TheWoWDBAs of 6.0 these mounds are really hard to find. I suggest scrolling camera in to first person and slowly moving mouse around screen until you get the gear icon. I actually did not see any thing in the ground but the gear eventually showed and i clicked, went passed it a few times but eventually with some patience was able to find it. Good Luck.

Great Tip! If you want to turn the sparkles back on go to interface> display> "Outline Mode" set to disable. Sparkles are back!
The worms are found in Worm Mounds which are nearly invisible objects around the pond, so just keep looking for the mounds.

Description
Hey there, Angler! Arnold here tells me that you have been looking for a new fishing spot and I think I know just the place. North of Stormwind there is a great little spot called Olivia's Pond. The pond is stocked with crystal bass every year but they are hard to catch. They only bite on a very specific type of bait... overgrown earthworms. If you search the shore around the pond, you should find plenty of worms to use as bait.
