Gone Fishin’ Give-Away Winner
Congratulations to Beverly, the winner of the Gone Fishin’ Give-Away. Mrs Master Dwarf enjoys fishing in the Barrens. She was particularly pleased to learn that the chair comes with liquid refreshment. For some reason. Thanks to WoWTCGLoot for the prize, and to all 262 anglers that entered.
Your cast didn’t land in fishable water
Thuiljos, on the issue preventing many casts:
We are aware of the current issues with fishing. Players who experience the error “Your cast did not land in fishable water” can resolve the issue temporarily by stepping slightly into the water and attempting to cast again.
Standing in the water may help, but is not always a solution – further discussion.

Book of Glyph Mastery Drop Rate Increased
“The book of glyph mastery has had its drop rate increased.”
The Book of Glyph Mastery is used to research most of the new glyphs. Glyph of Envenom has also been removed.

Post-patch discoveries, mostly via the forums (thanks for all the contributions so far):
- Ulduar fishing. Fish also caught in Icecrown, Storm Peaks and Zul’Drak. And now Naxxramas.

- Extreme Angler FC-5000 has been reduced to a +20 bonus. DPS on many poles reduced, and level restrictions removed. Stamina bonus removed from Seth’s Pole. Kalu’ak pole change not intended.

- Phased Orgrimmar fishing removed.
- Dark Herring seems more common.
- Fix: Dalaran Cooking dailies require level 65 again.
