TheWoWDBIs completion of this quest line necessary for anything down the line with fishing? That is, is it required for any achievements, reputation or rewards other than the ones from the quests themselves? From my reading about Nat Pagle's friendship and Extreme Angler, I don't see that it is...

Description
Yes, Tethyr is certainly real, and he lives in the waters off Theramore. Has a thing for bright lights. He's the reason they shut down the lighthouse in the first place, you know... And if you light it up again, he'll come right back. But no one in their right mind would do that. So that must be your plan! It's been good sharing a drink with you, but don't blame ol' Nat if Tethyr REALLY turns you into fish bait. If you're going to do this, make sure you consult Major Mills at the Theramore docks.

It' looks like this is not available anymore, since the destruction of Theramore. I can't find the Major any where, but the quest is available, and the question mark appears on the map. / Shrug

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Nat's Bargain
So you found a copy of Dastardly Denizens of the Deep, did you? Well, I can tell you from experience, it's all true. I've even seen a few of 'em with my own eyes. But you want to know about Tethyr. I said I'd make you a deal, so here's what I want you to do.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Take Down Tethyr!
Sea monster or no, we're not going to risk the safety of our shipping. I've ordered our best marksmen to prepare for a confrontation with this Tethyr. The artillerymen have augmented the dock's defenses with three mortars. I'm going to order the lighthouse's lamp illuminated.
