I found him at 82,78, in the shallow water just North of Umbrafen Village. I was able to solo him as a 62 frost mage. He was immune to snare/rooting - I had to resort to bouncing agro with my pet and a couple ice barriers, luckily he didn't hit *too* hard.

Found him at 82, 72... and he spawns somewhere around there too ;) Very easy elite.
i kinda cheated at this quest. i happened to pick up the escort quest "escape from umbrafen", and the escort is a healer and pretty much can't die. when we were walking by boglash, i tossed a throwing knife at it, and the escort healed me through it. so anyone could do it solo, regardless of the level.

Description
Have you observed your surroundings closely, {name}? This is an ailing landscape, struggling to keep itself in balance and losing the fight. If you know where to look, you can see the symptoms. Members of some species rapidly outgrow their peers and become more aggressive. A good example of this uncontrolled growth is the marshtrekker Boglash. If you wish to see it for yourself, look no further than the waterways south of the refuge. Be prepared to defend yourself. The creature knows no mercy.
