Hi there.
While attempting to catch a Giant Sewer Rat in the shallow water in the Circle of Wills (the area with arena masters in the Underbelly), I had someone come up and tell me I was fishing in the wrong place. He said I needed to be down below, where Cantrips and Crows is.
Can anyone confirm or deny this please?
Anywhere that you are catching fish like Magic Eater should be good. Essentially any water "underground".
I caught mine off the pier next to the Underbelly Inn.
I actually caught mine just now while fishing in the Wishing Fountain and not in the Underbelly at all. Maybe it's catchable anywhere in Dalaran?

There's a bit of a glitch in the fountain where it thinks you are in the underbelly is your cast lands in just the right spot.
The problem with the fountain is that the boundaries are not very well defined. If your cast lands at the edge of the water, you gain an Underbelly fish. There is a topic about it here. (Zahana beat me to it.)

got mine on the mini plank next to the dock after spending a good few hours. started in the circle of wills before reading up here bout cantrips and crows area. over all went from 398 to 415 in one sitting. mate went from 388 to 430 and didnt get it =s
i have the
Extreme Anger FC 5000. (+25)
Weather-beating fishing hat +(5) (use: attach +75 lure)
+100 lures
I finally got mine too. I casted over 700 times. I even fished up a ROCK. My base skill is maxed at 450, i am using the Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole (+30) and using the 1 hour (+100) Glow worm for a total of 580 fishing skill. I fished up in the "The Black Market" area right in front of Darhir facing the entrance to the area. If you are facing the entrance you'll be on the left side of the entrance. Hope that makes sense and helps somebody out.

I didn't keep an exact count, but judging by the number of stacks of fish and other stuff that I sold, I cast at least 300 times in the Black Market area without catching the Giant Sewer Rat. After that, I took a research break, and read on another site (Wowhead? Warcraftpets?) that fishing from the end of the pier by Cantrips and Crows was the best place to catch the Giant Sewer Rat. So I moved to the Cantrips and Crows, and caught the Giant Sewer Rat on my second lure. Someone else also caught it while I was there. I don't know if the probability there actually is higher or if I just got lucky, but if you're having a lot of frustration in the Black Market, you just might be fishing in the wrong spot.
By the way, I was using the following:
450 Fishing skill
Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole with High Test Eternium Fishing Line (+35 skill total)
+100 lures
