Catching Baby Crocolisk
Quest: Crocolisks in the City from Old Man Barlo, near Silmyr Lake in Terokkar Forest. This is one of several possible daily fishing quests from Old Man Barlo. The fish can only be caught with this quest.
Detailed Guide: Daily Fishing Quests - Walkthrough and rewards for the daily fishing quests.
Commentary: Can be caught from any part of Stormwind, including water around the Valley of Heroes and the Moonwell in the Park. Ironforge is not listed in the quest description - for more evidence, see this discussion. For Alliance, Ironforge is quickest: After using the portal, fish from the Mystic Ward.

Topic: Baby Crocolisk Daily - Not restricted to SW
By Cornuthaum, on 15 April 2008:
It is apparently possible to catch the Baby Crocolisk from The Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge.
I was bored (4am and I couldn't sleep), so I decided to go level the fishing skill of my Hunter some more (who, through luck and divine providence had gotten my 2nd Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat from the Crocolisk daily quest a week before).
To my surprise, the first catch I made in the Forlorn Cavern turned out to be the baby crocolisk, me not being aware that I had actually accepted the quest two days ago with my Hunter (but forgot to do it, thanks to frustration overwhelming me).
However, I am aware of the old adage 'Screen or it didn't happen!'.

Question: The question is whether all racial capitols are viable places to go croc'ing to (provided, of course, that they have fisheable plots of water) or not.
I apologize beforehands should this information have come up earlier, but alas, it's 04.41 and I think my brain is currently oozing out of my left ear.
edit: As luck would have it, the daily quest reset brought about another round of Baby Crocolisk anglin', and since I follow the school of 'I do it because I can', I went and tested if I could catch it from Ironforge once more.
And yes, I could

That's new to me. Thank you.
The question of whether it can be found in other capitals is indeed an important one. And if it can be found in all capitals (at least those with fishable water), where else does it appear?

I got the Crocs in the City quest today, so I decided to test this out. I grabbed the quest with my druid and headed over to Darnassus. He still needs some fishing skill, so I figured this was a good chance for him to get in some practice.
Shadowfang pulled in 75 successful catches within Darnassus without a baby croc showing its sharp little teeth. I then headed over to Stormwind and caught my baby croc on the third cast. So whatever this glitch is, Darnassus does not seem to be a part of it.

I'm not quite sure I'd count it out just yet - I've gone more than 150 catches in Stormwind before pulling the croc.

Well I have 2 375 fishing nuts and did the quests on both one morning. then I thought I would try something. I got on my 70 Pally with fishing skill of only 157 got the quest and went to SW. I was surprised I could complete it on him as well. Of course this got me me started and now I have 2 fishing fools at 375 and one at 353 and getting closer to max
Topic: Baby Crocolisk daily in other cities
By emma, on 26 April 2008:
A while back I read a thread here about the possibility of catching the Baby Crocolisk quest item in cities that aren't specified in the quest log (like Stormwind). I just thought I'd mention that I did 50 casts in Undercity today without getting the item (I did have the quest). It's not definitive of course, but I've never had to go more than 30 casts to get it in Orgrimmar. I'll give it another go next time it's the daily, or maybe try Thunder Bluff.
