Gearcutter Cogspinner right next to the engineer trainer sells the hair trigger for 90 silver(base price, 75 silver at exalted). Go to the Deeprun Tram at the Ironforge station for the rat trap. You need to gather three.

Considering Gnomish engineering (and tech in general) I wouldn't be surprised if this fished up Godzilla or one of his drinking buddies from Japan.
I question the logic of a fishing trap that is essentially a rat trap with a hair trigger with a shiny bauble on top. o.O

Description
One o' the gnomish engineerin' trainers gave me a blueprint fer a fancy lure he says'll help me catch fish faster and keep 'em from gettin' away. The whole thing sounds a mite silly if ye ask me, but I'll try anythin' once. Here are the blueprints. Ye're going to need shiny baubles, which ye can buy from my assistant inside the buildin', a hair trigger ye can buy from an engineerin' supplier in Tinker Town, and a few rat traps from the Deeprun Tram.
