Fishing in Appalachia Guides
Pip-Boy Daily
Daily: Big Fish in a Small Pond
Head to Fisherman's Rest and speak to Captain Raymond to start the Pip-Boy Daily.

Captain Raymond and the Fisherman will assign you to a specific region and ask you to catch 7 fish from that region.

You don’t need to fish at the exact marked location—anywhere within the assigned region counts, and it doesn’t matter which fish you catch as long as you catch seven total.

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.
If you find my guides useful, here are a few ways you can support me:
- Share My Guides: Help your fellow vault dwellers by sharing my guides.
- Follow Me on Social Media: Keep up with my latest updates by following me on social media.
- One-Time Donation: Buy me a coffee.
- Monthly Contribution: Become a regular supporter by subscribing to my Ko-fi page.
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!
