Our latest update for Fishing Sim World is now available across all platforms. This is another significant release with the highlight being a fully functioning trolling motor on all boats for you to use. Other key improvements include a new species of fish, the zander being added to the Grand Union Canal with two trophy zander being able to be caught from this venue. Also, there are 3 new, bigger trophy catfish to be able to be caught from Waldsee. Finally, resistance to the movement of the rod has been added whilst playing a fish. The tighter the line tension, the slower you will be able to raise the rod in the fight giving feedback as to the weight of the fish you are playing.

Any chance this update will fix no boss fish showing when I catch them Waldsee either by name on screen at the time or in the trophy fish section from the menu?
You guys are doing a great job. I highly recommend looking into my 2 posts regarding further ideas the game needs. I absolutey cannot wait for the new lakes. Already bought the lake pass. Im depending on this game for the hard winter months ahead of me cant wait to get home and update my game ive beend dying for a trolling motor bravo guys
You guys did a great job with the trolling motor. NOW we're bass fishing! Game changer. Keep up the good work!
Good update, keep the improvements coming Dovetail. I would like to see the bite rate increased for Gigantica and more Pond lakes (Not from Euro) released in the future.
I think the trolling addition has improved the challenge for us game players. Very frustrating that you cant change camera angle whilst hooked on, so you are trawling blind.. the same issue exists when you hook a fish on the edge of a lake.. is this likely to improve any time soon??
Fantastic job DTG, thanks for all the time you’ve put into the game and updates! Thanks for the Trolling Motor!! Game is great!!
Will there be a fix that makes the trolling motor actually turn in the next update? No big deal but kind of become an eye sorr
