Catching Firefin Snapper

• Notes: Sometimes Firefin Snapper School on the northern border of Dustwallow Marsh appear in The Barrens, and so can be fished at lower skill (from bazooka).
• Commentary: Only about 10-15% of the catch from open water will be Firefin Snapper. Pool fishing will normally give a far better catch rate. Oil Spills in Stonetalon Mountains are a particularly good choice, because the zone is quiet, and there are only two pool types in the set (Wreckage and Oil Spill).
