Description

Herring is one of the most sought-after fish in Darnassus, but not just any herring. The Kaldorei herring is native only to the waters surrounding Teldrassil.

I try to keep a good supply of it because it's so versatile! I just finished smoking a batch of it, so I need to rebuild my stocks. Would you mind helping me? You can catch Kaldorei herring by fishing in Rut'theran Village.

Oops...

The map of Teldrassil above is showing the locations of the Webwood Lurker. NOT for the Kaldorei Herring. Something tells me that you aren't going to be able to find many fish where the dots are.

Spider meat, maybe, but no fish.

For the real map for the fishing hole you need, click this: Kaldorei Herring

(I'll delete this post whenever WowHead fixes the map link.)

Edited for spelling.

Rut'theran Village is at the base of the Tree at Teldrassil (where the ship drops you off from Stormwind) before you go through the portal to enter Darnassus.

I wish people who posted comments would always include location information.
Never assume that we know where it is you are talking about.
