If theย Falloutย universe shows anything,ย it’s thatย radiation causes incredible damage to wildlife. Mutated creatures like Anglers are one of many things that can drag you to an unfortunate death. Surprisingly enough, you want to seek these creatures out inย Fallout 76. Killing them provides much-needed resources. Anglers only spawn in set locations inย Fallout 76, so if youย wantย to find any,ย you’ll need toย travel toย different areas on the map.
Best Angler Locations in Fallout 76

Anglers are aggressive creatures you can find wandering in specific spots in Fallout 76. They look like a mixture of a buff frog and a strange fish. Admittedly, quite a few mutated beasts in the Fallout universe give me the creeps. Anglers sit pretty high up on the list for the simple fact that they blend into their environment too well despite their size. If you’re not careful, they can sneak up on you and land devastating hits.
The best way to circumvent this is to learn about all the Angler locations inย Fallout 76. This way, you can at least approach these areasย with your guard up.ย Keep in mindย that Anglers like to hide in bodies of water, allowing only their little bioluminescent antennas to stick out.ย Itย helps them resemble lure weed. Asย if they needed another reason to look creepy. Regardless, the best area to search for these vicious beastsย inย is theย Mire region on the eastern side of the map.
Specific Angler Locations

A great thing about Anglers and most other creatures in Fallout 76 is that they generally have preset locations where you can find them. So, you can always head to these areas for a chance to discover some:
- Gnarled Shallows (east of Abbie’s Bunker)
- Far north of Gnarled Shallows (search around the daily quest Queen of the Hunt Site Alpha)
- Thunder Mountain Substation TM-01 (north of Sunday Brother’s Cabin)
- Parking lot of Braxson’s Quality Medical Supplies (northeast of Raleigh’s Clay Bunker)
If, for any reason, you don’t see Anglers spawning in those locations, you can also head over to the Cranberry Bog region and search around Pylon V-13. It’s situated between the Abandoned Bog Town and Drop Site C-2. There’s only a chance that Anglers may spawn there, however, not a guarantee.
The most common locations for Anglers inย Fallout 76ย are the Gnarled Shallows, the northern area of Gnarled Shallows, and the Thunder Mountain Substation TM-01. If you encounter any issues spawning Anglers, you canย alwaysย join theย Moonshine Jamboreeย public event. It’s recommended you’re at least Level 50 for it, though, as the event will spawn several enemy types alongside Anglers to battle.
These creatures areย certainlyย intimidating, but hunting down Anglers isย more thanย worth it.ย They offer Adhesives, Raw Asbestos, and Angler Meat you can cook intoย Poachedย Anglerย that givesย you +20 AP for 30 minutes when you consume it.ย So, gather yourย best weaponsย (and maybe some friends) and get to hunting.
