As you'd expect, Fishing allows a character to hone their hunting skills and enables you to fish for fish and other things lurking in the watery depths. You can consume some items in their raw form or cook (if you've trained in cooking) for increased benefits. The food can be used by hunters for their pets and you can even fish out reagents useful to alchemy and chests with goodies hidden inside.
Fishing is a Secondary Gathering Profession and does not count towards your 2 primary profession limit.

What do I need and how do I fish?
Zoom Out (don't click image)
After you have learned fishing you will need to buy a [Unknown Item: Fishing Pole] from a Supplier. Now find a body of water that will fit your fishing skill. If you just started to learn fishing, you will need to use water in a low level area. When you are facing the water, you will need to equip the Fishing Pole in order to be able to fish (this is different than Mining, where you just need to have the Pick in your backpack). Your weapon will need to be put in your inventory. You can drag the fishing skill icon from you Skill Book (Press P to open) to one of your action bars so you can access it more easily.
To cast, you left click on the fishing icon. A fishing bobber with a couple of feathers on top will be cast at some random location close to you in the water you are standing near. If you get the message "Your cast did not land in fishable water", you should make sure your character is really facing the water, or move closer. Some (but very few) waters are not fishable. When you manage to throw the bobber, a small timer gauge will appear at the bottom of the screen, similar to when you're casting some spells. The timer shows how long the bobber stays in the water. Hold you cursor over the bobber and wait.
When you see a splash around the bobber right click on it and the catch will either get away or you will be successful (depending on what waters you are fishing, and your fishing skill). If you did catch a fish, a loot box will pop up showing what you have caught. If you hold the Shift key down, or use the setting "Auto Loot" in the Interface Settings, when you click the bobber, then any items you might fish up will automatically go to your bags. If you are a significantly higher level in Fishing than required for the location you're in you will have longer to click the bobber, and it's harder to get a catch with lower skill level.
![[]](http://wow.incgamers.com/wiki//wiki/Image:Gone_fishingsml.jpg)
There's not much else you can do in the game while fishing. You can't use the ingame chat because you need to be ready to click the bobber when it splashes. Of course you can't do that if you're typing a message to someone. Suggested activities include using Team Speak, Ventrilo or the ingame voice chat to talk to friends or skip that and listen to music. A great tip is to use normal waiting times for fishing, such as waiting for member to arrive at your instance, or waiting for a boat at one of the ports.
You do need a lot of patience for this trade, so a tip to make it feel less of a chore is to set yourself "fishing durations" that last as long as your bait does ( about bait). If you play for a few hours at a time you can aim to have one or two 10 minute sessions. Your skill will soon level up and you won't feel as if you're grinding it.

What things can I catch?
Fishing for trouble?
The most common thing you will catch is fish, unsurprisingly. Still, there is more to fishing than immediately meets the eye. The items you can catch while fishing are:
Trouble caught!
Your skill has no impact on the type of fish or loot you catch, that is zone dependant. You will be level 375 fishing and still never get anything but [Unknown Item: Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper], [Unknown Item: Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish] or [Unknown Item: Raw Brilliant Smallfish] when fishing in Stormwind.
The loot you can get from fishing increases in quality as you fish in more difficult waters, obviously requiring higher fishing skill. If interested, you should read the FULL LIST of all items you can get by fishing.
[ edit]
What can I do with the things I catch?
Well, lots of things you can consume immediately but you are much better off Cooking the fish first for greater benefits. For instance, take a common low level fish, the Catfish:
Raw:
Cooked:
It becomes an even bigger difference at higher levels. After level 60 it is more and more common to gain temporary buffs if sitting and consuming cooked fish (and other types of food) for 10 seconds or longer. The [Unknown Item: Golden Darter] will turn into [Unknown Item: Golden Fish Sticks], which is excellent if you are healing. Most raiding guilds require the members to have these "food buffs" in order to be allowed in the raid. So train as a cook. Cooking is a secondary profession and therefore does not count towards your 2 primary profession limit. If you can't be bothered with Cooking you can just eat it raw or sell it on to a vendor.
You'll not get much money for them from a vendor though (even cooked), a few silver max. Fishing and just selling to vendors isn't a route to riches, that's for sure. However, Fishing combined with Cooking will enable you to sell those food buff delights for tonnes of gold on the Auction House! So there is potential to make some money from fishing if you combine it with some other profession. Besides Cooking, you can also benefit from Fishing from other professions as well.

