To put it simply, fishing allows players to use a Fishing Rod to cast out your line into bodies of water (such as lakes, rivers and oceans) and catch fish. With your fish, you can also cook them to get food that can regain your health, eat them raw, or feed them to hunter pets. There’s a bunch of fish you can catch, and therefore it can be quite intimidating trying to figure out how to get level 300 in WoW Classic. Let’s get to it!
Trainer Locations
We’ll now jump into the trainer locations for Apprentice (1-75), Journeyman (75-150) Fishing. And after that, we’ll talk about Expert (150-225) and Artisan (225-300) fishing.

How to catch fish
To catch fish, you’ll need to get a fishing pole, which you can find from Fishing Supply and Trade Supply merchants. A guard in a city can tell you where they are. We also recommend you stock up on Shiny Bauble when you’re at the merchant, which you can use on your fishing pole to make catching first fish a bit easier.
Then, head to a body of water, preferably in a starting zone like the Elwynn Forest or Durotar. Make sure you’re standing on dry land, and make sure you’re not in combat. After confirming that your fishing pole is equipped in your weapon slot, open u your spell book and search for the Fishing Skill. Drag the Fishing skill to your action bar so that it is easier to recast. Cast your first line, and you’ll be successful if you see a floating fishing bobber appear in the water. Otherwise, you may receive an error message, and you should readjust your position to more appropriate grounds. Right click on the bobber to catch your fish. You may be unsuccessfully, and if you are, simply recast.
Fishing Poles
As you know, you’ll need to have a fishing pole equipped to catch fish in WoW Classic. And surprisingly, there’s a few different fishing poles in the game, each with their own requirements and abilities to increase your fishing skill.
The first is the fishing pole, which you can get from the fishing supply and trade supply merchants. The next is the Blump Family Fishing Pole, which has a +3 bonus and requires 1 fishing skill, which you can get from completing the quest ‘The Family and the Fishing Pole’ from Gubber Blump in Auberdine. Next, is the Strong Fishing Pole, which has a +5 bonus and requires 10 fishing skill and is obtained from fishing supply and trade supply merchants. There’s also the Big Iron Fishing pole, which has a +20 bonus and requires 100 fishing skill and is rougly a 5% chance from the Shellfish Trap in Desolace. Then, there’s the Nat Pagle’s Extreme Angler FC-5000 (Horde only), which has a bonus of +25 and requires 100 fishing skill, accessed by completing the ‘Snapjaws, Mon!’ from Katoom the Angler, found in the Hitlerlands. Lastly, there’s the Arcanite Fishing Pole, which has a massive +30 bonus, and requires 300 fishing skill, being a reward from winning the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza.
