Highest Tanaris drop rate appears to be in the Steamwheedle port zone.

Hordies have a great advantage here, as schools of stonescale eels appear just next to the pier in the village in Hinterlands. Got 20+ eels/hour for the entire night.

Favorite spot for me is Bay of Storms in Azshara. Catch them by night (server time). If you are not that high level Tanaris is probably a more safe spot than Azshara where you might have to fight level 50 mobs for your fishing spot.

The drop rate of these babies increases from 00.00 until 12.00 (12.00 am to 12.00 pm) by approximately 20%. So it is best to fish them late at night or early in the morning.

These are used for stonescale oil. The oil is used as a reagent for Flask of Petrification, Flask of the Titans, and Greater Stoneshield Potion but the flasks rquire at least 30 of the oils so might take a while for you to get roughly about 30 eel for each oil to make the flasks. The flasks are used as buffs for raid guilds during fights so these are on of the most important reagents in the game.

Saw a Stonescale Eel School @ 23.61 in STV.

Comentado por 15831

I've had a lot of success farming stonescale eels in Stranglethorn Vale. STV is second to only Azshara in terms of the number of eel pools that spawn. Plus fishing in STV, levels 30-45 vs. Azshara, levels 48-55 makes it possible to fish these bad boys at a lower level. Just to be clear, stonescale eels spawn in pools just like oily blackmouths and firefin snapper. Once you find a stonescale pool the catch rate should be pretty damn good.

So what I do is start north of the Vile Reef and work my way south all the way past Booty Bay and then around the bend and up the Crystal Shore.

I think Shaman have a nice little advantage here. I cast water walking and instead of running the route on land, I run on the water right along the shore. Running on water offers a lot of advantages. No annoying mobs attacking you while you fish, very few ally attacks (for the Horde!), and you don't have to navigate terrain changes (i.e. running around hills and mountains to stay on the coastline).

If you get attacked while you're water walking you'll lose the spell effect but I haven't run across any mobs in the water that pop up and get ya. Be interested to know how it works for everybody. If you're on Mug'thol send me a chat.

If you see schools of these - celebrate and fish.

If you do not see schools of these - just go to the next zone on the list unless you really need whatever schools you *do* find.

Fishing these up without pulling them out of their schools has a droprate that is *teh suck*

There are many more spawn points in Booty Bay then those listed, both hubby and I went all the way up and all the way down both coasts till we ran into mountains. Found tons of schools. Fish every single school or wreckage you come across as that spawns more schools and hopefully spawns the schools you want. :-) Hubby said he doesn't think the stonescale eels schools spawn any further north then grom gol on that coast. He fished up and down twice from grom gol to the top of STV and none of the pools respawned as stonescale. Hope this helps someone.

I catch mine off the beach of Feathermoon in Feralas. It is an island off the south west coast of Kalimdor. I usually stand to the left of the fisherman on the beach, not sure that matters. Got 3 in a row today, but usually it is like 1 in 10. I caught a total of 5 in ten minutes. I catch them without lures now and a skill on 234. I think your fishing skill needs to be over 225.

Comentado por Thottbot

yup, i found the same... was fishing them up a lot in steamwheedle until the sun came up... all of a sudden way less eels and i started getting lots of clams, too (not that i mind, the very first one had a golden pearl in it : P). fishing seems to be better at night, really... nightfins rock when cooked...

Comentado por Thottbot

as far as i am aware your best chance of fishing stonescales is with 225 fishing skill and +75 baubles. giving a combined fishing skill of 300. this will be the same wherever you catch the eels.

since the book to give you 225 fishing can only be used at level 20, this is effectively the lowest level you can fish the stonescale eels.

best time to fish the eels is around midnight, when drop rate can be as high as 1 in 2.

stonescales will sell for very good prices, but mostly at weekends. if you mix fishing stonescales and deviate fish (for savory deviate delight) you can get rich very quickly. I regularly shift 50-100 gold worth of fish a week.

Comentado por Thottbot

A little tip for all you aspiring anglers out there looking to hit it rich with Stonescales, their drop rate GREATLY varies depending on when you fish.

Rate greatly increases from 12AM to 12PM (approximately 15%-20% rate increase)

Rate greatly decreases from 12PM on, until midnight. (depending on the zone, it will be no more than a 1% to 2% drop rate)

In order, the best places to obtain Stonescales are:
1. Bay of Storms, Azshara
2. Steamwheedle Port, Tanaris
3. Revantusk Village, Hinterlands (Horde)
4. Feathermoon Outpost, Feralas (Alliance)

(This data is backed by 1000's of fish catches recorded by the Fishing Buddy addon, and is more or less correct.)

Oh, and a common misconception when it comes to fishing in general, Fishing Skill does NOT determine what fish you will catch, it ONLY determines the rate at which "fish get away". If fish are getting away to often, the zone is too high a level for your current skill.

Hope that helps. ;-)

Im Horde on Dunemaul and I have noticed that the stonescale market has gone to hell. I used to be able to sell these things for 95s each, a dozen at a time, and they would all sell out. Ever since patch 1.9 the market has gone to hell. I am thinking its because of everyone out fishing spotted yellowtail for the war effort, with the byproduct being more eels getting caught... hence a greater supply, more competition, and lower prices. Thoughts? It also seems that the drop rate has increased, even in the day time I am getting 11%+ drop rate at steamwheedle.

