Fishing Profession

Fishing is one of the most time-consuming but rewarding professions in WoW. It’s pretty awesome, it’s a lot of fun, and there’s a lot of flavor in TBC. As a master fisherman, you can earn or catch numerous rare companion pets like Magical Crawdad and Toothy; you’ll also be able to catch fish that are used in important endgame cooking recipes like Huge Spotted Feltail for Fisherman’s Feast or Enormous Barbed Gill Trout for Hot Buttered Trout which are all really valuable raid consumables. You can also fish up gems, gear, and fishing also provide reagents for other professions like Alchemy.

This table will show you how much fishing skill you need to cast in certain zones and what skill you need to prevent the annoying “fish got away.” We’ve included all zones from skill 1 all the way to max. The biggest takeaway for TBC fishing from this graph is if you want to fish beyond the Dark Portal you’re going to need at least 280 fishing skills. When you head to Outland you can learn how to get your fishing past 300 from the book you buy from the Cenarion Refuge in Zangarmarsh. There are also fishing daily quests that reward you with a bag of fishing treasures which can give you a wide range of items and also some other fishing items that are kind of fun. Fishing, like first aid, doesn’t count toward your profession limit, so it’s worth picking up for all classes.
