El's Professions - World of Warcraft Guides

Expected Patch 3.3 changes to fishing:

• Never catch junk from pools. Fish any pool successfully with skill 1.
• Kalu'ak Fishing Derby, Saturdays 14:00. Read strategies (or contribute).
• Enchant Gloves - Angler, +5 skill. Enchanters' formula from Indu'le Fishermen, Mystics or Warriors at Lake Indu'le.
• Cooking slightly easier to level near 450 skill.

El's Anglin' has been updated. A few other minor changes have been reported (thanks).

In the latest test version of patch 3.3, the Kalu'ak Fishing Derby starts at 14:00 every Saturday, instead of Wednesdays.

The rewards for patch 3.3's new Kalu'ak Fishing Derby have been announced - read below for details. This is useful for contestants:

"Because of the increased concentration of fish [Pygmy Suckerfish], you have an increased chance to catch a shark from fishing pools."

This pool skill change is more interesting:

"Don't forget, in patch 3.3.0 you never catch trash from fishing pools, regardless of skill."

Never catch junk from a pool, even at skill 1. Kalu'ak Fishing Derby rewards below. Read more »

From 3.3 patch notes:

"The all-new Kalu’ak Fishing Derby, a test of fishing skill with a healthy dash of luck, has come to Northrend! Every Wednesday beginning at 8 PM players can try to catch the elusive Blacktip Shark. Elder Clearwater sits in Dalaran for one hour awaiting the return of the quickest, most experienced fisher to bring him this shark. This champion fisher will be rewarded in-kind for returning with the first catch. Those who aren't able to return with the first catch will still receive just reward for getting the Blacktip Shark to Elder Clearwater before he takes his leave. It is said that these sharks' favorite meal are the bite-sized Pygmy Suckerfish. Perhaps a hook in their waters will do the trick."