How do I Improve my Fishing skill level?
It's popular belief that if you divide your fishing skill by 5 you should be fishing in an area where mobs are round about that level. So if you have a fishing skill of 100, that would mean you would be best suited to fishing in an area populated by level 20ish mobs. As your fishing skill level increases you will be able to fish successfully in higher level areas. If you try to cast your line into water in an area too high for you you will get a message to say "you're not sufficiently skilled enough to fish" there. If you are able to cast your line into an area somewhat higher than your skill level you are less likely to catch anything and will receive the 'your fish got away' messages more often.
Your fishing skill level does not determine what you can catch in any area, it determines if you will catch. Each area has certain fish and items that can be fished. That list of items isn't affected by your fishing skill level, it's the same for every fisherman. However, higher skill means more chance of catching something from that list, lower level skill means less chance, and much lower skill level means you'll get the above message.
You can skill up your fishing from 1 to 375 in any fishable body of water at your level. This means you can stand in Stormwind all day long and get skillups on your fishing at the same rate as you would in a higher level zone. What decides your skillups is the number of successful catches.
From level 1 to 75 you will get a skillpoint on pretty much every successful catch, this will decrease as your skill gets higher and from 300 to 375 you will need to do more than 10 successful catches for each skill point gained. The following equation gives a rough estimate:
(Current Fishing Skill - 75) / 25 = Rough number of successful catches for a skill-up. So:
(250 - 75) / 25 = 7 fish caught to get 1 skill
Here's list of average caught fish to raise a point in fishing.
If your fishing skill is no longer increasing in level when you catch something check that you have not reached the the max level cap for your rank. If you've reached the cap seek a trainer and train to the next rank.
Once you reach 375 your skill will not increase by fishing although it can be raised by equipment and bait. In the end you will have to catch about 2000 fish to get from start to finish.

Fishing Skill Upgrades
There are a number of ways you can temporarily increase your Fishing skill, enabling you to roam other, more profitable, waters for fish or treasure. You can upgrade to a better pole, have a pair of gloves imbued with a fishing bonus by an Enchanter or buy bait to apply to your rod. Some improvements are more temporary than others.
Any bonus you receive from equipment will of course only count as long as you have them equipped, and bait will only last for a couple of minutes, normally. Either way, these additions are great ways of increasing the range of waters you are able to fish, and gain food or loot from, as well as increasing your chances of getting a catch in lower level waters.

Are there any Mods/UIs that will help me fish?
Bots that fish for you are illegal and use of them could result in your account being banned by Blizzard. However, a mod that is not illegal is Fishing Buddy. Features include:
Relevance of when you fish
There are two seasonal fish that we know of [Unknown Item: Raw Summer Bass] and [Unknown Item: Winter Squid] and when cooked both have bonuses to their health benefits. Summer Bass only caught in the summer months can be cooked into [Unknown Item: Hot Smoked Bass] and gives a +10 boost to Spirit for 10 minutes whereas the [Unknown Item: Winter Squid] can be cooked into [Unknown Item: Grilled Squid] gives +10 to Agility for 10 minutes, so particularly handy for Rogues. The time of day can also affect what you fish, for example, in an area you would fish [Unknown Item: Raw Nightfin Snapper] at night time, you will catch [Unknown Item: Raw Sunscale Salmon] in its place during the day you will catch.
How do I train to higher levels of fishing?
Expert - Via a Book
As with the other two secondary skills higher levels are not achieved through regular training. To become Expert you'll need to purchase a book for 1 gold from in Booty Bay. Follow the pier around to the right, don't go up the ramp, carry on, then go down the next ramp and Old Man Herring's 'The Happy Bobber' shop is right in front of you. Simple as that.
Artisan - Via a Quest
To achieve Artisan fishing rank you will need to complete a quest. Remember, you must be a character level of 35 and posses a fishing skill of 225 or above (without bonuses) before you can begin either of these quests below.
Horde
Seek out , in the Valley of Honor in Orgrimmar . He will issue you with the quest which sends you off to see in Dustwallow Marsh.
Alliance
Seek out , in the Forlorn Cavern of Ironforge . He will issue you with the quest which sends you off to see in Dustwallow Marsh.
Both
From here on it's the same for characters from both Factions. will issue you with the quest that calls for you to fish for 1 each of the following fish in the locations listed. The co-ordinates listed are one of the co-ordinates that you can catch fish. Take [Unknown Item: Aquadynamic Fish Attractor]s with you to ensure you have the highest possible skill in fishing.
If you have a Skill level of 225 fishing, you probably don't need a bait. The fish "droprate" varies, but it can be very quick if you are lucky.
Quest Targets:
You need the quest in order to catch any of these fish. They will not spawn for you without the quest.
Master - Via a Book
To become a master at fishing you need to go to Zangarmarsh , Outland and seek out a vendor named Juno Dufrain. He is situated just south-east of Cenarion Refuge, by the water, and sells the book [Unknown Item: Master Fishing - The Art of Angling] for a mere 5 . You can learn this book at level 45, fishing level 275 and it gives you the ability to train fishing up to level 375.
Fishing Ingame Events
There are events ingame that is only available to fishermen. That includes daily quests as well as a weekly event.
Daily Fishing Quests
Every day you have the chance of gaining gold and great loot from your fishing skill with the Fishing Daily Quests. They start with , and can send you anywhere from Stormwind to Shadowmoon valley to catch your fish. You can gain items such as:
