Catches Halved to Level Fishing
In patch 4.3, the typical number of catches required to level fishing from 1 to 525 has roughly halved, from just over 3,000, to a total of about 1,400. The number of catches at each skill point is now also much more variable above 300 skill, especially above 450. From 450 to 525 fishing skill, one point of skill can take between 1 and 13 catches to gain. The latest skill-up table can be found here. Update: Fishing and Cooking guides have now been re-written for patch 4.3, including an entirely new 300-525 pool option.

WotLK: Fishing Skill-Up Catches Slashed
The number of catches required to skill-up fishing in Wrath of the Lich King has more than halved: Fishing skill 1 to 375 now needs about 655 catches, compared to 1,700 catches before. 375 to 450 only takes about 315 catches. 1 to 450 in under 5 hours! We assume this change is intended ((it has been in beta for at least a week)). We also assume that 1-375 will become much faster with patch 3.0, which is expected to be released in a few weeks. Leveling fishing should get a lot easier! Browse the new skill-up table.

- The skill required to fish in Silmyr Lake has increased to 405 to cast, 500 to stop get-aways.
- Barbed Gill Trout can no longer be caught in Shadowmoon Valley.
