- Notes: A large chasm, called The Sundering, appeared during the Cataclysm, just south of Grom'gol Base Camp. The Sundering contains inland catches, even though it fills with seawater. Greater Sagefish School are found in Lake Nazferiti and the river leading to/from it. Northern Stranglethorn hosts the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza on Sundays from 14:00 to 16:00. During this time 80% of the catch from all pools will be Speckled Tastyfish. For more details, read the Contests chapter.
- Commentary: The sea keeps pouring into The Sundering: It is amazing that the sea hasn't emptied yet!
- Quests: Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme (from Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh) requires a Savage Coast Blue Sailfin. This can be caught from the western coast. The fish can only be caught with this quest. Cannot be caught while in a raid group. For more details read Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme.
