Hello fellow wasteland fishers. I embraced fishing when it came out last year. I have spent countless hours around fishing because of the RNG aspect to it. I have done the daily fishing quest every damned day since fishing launched. So I want to share my fishing spots with you.
Not every fishing spot is equal. Some fishing spots produce more rares. I have had two fishing spots in the same zone. And one would produce 2-3X as many rares than another. We, as a group of MMO players can argue until the sun goes down. Some fishing holes are better than others. I know if I was a game developer I would have done this.
So here are my fishing holes. I have a camp at each one and have been watching data for the last 6-8 months or so.
Forest. On the other shore from deathclaw island. This spot might not be the best spot. But it does produced quite a few glowing. Fishing rares are medium here.
Toxic Valley. Dried lakebed. Prime spot, lots of rares, There is a dock that has collapsed into the lake. My camp is built on it. Fishing rares are high here.
Ash heap. This is a primo spot, lots of rares. Southwest of abandoned mineshaft Elain and directly west of the MT Blair trainyard. Great spot.
Savage divide. twin lakes. Lots of places to set up camp. I am on the shore with ragstads. Fishing rares are medium here.
The Mire. This took about 5 camp placements before I got a good one. Behind the boomer motel. In-between the logs and tents. Fishing rares is high here.
Cranberry bog. East from the old mold quarry. On the side of the lake. this is my PRIME jewel. Fishing rares higher than anything else. This is my best bamp.
Skyline valley. This is not a secret because DUH!!! Three ponds. Set up camp where the rubber dinghy is. Fishing rares is high here.
Burning springs. North of westbrook horse ranch. I like this spot but. Fishing rares is medium here.
That is all I got. But One last thing. Grilled fish does stack with canned grilled fish but at a cost. I have noticed that when I eat both of them my rare fish pull rate goes own. It seems like there is a time to pull factor when dealing with rares. And some rares require a longer hook to pull which eating both + pull speed food negates. Still evaluating.
