TheWoWDBYou have to interact with the Whitewater Carp in order to throw them back into the water. Note that they have to actually end up in the water in order to count for the quest total. If they end up on land because they didn't go far enough or were thrown in the wrong direction, they do not count towards the quest.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Spray and Prey
The Bug Sprayer you recovered from Ormgul the Pestilent seems like it could give us an advantage against the drogbar and their insects. Spray the Drogbar with their own alchemy and watch their insects turn against them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lifespring Cavern
The drogbar have taken over my cavern. It is where we Rivermane practice our water magic and get much of the purest healing water in Highmountain. Meet me there and we will cleanse that sacred place of these dark-dwellers.
