Spending 10 minutes fishing with a good rod to find 2 pokemon is kind of ridiculous. I'm not asking to find rarer pokemon, I just want to find A pokemon. Why is the encounter rate of anything so terrible? 

 

My suggestion is to have a pokemon encounter every 10 casts AT LEAST. I don't know why it is so low to begin with.. is it to support realistic fishing? I really would rather play a fishing simulator for that. 

Pros: give something to do other than press fishing button 200 times praying for a pokemon, and possibly level up a pokemon good vs water types

Cons: annoys people who don't want magikarp spam

Its already on the devs to do list (even tho its not publicaly on the official todo list) but its been stated many times that fishing will be reworked just not in the near future.

Ok good to know, didnt see it stated! Wish it were sooner tho :<
