How to Increase Pogfish Catch Rates In Skyrim
If you don’t want to completely skip the challenge of catching a Pogfish but want to increase your chances, here’s what you can do:
- Fish for it in rivers, not streams, lakes, or ponds. You can find them anywhere, but rivers have the highest chance of spawning a Pogfish. The book about fishing you can find in the game also says that Pogfish can be found in the rivers of the Reach specifically, so the chances are a little bit higher there, too.
- Use a regular fishing rod. Pogfish are large fish, which means that a regular rod will increase the chances of catching them.
- Fish for it in fair weather. There is a chance you’ll catch one when it is raining, too, but fair weather increases that chance.
- Crabber’s Shanty, Riverwood, and Old Hroldan are some spots you should try out to increase your chances.
