New fish generation system and AI We have revised and reworked the fish generation system and AI to make it more realistic:

• Less specific fish distribution range.
• More flexible bite charts
• Codependency within the fish ecosystem in the waterway.
• Support of the movement of fish schools.
• Consideration of interrelation between different species of coarse fish.
• More complex dependency of bites on the weather conditions.
• Water temperature indicator added
• Effect of chum on fish bites.

At the moment, this new system is functioning only on the newly added waterways, but will be implemented on all existing fishing destinations in the nearest future. Bottom fishing and Feeder fishing
We have added bottom fishing, including feeder fishing, to the game to enrich your angling experience. You can catch fish by holding the rod in hand or use special rod stands that will let you make multiple casts using a number of rods simultaneously. The rods flexible quiver tip swill show even a slight fish bite, while using an alarm bell is a sure way no to miss it. Fishing with feeder tackle will work almost anywhere, but this method is most popular in Europe, where there the white, no-predatory fish are more abundant. Crucian Carp, Bream, Tench, Common Carp, Common Barbel and many other related species are you most likely catch when feeder fishing! Fish feeding and chum
Another long awaited feature coming in this update is fish feeding and chums! How Feeding works: feeding implies providing food for a certain areas of a waterway to attract fish and keep them in that area. You just load some chum into the feeder and cast it to the desired spots. Once in the water, the chum begins to spread from the feeder over time, creating feed areas that attract fish. To maintain the high density feed area its always a good idea to make repeated casts in the same spot once in a while. Consider that various factors like the water temperature, flow direction and speed as well as the chum composition and many others affect feed area to create realistic feel of the process. Making your own chum

• Basic Mixing: you just add water to a groundbait of your choice and literally create a basic mix with a single click
• Advanced Mixing: combine various ingredients (groundbait , different chum aromas and some particles) in high precision proportions to create unique recipe that will fit your needs

Keep in mind: the right chum, when used in the right places and conditions will not only increase your fish bites, but will attract more diverse and rare fish to the feed area. There is a separate Chum slot in the inventory for all the chum ingredients: groundbaits, different chum aromas and some particles. Also you can save the recipe for all mixed chums. Multirods support
The coolest thing about bottom fishing is the possibility of using different rods simultaneously! From now on, youll no longer need to constantly switch between rods and baits, making the frustrating choice of what fish to catch first and what tackle to use. The multi-rod function will double your chances of a catch and let you enjoy a variety of fish hunting options!
We have added new fishing equipment - the Rod Stands, that will let you catch fish using multiple rods at the same time! In this update we added 10+ different kinds of Rod Stands, that mostly differ by bite alarms and their rod capacity, being capable of holding from 1 to 4 rods each. Please note, you can take only one type of rod stands to the waterway. Bottom Fishing Tackle A lot of new tackle has been added to the game for you fully enjoy new types of fishing. This includes: bottom rods, feeder rods, new reels, line leaders, open and closed feeder, bells, sinkers and new small hooks, new strong lines (mono, fluoro and braid), new super heavy casting rods and reels.
