Anglers Pond

 is a new mini game in FarmVille. It was originally released on December 4th, 2012. It's free for access and you can find it on your home farm down in the bottom corner. You will be transferred over to the new anglers pond where you can fish, collect items for rewards and more.

At this time the only collections that can be completed without using Farm Cash are the Basic Collection and the Boot Collection. All others require a separate Rod (Trout, Bass and Salmon) in order to catch those specific fish.

Free Bait does come around, but it is like energy in that you get a new piece every 15 minutes or so. All in all not too bad, but they are gonna putting the screws to you for the other collections. With no visible way to work towards a free fishing rod, it is unclear if those will be free at some point.
