I went to get the ghost fish daily and none of my usual fishing spots would work. I had to step into the water to get any cast to land in "fishable water." </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/strange-fishing-behavior-wintergrasp#post-6542 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:55:25 +0000 el 6542@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Intriguing. Most confusing is that the bug is based on where you stand, not where the bobber might land.</p> <p>Added: There are a few posts in Blizzard's customer service forum, so they're aware of the problem. The solution given is to stand in the water, which isn't always possible. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/strange-fishing-behavior-wintergrasp#post-6541 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:47:10 +0000 dejaa 6541@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>This was happening to me in Borean Tundra. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/strange-fishing-behavior-wintergrasp#post-6540 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 01:09:52 +0000 Rangthar 6540@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Same for me in Howling Fjord.

I noticed a lot of people with this issue, and even standing on the little floating ice chunks didn't seem to help.</p> <p>Definitely NOT something that was there last time I was in the zone. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wierdest-places-you-can-still-fish#post-641 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 20:27:10 +0000 Pipre 641@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I will actually stand way back on the shore for some pools in STV and then just apam-click the button. That way I can garauntee that when the cast does go off it will land right in the pool. This trick works really well on those "half pools" where there is just a sliver of school you could land your bobber in.</p> <p>OP: The lava in IF is particularly disturbing. Those brilliant smallfish must have some crazy fire resist! </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wierdest-places-you-can-still-fish#post-636 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 16:35:00 +0000 Oberweiss 636@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I do believe El's right about Scholomance. I remember being surprised that such a shallow, insignificant patch of water was fishable there.</p> <p>It's always been a superstition of mine to stand waist-deep in water to reduce the occurrence of the shallow water error message, particularly when fishing on the coast of STV for the fishing contest. I can't say for sure whether it actually helps, but I think it makes a difference. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wierdest-places-you-can-still-fish#post-631 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:30:00 +0000 Glew 631@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I still find it wierd to fish in Orgrimmar. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wierdest-places-you-can-still-fish#post-623 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 11:38:18 +0000 el 623@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I think it is <a href="/fish/?s=Scholomance" title="Fish Finder - Scholomance.">Scholomance</a> where you can fish in the shallow water one of the bosses stands in. Shallow water is mostly only un-fishable in Outlands. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wierdest-places-you-can-still-fish#post-621 Sat, 19 Apr 2008 07:56:40 +0000 Gummo 621@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>There's one place to fish in Burning Steppes; the little pool of water in the Ogre caves, Dreadmaul Rock. You can also swim south along the coast of Feralas until you're in Silithus and fish. According to Thottbot, Hive'Regal in Silithus also has pools in it you can fish from.</p> <p>I don't think I have a screenshot, but when the PTR was buggy and Silmyr lake was mostly empty with a few "squares" of water floating in place, I managed to water-walk on one corner and cast into the opposite corner... </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/wierdest-places-you-can-still-fish#post-617 Fri, 18 Apr 2008 15:43:20 +0000 Aughy 617@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>I was waiting on a respawn of U'cha in Un'Goro Crater ( the ape cave in the north eastern corner of the map) and had some time to kill. Just so you know U'cha spawns in a little area of water that my gnome could happily walk around in. </p> <p>So, I decide to waste the time by seeing if i could fish it. I hit the fishing button expecting to see that water to shallow to fish message and sure enough instead i get a successful cast. Hmmm. After a few more casts, my bobber is completely in the stone pillar in the center of the water.</p> <p>Is this just a bug? Every other time I have fished where i could walk i would get the water too shallow message (grrrrr those stupid pools on the STV coast).</p> <p>Anyone else have any weird fishing locations? </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/silmyr-lake-drained-for-guild-housing#post-205 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 16:09:19 +0000 Oberweiss 205@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>Fortunately, if you get the "Bait Bandits" quest, you can still complete it by fishing in the water just outside the horde town. It looks like a lake (rather than a river, which is specified by the quest), but I was able to catch the <a href="/fish/?s=Blackfin Darter" title="Fish Finder - Blackfin Darter.">Blackfin Darter</a> there anyway.</p> <p>It's also kind of funny to watch the waterfall flowing down from there, which evaporates instead of flowing into a river. </p> http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/silmyr-lake-drained-for-guild-housing#post-203 Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:55:10 +0000 el 203@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <p>It's a <a href="http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=4822424383&#38;sid=1">known bug</a>. Some areas of water in Outland are completely empty. Many others just have odd graphical glitches.
