WoW Fishing Leveling Guide

This is a World of Warcraft Fishing Guide. If you are looking for ways to make gold please see this Gold Guide. If you are looking for a World of Warcraft leveling guide from 1-70 please see either Horde 1-70 Guide or Alliance 1-70 Guide. Other profession and class guides can be found at Killer Guides.

Fishing is a very important secondary profession. It can provide a lot of inregedients for various alchemy formulas, cooking recipes, or hunters can use it to feed their pets. It is also relatively easy to Powerlevel fishing because no matter where you fish you can go from 1 to 300 there as long as you train so your max skill level of fishing can increase. Here is a fishing guide on how to get from level 1-300. All you need is a fishing pole, maybe some bait, and any type of water.
