Our WoW Classic: Fishing Skill Level By Zone List features a look at how much you will have to have leveled your fishing up to fish in certain zones without finding junk in the water! In general, you will want to stick to places that are around the same level. This is particularly important if you are on a PvP server, because you’ll be a prime target for getting ganked. Fishing can be a very lucrative profession, so leveling it up in the right areas is a great way to gain some gold!

Fishing Level By Zone Requirements

Once you reach the following skill levels in fishing, you should be able to fish at the listed areas without ever fishing up junk. Each time you cast, you should only catch fish that are available in those specific waters. Some areas have multiple sections that might have higher level requirements.
