El's Extreme Anglin' - World of Warcraft Fishing Guide // Fish Finder // Terokkar Forest

This pages summarises the fish that can be caught in Terokkar Forest. Parts of this zone vary (for example, contain different fish or have different skill requirements), so be sure to scan the whole page before casting a line.

Terokkar Forest

Detailed mapping of hard to find areas within the zone is shown below.

Notes: School of Darter and Brackish Mixed School are found in the water between Allerian Stronghold, Firewing Point, and Tuurem. Highland Mixed Schools are only found the in the elevated lakes of Terokkar Forest (see below). There are no pools in Silmyr Lake (near Shattrath).

Quests: Daily Fishing Quests start from Old Man Barlo, near Silmyr Lake. The quest Rather Be Fishin' (from Seth in Shattrath City) requires Pristine Shimmerscale Eels to be taken from the corpses of the Shimmerscale Eels in Silmyr Lake (not caught by fishing). The quest's reward is Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole (+20 fishing skill).

Skill Required: 355 to cast, 450 to stop fish getting away. Specific areas within this zone have different skill requirements (read below).

History:

• 2.3: Skill requirement to fish in Blackwind, Ere'Noru, and Jorune reduced from 525 to 500 (undocumented).
• 2.4: Silmyr Lake's skill requirement increased to match elevated lakes (undocumented). Brackish Mixed School replace Feltail Schools.

The catch rate is the approximate proportion of all catches from the water/pool type that are the named fish.

Terokkar Forest (Lakes)

Notes: Includes Blackwind Lake, Lake Ere'Noru, Lake Jorune, and Silmyr Lake. Blackwind, Ere'Noru and Jorune require a flying mount or flight ability to reach. Silmyr Lake also has a higher base fishing skill than other areas of Terokkar Forest. Silmyr Lake is the water immediately east of Shattrath City. Silmyr Lake does not contain Highland Mixed Schools: Highland Mixed Schools are only found in Blackwind, Ere'Noru, and Jorune. Highland Mixed Schools are the only place to fish catch Furious Crawdad. These pools are also the only place to catch the famous Mr. Pinchy, who may grant the angler a Magical Crawdad pet. For more detail about how to fish these pools, read the Catching Furious Crawdad and Mr. Pinchy topic.

Skill Required: 405 to cast, 500 to stop fish getting away.

The catch rate is the approximate proportion of all catches from the water/pool type that are the named fish.

Topic: higher fishing level?

1. By lyrabelacqua, on 26 March 2008:

   I used to fish where the new questgiver is at Lake Silmyr in Terrokar with just a bright bauble and have no getaways. Now I cannot cast--was the fishing level increased? Just Lake Silmyr? (I'm currently at 353 in fishing gear and no lure).

2. By el, on 26 March 2008:

   Skill has increased to 405/500, but only in Silmyr Lake. Same value as areas where Highland Mixed Schools are found. The rest of Terokkar Forest looks unchanged. Thanks for the tip-off.

   (My guess is that the lake was grouped in with the elevated lakes on the last patch, so that the quest fish couldn't be caught by standing right next to the quest-giver.)
