This is a summary of the bugs I have encountered while playing the beta and testing fishing.
- Brisky Whisker Catfish, when cooked does not provide +8 to fishing
- Fishing rack does not provide a lure
- Fishing rack does not provide the fish bowl buff
- Fishing poles no longer appear when other players are fishing.
Notes:
It seems the rate skill ups and catch rates for fishing was nerfed in the last pass.
Previous testing it took about 90 minibus of time spent fishing to go from 1 to 225. Its now taking around 3 hours to go from 1-225. I don’t see this in the notes, was this intentional?

Luremaster legacy perk seems to be working now. YAY
Fishing rack buff no longer provides bloated fish at same rate.
225 fishing lvl 20. Testing in tanaris and redridge:
20 min of tanaris fishing - no bloated fish even with rack buff (and lure).
~30 min of fishing in redridge - 2 bloated. (edited with a bit more data)

Updated testing looks really bad for leveling fishing.. The jump in the time it takes seems to have gone a little too hard.
- 1-75 25-30 min.
- 75-150 45-60 min
- 150=225 3-5 hours.

The rate has a pretty large variation. I’ve spent an autistic amount of time fishing and found I average around 7 per hour but I’ve had individual hours that produce as low as 1 and as high as 14. I don’t think they have changed anything. You’re just experiencing the RNG of the fishing bonus.
I still fish with my wand if I have a wand equipped. It’s annoying. Bobbers also don’t always appear right away, so if you’re aiming for a school, and you’re casting over and over until you land in the school, you often have to wait a few moments for the bobber to appear after you cast to see if youre in the school.
