I became familiar with Wailing Caverns.

I'd realized how expensive raiding was and wanted to keep my costs as low as possible and maybe make a little extra gold, so I leveled cooking and fishing at the same time (courtesy of this site). Then when they introduced the minipet interface change... I had a whole new reason to love fishing!

Fave relax place is at the side of Valiance keep, one side is inland fish other the more proffitable fish like Angelfish & Sculpins, odd anomoly but allows me to cater for my cooking & selling on AH when I need some extra cash.

Every so often I fish the Glacial Salmon pools in GH when my supply of Firecracker Salmon gets low. Those are currently the only pools I fish.

The scene was beautiful, catching fish was fun and best of all there were no mosquitoes. I've been an avid fisher-orc ever since.

Grabbed a pole and hit that pond just south of the main gates until 50 skill, and then hit up the waters in the city proper for a bit as well. It was great food for my boar, and also a good source of income. Wasn't too long before all the selling prices of raw fish were slashed to 10% and greens stopped getting fished up though, thanks to all the bots. I still kept up mine though, just for the cooking skill and free pet food. Didn't actually reach 300 until I was 60; hovered around 250 for a long time since I didn't need higher skill until ZG rolled around.

It helped me with the cooking skill and got some fish for the char from my friend who could use them for alchemy. Leveling as an Alliance char you have lot of time to wait for ships, so there was always an opportunity to fish, while waiting. All my characters (Alli and Horde) startet fishing with the first levels and have their skill maxed before they reach max. level. I always did the fishing quests at Shattrath and now at Dalaran. Gives you nice Items, some Gold and even reputation. I'm trying to make the achievments for fishing, but without a hurry. Since I play 9 Chars between level 70 and 80, there is so much to do. I hope, that someday I catch the Turtle and maybe another Dr. Pinchy, who gives me the Pet. (Got two without it).

All of my alts fish and have at least a Big Iron Fishing Pole. The current alt I'm leveling is now at 49 and has had a Giant Sewer Rat following her around since about level 35. I did corpse running to the Bay of Storms and in Outlands to keep my cooking up at the same time. :) Al on "Poll: What level were you when you actively started fishing?" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/poll-what-level-were-you-when-you-actively-started-fishing#post-6744 Thu, 30 Jul 2009 00:21:37 +0000 Al 6744@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ My main is an alchemist/herbalist. I started fishing early (while originally farming stanglekelp ... which allowed me to make the little water breathing potions ... which allowed me to farm more stranglekelp LOL ) when I figured out how to do it. Later, I really wanted stonescale eels for my superior defense potions - which have been a pretty consistent selling item on my server. Since then, I train all my alts to fish. It provides my fish-banker with a continuing source of income ... which she sends to me. :) GormanGhaste on "Poll: What level were you when you actively started fishing?" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/poll-what-level-were-you-when-you-actively-started-fishing#post-6741 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:07:41 +0000 GormanGhaste 6741@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ I stayed away from fishing at first, because I was under the misconception that it was some minigame that required fast reflexes. So I leveled my hunter (!) without fishing past level 50. What convinced me to give it a try? When they introduced fishing minipets! :) Now I level it on all my alts as they go along.

As an alchemist and playing during classic WoW (several months before The Burning Crusade was released), I figured out that purchasing Stonescale Eels in the AH was silly and that it would be a better investment to be able to fish them up myself. (I remember that the other "Alchemy Fish" of Firefin Snapper & Oily Blackmouth weren't really that useful / profitable ...) I remember spending a lot of time in Azshara... Another thing to remember is that in Classic WoW, if you wanted to level cooking, you had to fish (or purchase fish in the AH). el on "Poll: What level were you when you actively started fishing?" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/poll-what-level-were-you-when-you-actively-started-fishing#post-6739 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:39:26 +0000 el 6739@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ <a href="http://www.elsanglin.com/poll/">Voting booth</a> First thing you did? Didn't even bother to learn until your second character was 80? I'm interested in when you actively started fishing - not just train fishing. I suspect some people will train it at level 5, catch 2 fish, and then forget about it until much later. yossarian on "Poll: Which water do you mostly fish?" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/poll-which-water-do-you-mostly-fish#post-6730 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 17:29:46 +0000 yossarian 6730@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ i usually fish at wintersgrasp.... (240 casts an hour if i fish in wintersgrasp, 100 casts an hour if i fish pools elsewhere in northrend) its just more profitable... and with this new patch (3.2) and all the new instances i think it will even be more so.

The only time I fish in WG is when the daily is there, as I'm not fond of pvp. But yes, all the places I've ever mentioned as my favorite fishing spots don't involve pool fishing. I guess it's like how most people wouldn't say their favorite road trip is the daily commute :) Coldgreentea on "Poll: Which water do you mostly fish?" http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/topic/poll-which-water-do-you-mostly-fish#post-6694 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:57:31 +0000 Coldgreentea 6694@http://www.elsanglin.com/forums/ My favorite place is in open water. I tend to fish glacial salmon in grizzly most.

I like to fish in open water so that I catch a variety of things. When things are hectic (in game and/or out), I mostly fish in pools I see as I'm doing other things.

There I only fish in pools for maximum yield.
