Tips
Zones like Wintergrasp can yield multiple fish species in a single location, reducing total travel time compared to visiting separate zones for single fish.
Bloated fish variants can only be caught from the highest drop-rate fish in a given zone's open water, so focus your bloated fish farming in zones where the target fish has the highest spawn weight.
Fish schools grant faster catches than open water for school-only fish such as Raw Sagefish in Wetlands and Raw Greater Sagefish in Moonglade.
Raw Nightfin Snapper in Moonglade is only available between 6pm and 6am in-game time.
