Hello anglers,

Today we will share more information in regards of who we will meet at the new water body - Ladoga lake.
First, meet the Three-spined stickleback - this is a small, fun to catch fish species from Gasterosteidae family.


Ladoga is home to many Coregonus species, also known as whitefishes. One of the new such species is Valaam Whitefish


And last but not least for today is the biggest occupant of the lake - Baltic Sturgeon.


That is it for now.
Tight lines!

Friends,

With the upcoming update we will introduce SPOD rods series. These are well known tools for anyone who has ever fished carp species. SPOD rods are very powerful rods designed for precise delivery of groundbait at specific fishing spots far away.


For more comfortable use of these rods, players will be able to use them as a fourth rod.

Besides the SPOD rods we will be implementing clipping the line to the spool. This function should provide with better accuracy while casting.

Additions described above will provide more comfort and effectiveness to carp anglers and players targeting non-predatory species.

This is all for todays news.
Tight lines!

As the excitement from the last update settles down it is time to look forward to what awaits Russian Fishing 4 in the near future.
We hear many questions from our players regarding new reels. When they’ll be introduced? What kind of reels? How they’ll perform compared to others? Next update will introduce a new reel manufacturer – Beluga. Reels from this manufacturer will include different spinning and casting models. And today we are featuring one of the reels that are coming with the next update – Beluga Venga 10000.



The most complete range of Beluga reels will be available at the manufacturer store. And the store will be opened at the new water body that will also be a part of the next update. Ladoga lake – is the water body that will be introduced in the upcoming update. It is an extensive territory, with many different features and places to fish for many species that you already familiar with and quite a few new ones.

This is by far just a small part of what awaits you with the next update. And meanwhile, we will continue to introduce you to the new content.
