Where's all the roe?

So I saved fish yesterday for my enlightened stage of playing to skin and caught around 200 today. So roughly 340 fish. Not 1 damn roe! I got roughly 3 a day from 200 fish for the past 2 weeks and now not a sausage.

Did the drop rate get lowered yet again or am I missing something.

    Random RNG is Random.
    I used to get like 1 or 2 Perfect Roe 's every 50 or so fish. But then I apparently lost the favor of RNGesus and now i spend weeks fishing and get one.

    I don't have any complaints, really, i actually find RNG amusing
    ... Mai cave. >:3

    It's all RNG. Just because you didn't receive any from 340 fish doesn't mean the drop rate got lowered. 340 fish is such a small sample to even make such a claim.

    Doesn't matter. Your results from your bunch of 200 from yesterday and 200 from the day before etc. is independent of what you will receive today.

    For instance,
    mon - 200 fish, 4 roe
    tue - 300 fish, 1 roe
    wednesday - 180 fish, 3 roe
    thursday - 340 fish, no roe.

    THIS doesn't mean it got nerf. It's all random


    EDIT: You cannot expect to get a few roes from skinning around 200 fish. It is all random; sometimes it will randomly appear after 500. That's how random works

    I've gone over 600 fish a number of times with no roe, and other times gotten three within 50 fish - but for me it pretty much seems to average out somewhere between 100-150 fish per roe.

    So... another "I did X and got Y last time, now X won't give me Y" thread. At least 1 of these daily. Tin foil hats must be on sale.

    Yeah I got 7 this morning for sale.

    It's a genuine question. No need to be smart about it.

    Humans are programmed to see patterns where none exist, RNG really messes with our lizard brains.
