This quest seems to be throwing a lot of people off. The clams aren't in the deeper parts of the lake, but more on the shallow sides of it. The in-game quest helper makes it seem like they are in the center of the lake, but you'll save yourself grief if you keep to the edges. Happy hunting.

The Blue Freshwater Pearl is contained in the Freshwater Oyster which can be found around the coastline and shallow waters up top.
I made a map over all the NPCs for "A Gift for [Name]" daily's and also included where and how to complete them. Enjoy! :)

Description
Old Hillpaw has about a million chickens on his farm... but that's not what he REALLY loves. I saw. He collects blue feathers. I don't realy know where to get a blue feather around here, but I do know where to find some blue pearls! Check the oysters in Cattail Lake to the northwest. I'm sure a blue pearl will look nice with his feather collection!
