[Fishing] Wierdest places you can still fish

  1. By Aughy <Angler> 4 months ago

    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.

    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.

    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).

    Anyone else have any weird fishing locations?

    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.

    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...

    I think it is Scholomance where you can fish in the shallow water one of the bosses stands in. Shallow water is mostly only un-fishable in Outlands.

    I still find it wierd to fish in Orgrimmar.

    I do believe El's right about Scholomance. I remember being surprised that such a shallow, insignificant patch of water was fishable there.

    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.

    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.

    OP: The lava in IF is particularly disturbing. Those brilliant smallfish must have some crazy fire resist!
