fishing chances

[SirCicikus]

today i crafted primitive casting rod and crafted bunch of feather flys so i can catch plaice.But even tough my will is 30 and survival is 20 i cant catch a thing . the chance of catching the fish i wanted is lover than %5 i only catched 2 fishes out of 20 lures. Im a doing something wrong ? https://imgur.com/a/nkH4LXx ( im using amber client)

and another question why the heck not lures getting auto replaced

Probably in the wrong location. Fishing is just like real estate: location, location, location. The location could be fished out. It could be that the fish you want doesn't occur there.

or all nodes around you just suck balls, the ingame time is wrong or your gear sucks

if you have xp spare i'd suggest to chant prayer for a catch. should make your 5% somewhat of 20% or so

Change your string, lure, and hook until the number on the right equals 100%. you're using the wrong equipment. To change the number on the left, move to different areas of your fishing node, or find a different fishing node all together.

Fishing normally works this way when fishing with bait and a bushcraft fishing pole, if you notice how many times it ticks down with no fish caught.

Your lures won't automatically replace because it isn't gone unless you specifically lose it, which is unfortunate but it happens and you will have to place a new one. It's this way because if you're losing your lure frequently that means you're likely using the wrong type of lure, and should try a different one.

Can confirm with jackwolf. Number on the right is fishing node presence, depletion, moon cycle impacted. The number on the right is your tackle combination for that fish. Once you figure out the fish's tackle preference, wander around looking for the number on the left to go up (find the node's center).

edit your post, can't be both on the right

This should probably be on the wiki.

Just to make sure I get it down right--

Left value--Fish presence: The amount of this type of fish in the node. It can be low for one of several reasons:

• bad location/node, try elsewhere--another node, deep or shallow water, river or lake;
• fished out, try elsewhere or let the node replenish;
• wrong time of day or lunar cycle, try another time (though another node may still have the fish you want).

Right value--gear match: Try different lures, hooks, and strings to get this as high as possible. And according to jorb, quality can matter.

The only change i'd say is that the left value % also changes within the same node. In one section of a node I've found pike at 86%, but at the other end of the same consecutive node has been as low as 11%.'

Though if it caps low then it may be best just to find a different node.

Sure. I figure it's about like looking for a specific stone type in mountains by digging. As you move along qualities move up and down, and you cross a line and the type changes along with a big jump in the quality, either up or down.
