TheWoWDBWoW Forever Fishing guide
Follow the reported skill bands and compare the fish you catch with Cooking ingredients.
The Fishing reference supplies the reported progression through 225. Catch locations and learning instructions are attributed reports, not our own gameplay tests.
Your next gathering session
Skill 1–75
The reference recommends starting-zone water. Equip a fishing pole, apply your lure, cast and click the bobber after its splash.
Skill 75–150
Return for Journeyman training. The reference recommends capital-city water and lists nearby zones as alternatives. If fish escape, check your lure.
Skill 150–225
The reference names the Expert Fishing book sold in Booty Bay for the next rank. It recommends Dustwallow Marsh water with Bright Baubles; check its linked requirements before traveling.
Watch actual skill gains and return for training when your current rank stops you. No numerical skill-up chance is assumed.
The reported progression here stops at 225. The linked reference describes later training, which this guide has not independently tested.

Check your next rank of training before traveling. The Forever profession reference reports learning instructions; we have not independently tested them in game. Source checked 5 October 2026.
If your skill cap blocks progress, check the linked training instructions before continuing. A recipe listed here may need a trainer, purchased recipe or quest that your character has not completed.
