It's suprising how, this close to Cata, small things stand out.
For example the post from GC was interesting

but what stood out for me is the casual thrown in example he used of
("Fishing has a new icon!").
Odd how the eye is drawn sometimes..
Oh well, back to waiting for more Arch details....
One wonders whether it's something he mentioned because so many folk find fishing to be mundane (read boring) and never take it up (their loss, I say!) - or, was it because the topic of fishing is one of the things "on his mind" because of redesigns coming to the profession?
Or, is it simply because he's a marine biologist (well, he's not a marine biologist now, of course, he's lead systems designer, but you know what I mean).
I suspect some changes coming the way of us fisher-folk, my only sincere prayer to the devs is - please make it relaxing... I don't want to feel like I'm having to be a "twitchy" player in order to fish - there are some of us who play the game and, well, let's just say we're not spring chickens any more, and we like to unwind with some simply right clickyness on a bobber now and again :)
Aye, I quite like the simplicity of the current version of fishing, although they could spice up what we can get from fishing.
I suspect they will also be using those new lures someone noticed at some point.
If they want to add variety, Ii could be something like
If you want to speed up fishing use <name> lure. This switches fishing from the current method to a twitchy or watch the shadows style fishing.
Special bobbers/lures gives them a way to change Fishing, whilst keeping the simple version available for us old timers.
