Tol Barad
- Open Water Skill: 675 to fish open water without junk. Pools can be fished effectively with skill 1.
- Notes: Tol Barad is a PvP area, similar to Wintergrasp. Fish can be caught in Tol Barad's Peninsula - the area containing daily quests. This area can only be reached via a portal - it cannot be flown to from the mainland. Catch data and pool locations thanks to Idoru. No-junk skill unconfirmed, but high.
- Commentary: Idoru notes, "Elixir of Water Walking makes it a lot easier to fish the pools, the creatures along the coast are a real pain."
- History: Cataclysm: First fish caught.

Comments about Tol Barad
Below are readers' comments about "Tol Barad":
Getting 675 skill for Tol Barad fishing
Noodleguitar, November 2010:
I've looked at the available equipment and if I didn't forget anything, the highest skill you can get is 667 (525 + 142 from gear).
Will this be the maximum or will there be new items to increase +fishing.
I just remembered that the High Test Eternium Line is bugged, so theoretically you could get 670 if they fix it. But because the bug has been in the game for quite some time, it could be that the game actually considers the line to be +5, meaning that it would be a tooltip error.
Enarka, November 2010:
The new Engineering lures give up to 150 I believe.
el, November 2010:
Personal skill:
525: Illustrious AnglerGear bonuses:
40: Arcanite Fishing Pole (contest)
5: High Test Eternium Fishing Line (2 if still bugged)
15: Boots of the Bay (contest)
5: Either fishing hat
5: Enchant Gloves - AnglerConsumables:
150: Heat-Treated Spinning Lure
10: Captain Rumsey's Lager
50: Underbelly Elixir (extreme)Maximum possible skill = 805. Obviously that list contains Underbelly Elixir (which can only be drunk in Dalaran) and 2 contest wins. Without those the maximum is 70 less.
Kahless, November 2010:
If you apply a new High test Eternium fishing line, you get +5
Base Skill + a 150 lure will get you to 675
Without winning any contests or relying on any rare hard to acquire items you can get to 720.
Kalu'ak pole +30, Lager +10, Gloves +5, Lure +150
