- Master Fishing (to 375) comes from a book sold by Juno Dufrain at Cenarion Refuge in Zangarmarsh.
- Old Man Barlo at Silmyr Lake, Terokkar Forest, offers daily fishing quests once your realm reaches the content that added them. His reward bags can hold the Weather-Beaten Journal, which teaches Find Fish.
- Highland Mixed Schools in Terokkar can hold Mr. Pinchy, who grants wishes.
Check your realm's current phase. A full Outland guide is planned.
Mists of Pandaria Classic
- Fishing caps at 600, Zen Master.
- The Anglers faction is based at Anglers Wharf in Krasarang Wilds, with daily fishing quests.
