Dear players,
The new water body Ladoga Archipelago is about to appear in the game. It is the first body of water of this kind in our game. Fishing on a large body of water comes with special demands not only to the angler's skills, but also to the fishing equipment. For this reason, a new boat with a powerful engine and fish finder will be available.

After the annual awards have been handed out, the tables will be reset and await the new champions. In addition to a place in the Hall of Fame, each winner will receive a commemorative award.
