Fathom Eel

  1. Valvaris, July 2011:

    This was suggested on Wowhead about a month ago but I just wanted to see if others had observed this as well. Is this no longer fishable in open water?

  2. el, July 2011:

    Checked just now, and Fathom Eel can still be caught from open water in Uldum and (unnamed areas of) the Shimmering Expanse.

    Did anyone see this fish, more like, the Pools, in Uldum anymore?

    I've spent 1 hour going up and down the coastal line in Uldum and I haven't encountered a single pool of Eel. I ended up going in Vashj'ir and fish in the open water.

    YEah this is a common problem, I'm finding that you have may 3-4 full runs on those pools a day. I'm pretty sure this happens for two reasons. 1) Not a lot of people in the zone anymore 2) No one fishes the Blackbelly Mudfish pools which would also speed up the Eel respawns.
