Winter Ice-Fishing

Snow's falling again. Some unfamiliar fish seem to have shown up near the Winter Cabin.

Behind the nearby forest, an ice hole has been opened. Let's try out the new rods there!

Fishing alone doesn't have to be so lonely, so bring a radio along.

It seems an Aquarium has been built somewhere, but where exactly...?
