Sources and calculation method

Values come from the fishing loot tables, bait, pole and perk definitions in this NW Buddy game-data snapshot. Saved results retain this dataset.

ClampMax raises the minimum roll while keeping the maximum fixed. Each probability is the remaining width of a loot band divided by the remaining roll range. Open water uses 100,000 points; hotspots use 400,000. Percentages are estimates using interval widths. Special quest and event catches are excluded.

Amazon's Season 5 cooking update confirms a change to fishing luck. Advice in the Season 2 videos and launch-era maps needs to be checked against the later tables.

TamToucan's loot and luck analysis explains the ClampMax model. The calculator derives its percentages from the tables.
