No new ice fishing at Bricklayer's Retreat?

[spessman]

It's a very pretty spot and I was kinda disappointed to see that the new ice-hole-cutting mechanic wasn't enabled there. I guess it got overlooked or forgotten during the new update.

Or maybe it was intentional, it's hard to tell without knowing where it's supposed to work. But this would be a nice spot to enable it.

Good job to the devs for all the work lately, by the way. This update might have bugs but I was surprised to see how quickly they made it work.

There's also no icefishing mechanic near Hunter's Lodge in Broken Railroad. What places actually do work for ice fishing though? That don't already have a hut.

Well, my Interloper character are surviving from fishing in CH at two (in game) months, using the "fishing tip" device- two at time.

Seems like you can only make holes in ice that has fishing huts. Couldn't place any around Vacant Depot either.

Seems the case, in that big pound at right of FA main hangar can't make fishing hole too.

Curious, because in HL trailer they place fishing holes in the small Unnamed Pound (ML).

EDIT - Confirmed that is enabled in Unnamed Pound, anyway not good idea fishing there in interloper:

In Pleasant Valley I located five spots of "suitable ice" on the "main" river that runs from Thomson's Crossing to Long Curve.

Three of the spots were at the junctions of the "main" river with the tributary that flows from the Lower Falls or the tributary that comes from the Misty Falls Picnic area. The other two segments were further downstream. The easiest one to find would be located around the curve in the river at the Long Curve as it turns towards the transition to Keeper's Pass South. The other one is a bit upstream from this one. A PV bear paths through between these two segments, more or less.

I had thought that the junction of the river with the side stream where the waterfall near Three Strikes would be another spot but nope.

I was actually able to make holes in Winding River and Broken Railroad.

I am not too hopeful with Blackrock Mountain. The main river is open water and with the insta-death drowning hazard not too inviting. The river chasm that bisects the region has not yielded any spots of suitable ice (yet).

It's good to know that that is not the case. Still most ice that would be deep enough seem to already have a hut. There are some really good places in the game that would benefit greatly from an ice hole, but the ice isn't "deep" enough.

I wonder if around Anglers Den would be deep enough? Would better than trekking to the hut all the time.

Could do with a thread with some good locations if there already isn't one.

I can't post a confirming screenshot atm, but the river junction near the Angler's den in AC is indeed eligible for the fishing hole. I had to walk about 15 - 20 meters away from the hut towards deeper water, but it worked.
