Ice Fishing Simulator

Ice Fishing Simulator is a relaxed incremental fishing game developed by WildGuest Games. Players drill ice holes on a frozen lake, catch fish, sell them at the fish market for Coins, and upgrade rods, coolers, and automated poles for increasingly passive income. Created in August 2023 and receiving a March 2026 update confirming active development, the game has accumulated 57 million visits and 137K favorites with a steady 400-1,000 concurrent player count. The Fishdex - an in-game collectible fish catalog - and stat-boosting furnishings add collection and customization depth to the otherwise pure idle loop.

The progression path is built around upgrading toward full automation and stacking social bonuses:

• 💰 Drill an ice hole, cast a line, fill your cooler with fish, and sell at the fish market for Coins
• 💰 Upgrade fishing rods to improve fish rarity and sell value - the most impactful spending decision at every stage
• 💎 Unlock auto-sell coolers to automatically sell fish as they are caught, eliminating manual market trips
• 💎 Add automated fishing poles that fish without player input, enabling genuine AFK progression
• 🎭 Earn a 10% Coin bonus for having a friend in your server, plus another 10% for WildGuest Games group membership (20% total)
• 🏠 Place functional furnishings around your ice camp - some provide passive fishing stat buffs rather than being purely cosmetic

Gems are the premium currency used for high-tier gear and faster progression. The Fishdex documents every fish species catchable in the game, and the 207-page Fandom wiki at ice-fishing-simulator.fandom.com tracks all areas, fish, and shop items in detail. For a different take on Roblox fishing, Fisch offers open-world exploration across multiple biomes.
