Some of the named areas around the edges of Serpent Lake in Zangarmarsh have a base skill of 305, so it is possible to fish certain pools within the lake at this lower skill level. Blackwind Lake, Lake Ere'Noru, Lake Jorune and the Elemental Plateau can only be reached with a flying mount. Blackwind Valley and Skettis, also in the same area as Blackwind Lake, have a base skill below 375, probably 355 like the rest of Terokkar Forest. buy wow gold here.

Shadowmoon Valley and other areas in which Felblood Snapper are caught have a very low (under 300) skill requirement.

Many areas of water cannot be fished. Some are too shallow. Others warn that no fish are there when you try and fish. No dungeon instances are known to contain fishable water.

Initial tests suggest "get-aways" still occur at less than base fishing skill plus 95. So to fish reliably in Lake Sunspring, Blackwind Lake, Lake Jorune or Lake Ere'Noru with existing gear, you'll need 375 fishing skill, all the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza fishing gear, and a +75 lure (Bright Baubles); or less gear and a +100 lure (Aquadynamic Fish Attractor). buy wow gold here.

Fishing Equipment

One new fishing pole has been added - Seth's Graphite Fishing Pole. The pole gives a +20 bonus to fishing, but requires 200 fishing skill. It also has a huge (+52) stamina bonus, which should help fishing folk survive a few seconds longer. The pole has the same bonus as the Big Iron Fishing Pole, but is easier to gain at high level. Seth's pole is a quest reward for Rather Be Fishin' from Seth in refuge area of Shattrath City. The Pristine Shimmerscale Eels required for the quest can't be caught - they are dropped by the Shimmerscale Eels in Silmyr Lake. The pole should be useful for Alliance characters, who cannot gain the +25 bonus Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000. buy wow gold here.
