In vanilla, I could make a character, get to Tanaris, and fish in pools there with low skill. Just skill level 1 perhaps. Now, even with skill 100 and the +5 pole and a +75 lure (skill 180 total), I get “skill to low” messages. I am quite certain this was not true in vanilla.

I’ve been finding the same thing. Seems like lures aren’t counting toward skill level for fishing restrictions. I’m in a 250 area atm with 225 + 75 lure and it won’t let me cast.
I’ve also been finding that in high level areas where I can cast, I can successfully fish up an empty loot window. Tanaris beach for example with over 50 ‘successful’ casts, all I get is an empty loot window.

Private servers often removed restrictions but it was infact a vanilla mechanic.
Not this time. I have never played on a private server: only standard Blizzard servers. There is something wrong with fishing.

Fishing is indeed bugged, as many of us expert vanilla anglers have noticed.
You even gain skill ups but no fish, even in low level zones and high skill
