Using a Fishing Pole in WoW

Fishing is a popular pastime in World of Warcraft. It is a good way to lazily spend the day if you don't have any good quests lined up and none of your friends are currently online. Additionally, it provides your character with items, both commonplace as well as occasional valuable items drug up from the bottom of the water.

Instructions

1 Locate a "Fishing Trainer." Trainers can be found near rivers and lakes. Talk to the trainer and learn the fishing skill.
2 Buy a fishing pole. Poles are bought from "Fishing Supplier" NPCs, a regular in most towns.
3 Buy bait for your fishing pole. Bait is also purchased at "Fishing Suppliers."
4 Find a safe body of water for fishing. Don't plan on angling with hordes of monsters nearby.
5 Remove your weapon and shield.
6 Equip the fishing pole and face the water.
7 Open the "Abilities Menu" and select the fishing skill. You may want to drag this skill into your "Hotbar" if you plan on doing a lot of fishing.
8 Use the fishing skill by simply clicking on it. If your character does not begin casting the fishing pole, try moving around a bit to get into a better position near the water.
