Patience is key to WoW fishing just like real fishing. Like real fishing, fishing in WoW will require you to sit and wait for a catch much of the time. When you’ve caught something the bobber will dip, that’s when you need to quickly double click it! 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.
Fishing, like many other secondary professions, will go better with some primary professions than with others. Naturally, Cooking goes great with fishing just because it’ll allow you to cook the fish. Sometimes you may reel in cloth or leather. These items can then be used in Tailoring and Leatherworking.

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. Beginning training will usually cost about 1 silver.
Step 3: Find water
Just about any body of water will do. Bodies of water can include pond, rivers, and lakes. Fishing spot with less noise and combat has 2 advantages. One, you won’t have to fight anyone. Second, you’ll be able to hear the water splash when you make a catch.
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. Check your Spellbook, it’ll be there.
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. Just right click the bobber twice. Once you’ve reeled it in put it in the inventory.
You’ll catch more junk at lower skill than at higher skill levels. Leveling is beyond this WoW Fishing Guide but there’re some excellent ones out there that include maps. Some fishing spots will result in more junk than others. Focus on catching to more valuable fish. Even though it takes longer you’ll earn a lot more gold.
