Head over to the Ski Lodge to find the Ice Fishing game. Click on the door that has the sign "Gone Fishing". Now the fun begins! The goal of the game is to catch as many fish as you can. You'll have a can of worms to use for bait.
To catch the fish, make sure you have a worm on your line, then just lower the line by dragging your mouse down in to the water. Drop the line so that the worm is in front of the fish. The fish will automatically get caught if you manage to catch them with your bait. Then just drag your mouse back up to bring the fish out of the water. Left click once your fish is out of the water and it will be added to your pile of caught fish. If you run out of worms, don't worry, you'll have chances to catch a can of worms or two while you are fishing.


There are four stages in the game. The first stage all you need to do is avoid the barrels. If you hit them while you have a fish hooked, it will knock the fish off the hook and it swims away.The second stage adds sharks and boots. The boots will knock your fish off the line just like the barrels. The shark will eat your bait. The third stage adds jellyfish to the waters. If a jellyfish hits your line, it will be electrocuted. Not only will your bait get fried, but so do you!
The fourth stage adds crabs. There are two crabs that appear, one from each side of the ice hole. They will snip off your line with their claws. When you reach the end of the fourth stage, pay close attention to the water. You'll see a fish off in the distance that is swimming toward you. You'll need special bait to catch this one.
Keep catching fish while you wait for the big fish to get closer but be careful, don't add any fish to your pile until you make sure you have another little fish to catch. If you have a fish on your hook and the big fish appears close on your screen, watch as the big fish opens his mouth to take the special bait.
If you manage to catch this last fish you'll get a bonus!
