Hello everyone
it's been a while since we delivered anything for Ultimate Fishing Simulator 1 and here we are today! :)
Taupo Lake
So most of you will think it's just "another" DLC but it's not! But first things first - Taupo Lake DLC is out now and you can get it with -a 25% discount for the first 7 days (in bundle probably an even higher discount). Taupo Lake VR DLC will be released a bit later but VR should work on Taupo good (need to be tested).

This DLC is a bit different from than previous ones. We implemented new fish species and new 3D models for old fish species (ex. Rainbow trout, Koi Carp).
As we didn't want to mess with the whole game - new models are available SO FAR only at Taupo Lake.
On Taupo, there is also a new boat with boosted speed so you should be able to roam faster around the map.
