Your skill does not go up by where you are; it's by how many successful casts you get!

Q. Where is the best place to raise my skill with fishing?

A. It is a common misconception that you need to move areas to raise up your fishing skill. The truth, whether good or bad, is that your skill rises at the same rate anywhere; and that rate goes by the number of catches you make, not by the level of fish you catch!

Therefore it stands to reason that if you want to powerlevel your fishing, you can do it anywhere you can reliably catch fish! In fact, you will actually harm your fishing skill-up rate if you fish in an area where you consistently get "Your fish got away!" messages.

Why do people fish in higher areas, then? The answer is easy: fishing normal fish gets you almost nothing of value. Fish, even the level 200+ ones, sell for a couple of copper to a vendor. However, fish are used in alchemy and cooking; so if you're spending the time to raise your skill and you can reliably fish in an area where the fish have a good niche on the market, why not sell them at the AH and make money while raising the skill?


I suggest hitting Tanaris at around 225 skill and using lures to fish. You'll get almost all the casts, and you can get the best alchemy fish: blackmouths, firefins, and stonescale eels.

Tanaris is a great place for fishing at lvl 225 (so is Feralas). Stonescale eel on my server are selling for about 17g a stack. Type "nat pagle" into the search box when u hit lvl 225. He'll send you to a bunch of new places to fish.
