Catching Emperor Salmon
- Commentary: The most efficient way to catch large volumes of Emperor Salmon is to wait for it to be Fish of the Day at Stormstout Brewery (Brew Frenzied Emperor Salmon and Large Pool of Brew Frenzied Emperor Salmon). Without an active Fish of the Day migration, the fastest way to catch Emperor Salmon is to fish Emperor Salmon School in Valley of the Four Winds and Krasarang Wilds. Pools conveniently spawn along stretches of river in both zones.
- Achievements: Pandarian Angler: Catch each type of fish native to Pandaria: Emperor Salmon, Flying Tiger Gourami, Giant Mantis Shrimp, Golden Carp, Jade Lungfish, Jewel Danio, Krasarang Paddlefish, Mimic Octopus, Redbelly Mandarin, Reef Octopus, Spinefish Alpha and Tiger Gourami.
- History: Mists of Pandaria: First caught.
