A Bear of an Appetite

• Requires: Level 72.
• Starts/Ends: Hugh Glass, Redwood Trading Post, eastern Grizzly Hills.
• Reward: 5g 90s.

Catch 6 Northern Salmon using a fishing net. The fish are caught from School of Northern Salmon, which are found along the eastern coast of the Grizzly Hills. You must use the net provided - not a fishing pole.

• Wowhead: A Bear of an Appetite
• Fish Finder: Northern Salmon

No Fishing Pole Necessary

• Requires: Level 85.
• Starts/Ends: Ben of the Booming Voice fishing just east of Halfhill, Valley of the Four Winds. An optional quest directs you to Ben, from Sungshin Ironpaw at Halfhill Market.
• Reward: 10 Golden Carp.

Simply catch and deliver 5 Golden Carp, and Ben will give you 10. What a generous chap! Golden Carp can be caught from any area of open water in Pandaria, including the water Ben stands next to. At least half of the catch will be Golden Carp. The quest is technically easiest to complete at low fishing skill, since excess Golden Carp are caught when your skill is insufficient to fish open water in Pandaria (instead of junk). This means that a new angler, with fishing skill 1, is almost guaranteed to catch a Golden Carp with every cast.

• Wowhead: No Fishing Pole Necessary
• Fish Finder: Golden Carp

Order of the Cloud Serpent

• Requires: Level 90. Daily.
• Starts/Ends: Jenova Longeye at The Arboretum in The Jade Forest.

One daily quest is offered to anglers, Snack Time: Catch 10 Sugar Minnow. These can be caught from any open water or pool in Pandaria.

Jenova Longeye also offers a daily quest for cooks, A Feast for the Senses. This requires 5 Fish Cake. Each Fish Cake is cooked with 2 Golden Carp, which are caught by fishing.

Fish Finder: Sugar Minnow

Rather Be Fishin'

• Requires: Level 62.
• Starts/Ends: Seth, northern side of the Lower City, Shattrath.
• Reward: Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole (+20 fishing skill, requires 200 fishing skill to use).

The Way to His Heart

• Starts/Ends: Anuniaq, in the Tuskarr village of Kamagua, western Howling Fjord. You must complete the Scalawag Isle quests first.
• Reward: 4g 70s, and 500 Kalu'ak reputation. Once completed, this quest becomes a "daily quest": It can be repeated each day.

Gather at least 5 Tasty Reef Fish, which can be found in School of Tasty Reef Fish. These pools are in deep water off the south side of the Isle of Spears. School of Tasty Reef Fish are not fished with a pole: Use Anuniaq's Net, provided. Some pools will contain a shark - but you can loot Tasty Reef Fish from the corpses of most sharks too.

Now find a Reef Bull on the northern shore of Scalwag Point island. Throwing a Tasty Reef Fish will make the bull waddle about 10 yards towards you. The aim is to get a Reef Bull to cross the water to the Reef Cows on the southern shore of the Isle of Spears. Throw a fish at the bull, change your position, throw another fish. When the bull reaches the cow, they will "make love". It's a beautiful thing!

This is one of 3 daily quests that give Kalu'ak reputation. The others quests do not involve fishing, but will help you gain a Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole.

• Wowhead: The Way to His Heart
• Fish Finder: Tasty Reef Fish
