A fun an often profitable secondary profession in WoW is Fishing. Although Fishing is unique it is a gathering profession like Herbalism and Skinning. You’ll see the best way to play the fishing profession in the following WoW Fishing guide.

WoW fishing takes real patience just like real world fishing. Sitting and waiting for something to take the bait is part of fishing in the real world as well as World of Warcraft. When the bobber dips you’ve caugt something, so quickly double click the bobber! Aside from catching fish and other creatures you may get a lot of junk or even some really valuable items you can only get through fishing.

Here’s a list of some basic steps to guide you in WoW Fishing.

Step 1: Get a pole

To start just get a basic fishing pole. You can usually find a Supplier selling poles for about 23 copper near water or the trainer.

Step 2: Find a Fishing Trainer

As you’d expect fishing trainers will be near bodies of water, but if you do need help just ask a guard. It’ll cost only 1 silver to get initial training to start fishing.

Step 3: Find water

Just about any body of water will do. This includes rivers, ponds, lakes and so forth. Fishing in a quite spot has 2 main advantages. One, you won’t have to fight anyone. Secondly, when you’ve made a catch you’ll hear a splash in the water.

Step 4: Equip Pole

Just drag the pole to the main hand slot in the character screen.

Step 5: Spellbook

For convenience put the fishing icon on your action bar. It’ll be in your Spellbook.

Step 6: Cast

Click the fishing icon to cast your line, the bobber will be in the water if you did it right.

Step 7: Reel In the catch

As I mentioned before once the bobber dips it means you’ve caught something. Double click the bobber. After the catch is reeled in just put it in the inventory.

Remember, the lower your skill level, the more junk you’ll catch. This WoW Fishing guide won’t go into leveling, but there are some really good guide available. Some fishing spots will result in more junk than others. Focus on catching to more valuable fish. It may take longer but the gold is much better.
