Fishing Experiment (and results)

[hozz1235]

I wanted to answer the question, "Does the zone you are fishing in affect your catch rate?"  

I fished in the following zones, 30 times in 7-hour increments for a total of 210 hours of fishing.  My fishing level is 5 and Fish Spawn Chance = Medium.

The average fish caught per hour are:

TWM .743
AC 1.05
BR .769
PV .799
BI .817
CH .812
ML .788

Overall, the rates seem pretty close - exception being AC, which was significantly higher.  Perhaps my sample set was too small.  I intend to go back to AC and see if the rate is consistent with my findings.

Either Broken Railroad or Blackrock i think.

Yes, does BR mean the hut in Keeper's Pass South (transition zone)?

It would have to be, given that there's no fishing hut in Blackrock or Broken Railroad. The closest match would be Keeper's Pass South.

That's what I meant in asking the question. My brain was saying "but you can't fish in Broken Railroad or Blackrock"

(alltho' I truly wish you could)

Yes.

I did another 210 hours in AC to verify my results and the average fish per hour was 1.01 which confirms the significant deviation from other zones.

Cool experiment. 
Confirms my preference of AC (upper level) as a great, trouble free  vacation or retirement zone. Best fishing in all of Great Bear easily accessible.
