Fishing in Appalachia Guides

---

Once you’ve started fishing in Appalachia, you’ll quickly find yourself with piles of fish—and no clear use for them beyond displaying or cooking. But tucked away near the pier is Linda-Lee, and it turns out she’s got a legendary appetite.

To get started, you’ll need to collect Fish Bits. These are crafted items made from the fish you catch across Appalachia. After reeling one in, head to any cooking station. There, you’ll be able to break the fish down into either Fish Bits or Glowing Fish Bits, depending on the species. Don't forget to equip the Super Duper Perk Card under Luck.

Fish Type	Fish Bit Yield
Small Fish	1 Fish Bit
Medium Fish	2 Fish Bits
Large Fish	5 Fish Bits
Glowing Small Fish	2 Fish Bits
Glowing Medium Fish	4 Fish Bits
Glowing Large Fish	10 Fish Bits
Local Legends	25 Fish Bits
Axolotl	25 Fish Bits

It’s worth noting that Fish Bits spoil over time—just like cooked food. If you’re not turning them in right away, stash them in a Cryo Freezer or Fridge to keep them fresh.

Once you’ve cooked some Bits, head over to Linda-Lee’s Chum Trough.

When you interact with the trough, you’ll be prompted to choose either 5, 10, 25, or All your Fish Bits or Glowing Fish Bits, depending on what you’re carrying. If you’re holding both, you’ll need to interact twice—once for each type.

Each time you hit 25 Bits, one random item is selected from a legendary reward list and deposited in your inventory. If you feed less than 25 Bits, the game saves your progress until you reach the next full set.

This system has no daily limit. You can feed 25 Bits today, 100 tomorrow, or 5 here and there across multiple days—it all adds up. For example:

• Feed 5 Bits, five times = 25 total → 1 reward

• Feed 47 Bits = 1 reward, with 22 value saved toward your next one

• Feed 100 Bits = 4 rewards

Progress is tracked individually per player, not per world. It’s not a group effort, and no one else can interfere with your contributions.

Legendary Item drop rates:

Reward Type	Chance
1★ Melee Weapon	8.333%
2★ Melee Weapon	8.333%
3★ Melee Weapon	8.333%
1★ Ranged Weapon	8.333%
2★ Ranged Weapon	8.333%
3★ Ranged Weapon	8.333%
1★ Body Armor	12.5%
2★ Body Armor	12.5%
3★ Body Armor	12.5%
1★ Power Armor	4.167%
2★ Power Armor	4.167%
3★ Power Armor	4.167%

Linda-Lee’s Chum Trough is a reliable and repeatable way to turn your fishing into legendary loot. There’s no daily cap, no expiration on your progress, and no penalty for feeding in small chunks. The system is built around your cumulative effort, and as long as you keep fishing, you’ll keep getting rewarded.

Hey there, I'm Kat, also known as Duchess!

I'm an Aussie data miner who creates guides for farming, events, and food buffs in Fallout 76.

I firmly believe that knowledge should be accessible to everyone, so my guides will always be free. However, maintaining a website and using photo and video editing software can be costly.

Every bit of support helps cover the costs of creating these guides and maybe even gets me a cup of coffee or three ;)

Thanks for your support!
