This guide is all about getting to that fishing skill of 450 so you can start farming those fish you need no matter where they are to gain stat food or simply farm to sell for gold. Following this guide will guarantee that you don’t spends days fishing to get your skill up to 450.
Training the Skill
Instead of running around to various trainers I recommend that you simply get a port to Dalaran and train with Marcia Chase. She will be able to teach you all the fishing skills that you need. You will also be able to fish next to her the entire time until you reach 450. You can also do this with any fishing trainer in your home city that is close to water.

Things to Know About Fishing
1. Once you train your fishing skill you will have a icon in your spellbook under the general tab that allows you to fish.
2. You need to have your fishing pole equipped!!!!!!!!!!
3. You will gain skill ups by successful catches, this means that even if you catch junk you will still gain skills.
How to start
It would be beneficial to get the following equipment before you start (Marcia Chase sells this all):
Fishing Pole
Strong Fishing Pole
Shiny Bauble
Now that you have the basics down and know what to expect not to mention all your gear it is time to power level your fishing. Now this way is very simple if you are looking to get your skill up fast. Keep in mind there is no money made this way it is all about skill, you will catch a large majority of junk.
Fishing 1-450 at the Speed of Light
Follow the steps below and you will be a Illustrious Fisherman in no time!!!
1. Learn your first skill set as stated above by training with Marcia Chase.
2. Attach the lure to your fishing pole and begin fishing in the water next to Marcia Chase.
*You will have your fishing pole equipped and click the fishing icon that is found in your spellbook under the general tab. Once you cast you will see your bobber you must watch it until you get a bite which means your bobber will go underwater and back above making a splash once this happens you will right click and loot your fish that you caught.
3. Be sure to pay attention to when you can train up with Marcia so that you aren’t fishing when your skill is maxed.
4. Remember the junk you are catching is not really worth anything (until you are actually able to catch the high level Northrend fish you won’t be catching much of any value) so you can destroy what you catch or sell it to Marcia Chase as you need space.
