Thunder Falls

Thunder Falls is a quest for level 10-90. It rewards 1 reward item, 1 reputation reward, 9,500 experience and money. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

Arnold and I have been fishing in and around Stormwind for years now. That's the kind of time it takes to find a good fishing spot. One of my favorites is called Thunder Falls.

It's just south of Stormwind in Elwynn Forest. Best part about Thunder Falls is the violet perch. I have never seen them anywhere else, only up there at the falls. It's a bit of hike for me and Arnold to get out there these days though, do you think you could head up there and fetch some of those perch for us?

No need to go that far out of your way... but points for determination! ;D
For those without cords....
Once you leave the front gates of Stormwind make a right and head toward Mirror lake, staying close to the mountains. You'll see the path on your right just before you reach the falls. If you cross the river, you've gone too far. The path isn't steep at all, you can run/ride up and reach the river above the falls easily. There are a few low lvls roaming the area, about lvl 10. You can fish anywhere along this river and catch the fish you'll need for the quest.

If you're just learning how to fish, you'll need to level your skill a little bit before you can catch these Violet Perch. My wife just learned fishing and had 0 skill and could not catch these at all. Luckily she was able to just go down below the waterfall and level her skill up to 20 and then was able to catch the Violet Perch just fine.
