Fishing is one of the WoW’s secondary professions, together with cooking and first aid, which is considered as one of the most difficult to level up. Until the BC expansion, there weren’t many players who thought of fishing as useful. Together with the expansion in cooking which brought us many new food recipes useful for raids, fishing finally became more wanted and valued as a secondary profession. Wrath of the Lich King expansion in 2008 brought us also expansion in fishing. With the new achievements in professions, new daily quests and expansion in cooking, fishing has become more popular than ever. Click here for more on fishing: WoW Fishing and Cooking Guide
By doing all of the fishing achievements you will be granted a special title “Salty” which, we can surely say, is quite difficult to get and there aren’t many players with it. In order to get this title you will need to do series of fishing achievements like The Coin Master which has three parts - A Penny For Your Thoughts, Silver in the City and There’s Gold In That There Fountain. It will require you to win a Booty Bay fishing competition, find different fish schools, catch various fishes and many more.
As you can see, fishing is very useful, and it can be quite profitable too. If you decide to level up fishing you don’t need to level up cooking as well, however, these two professions are a perfect match so an advice would be to level them both together.
How can I make money with fishing?
Well, the answer is simple - fish! There are many areas on the map where you can find ideal fishing spots. Selling raw fish is also very profitable and stacks of various fishes are sold on the Auction House in the split of a second. If you have also leveled up cooking try to make high level food and see how making gold with these two professions is easy. There are various foods made from fish that can increase stats of any class, like spell power, spirit, stamina, hit rating, crit rating, haste rating, agility, strength, attack power, etc.
There are also special recipes for food which hunters can use to buff their pets and also recipes for the fish feasts that can buff the whole raid. This special feast is made from different sorts of fish found in Northrend and Northern Spices, which you can get with the cooking dailies found in Dalaran. The Fish Feast is useful because anyone in your group/raid can eat it and receive 80 attack power, 46 spell power and 40 stamina bonus on stats for 1 hour.

Fishing is without any doubt one of the most valuable second professions, which, together with cooking, can provide some great bonuses. However, anybody who ever tried or leveled fishing can tell you that leveling of this wonderful profession goes slower than with any other.
In order to level fishing, a player needs to have an adequate fishing pool equipped, plenty of lures which will serve as a fishing skill increase buff and to choose the zone that suits them best for fishing. Apart from that it will go same as it would go in real life - with plenty of patience. You will need to cast the pool in the water and wait for the fish to bite.
If you think it is going way too slow, don’t give up yet. Take your time, and keep in mind that with this profession you shouldn’t be in a rush and that by doing daily quests you will also gain a lot on your skill. Be patient and you’ll see that it will be easier and more fun with the dailies. For a comprehensive guide on all aspects of WoW check out the WoW Ultimate Guide Review
