait drop
Click or press Space when the bait lines up with the target ring for the highest catch chance. The initial prompt shows 90% inside, 70% outside, and 1 at risk; with Level 2 bait, the outside chance displays 49%. Baiting can fail, including when using Frost Perch.
Finish with an upgraded catch
Successful bait attempts can take you through Frost Minnow → Frost Perch → Frost Char. Each upgraded catch brings up another keep-or-bait choice.
Part 2 – Find the stages, rewards, and merchant
Visit the Stages booth
Approach the plaza’s Stages booth and use its displayed F interaction prompt to view the stage requirements.
Open Ice Rewards
Walk to the mammoth beside the Stages booth and press E to browse Ice Rewards.
Browse the Ice Merchant
Continue past the ice hole toward the Merchant booth and speak with the Ice Merchant to browse the shop.
Part 3 – Equip and sell an ice fish
Equip an ice fish
Open Items, switch to the Fish tab, and select an ice fish such as Frost Minnow. Equipping it puts the catch in your hands.
Sell the equipped catch
Approach the red Sell stall while holding your ice fish and exchange the equipped catch for Ice Shards.
Read the catch-chance display for your current bait before releasing it.
