Azshara
Detailed mapping of hard to find areas within the zone is shown below.
Notes: Firefin Snapper School, Floating Wreckage Pool, Oily Blackmouth School and Stonescale Eel Swarm, can be found along the coastline on the west side of the Bay of Storms. Most of these pools are in the lower-skilled area, although a couple require higher skill - one pool is right on the boundary, so the skill requirement changes depending on where the bobber lands! Azshara is famous for the curious pools of bright blue swirling masses of gas, called "Patch of Elemental Water". For more details, read the Fishing Elemental Water topic.
