Out of the 24 fish I caught before giving up: 12 blobfin, 10 cucumbers, 2 leech. At one point, I got 8 blobfin in a row.

Used bait not counted

I'd say the blobfin. It was the last one I needed for the achievement on a couple characters.

I’ve gotten a dozen each leech and blobfin and only 2 cucumber. I think I had the same experience last year.

Planning on doing this every day with my main, so I need 20 of each fish. I got to 14, 15 and 16 last night before moving on. If you're stopping at one of each, rng is going to hit you, but if you stick it out for a while, most people will have evenly distributed results. I had 7 or 8 blobfin before a single leech and then 11 leeches before 9 blobfin.

I'd bet real money that the rng is programmed and functioning equally across the full user base.

Suuuuuuper boring answer, but also true.

Uhhh, I don't remember. I started this years event with over 20 of each stored from last year. Hoping that gets me through enough quests/characters to get close to all the special writs we need. So far I have 8 of the special writs.

Just use simple bait.

I'd have to say all three are about equal. I've saved leftover fish from the previous two years of New Life events and have 51-56 of each of the 3 types. Bank them and give them to alts and you don't have to fish at all.

If you start with none then whichever you really need for the quest. I got 7 blobfin, and 5 cucumbers before I got my first leech. I stuck around for a while afterwards and had 9 blobfin, 7 cucumbers and 8 leeches when I finally left.

Try a different swim

Use hissmir fish-eye rye. You will catch them fast without fail.

All that does is make the fishing hole easier to see, great for Coldharbour.

could be coincidence/rng, it looks like:
insect part -> equal amounts
guts -> higher chance of cucumber
worms -> higher chance of leech
crawlers -> higher chance of blobfin