Comentado por Thottbot

I fish for these in the Bay of Storms. It has the best rate so far. A post above is helpful with the good times to fish but I find that from Midnight til 6:00 am is the best.

I was fishing in BoS from 9am EST til 11am EST and caught 11 Stonescale Eel. Horrible rate at that time. However, I've fished there from midnight til 6am (various 2 hour periods within that time frame) and have caught 40 Eel in 2 hours. I help out our MT for raids so I fish to make him potions.

Now, if you cannot stand fishing for so long or don't think you can stay awake, try this. Pop a movie into your DVD player (need a TV nearby), turn off game music, turn speakers up so you can hear the swoosh and just watch a movie. Whenever you hear the swoosh of catching the fish, just unhook it and cast again. Fishing buddy helps for the recast too if you use that. And make sure it's a good movie!

Comentado por Thottbot

lots of the comments in this thread have referred to 'crap fish' such as oily blackmouths and firefin snappers.

altough not as profitable as stonescale eels, the above fish are used in mid level alchemy and will also sell pretty well.

both of these fish make reagents (blackmouth oil and fire oil) which also sell quite well, and are used to create potions. if you cant be bothered to sell these fish, give them to a mid range alchemist and they will be able to raise their trade skill with them.

As an alchemist and a fisherwoman, i have earned several fortunes from stonies, oilys and fins. i have helped to pay for half the mounts in our guild with the proceeds of fishing, and fishing has made my guild rich.

the good news for fishers is that winter squid have just been replaced by summer bass. this means that the hunters and rogues that have been fishing them for the nice agility buff will more than likely quit fishing till they come back in the autumn. lol so potentially there will be less competition for those of us who are SERIOUS fishers.

Comentado por Thottbot

Yes, ever since the 1.10 patch, the drop rate for stonescale eel has drastically reduced. I have been fishing them for months in both Bay of Storms, Azshara, and Steemwheedle Port, Tanaris. Since patch 1.10, i have spent about 8 hours fishing. The drop rate for bay of storms dropped from about 20% to 2% at best, and the drop rate at steemwheedle has dropped from 9 or 10% to about 2 or 3%. This is rediculous. Blizzard obviously changed the drop rates on these eels because of the the new tier sets that are out and require stonescale oil. The drop rates have effectively been cut to 1/10th of what they were before.

Yes drop rate is way down, I am also an enchanter and can confirm that greater eternal essence has been reduced about the same.

Rates for Stonescale Eels increase after midnight. In daytime its worth fishing only in Feralas and Hinterlands (10-16%). After midnight Azshara and Tanaris spots are getiing better and you can get up to 25% there too.

After a little over 30m of fishing in Feathermoon, I only caught 2 of those Stonescale Eel. In 30m of fishing @ Steamwheedle I caught 10 of them.

My fishing was about 215-225, +5 for a strong fishing pole, +75 for bright baubles in Steamwheedle.

In Feathermoon, it was 231-239, +20 for a big iron fishing pole and +75 for bright baubles. Interestingly enough, I didn't catch any Stonescale Eel until I hit 235, then I caught 2 in a row. Never saw any after that.

Anyone having better luck getting these in Azshara now?

Comentado por Thottbot

I don't know all of my stats, etc - but I do know that I had never caught these before and had 10 within 12 minutes or so off the docks at Revantusk Village. It was around 2:30am server time if that matters. I used lures because my fishing was 207 at the time and my fish were getting away. I don't know how this spot stacks up against the other ones mentioned, but I'm happy. :)

Comentado por Thottbot

I have found that its much more profitable to fish for these at night. After 24:00 GT. If u fish in BoS at that time, 1/4 will be eels..
Or so it was before the last patch. Heard that it can be found in schools now. Havent seen one yet though.

Comentado por Thottbot

With v1.11 Blizzard implemented the Stonescale Eel Fishing Swarms, what you can found all around the world. It's not to hard to found them, all you have to do is walk to the eastern coast of Tanaris and start riding north and south along the coast.

You can found 4 type of fishing schools which are RANDOMLY generated: firefin schools, blackmouth oil schools, stonescale eel swarms and floating wreckedges.

On my server i can make 100g in an hour fishing only from those schools easily. You can found many Mithril Bound Trunks (many bolts of cloth, leathers, lvl ~40 green items), Rumsey Rum Black Label (very good for tanks), Strangekelps (free action potions for example).

There is only one tiny problem with this Schools, they are randomly spawns all around the place. So if you looking only for Stonescale Eels, you have to fish out most of the schools to make them change. But it will worth it, believe me... prices already going down coz of this, but at least we don't have to spend hours in Bay of Storms at nights.

Comentado por Thottbot

They go around 1 gold a piece on shadowsong/eu. Sells like hotcakes in stacks of 10 (I'd assume because of https://www.wowhead.com/cata/quest=8921/o-destilador-ectoplásmico) rather than in full stack of 20.

Still it gets farmed like crazy, not unusual to see half a dozen people on the jetty at steamweedle port.

Comentado por Thottbot

Never fish on daytime, but only between 0:00 and 12:00 because the droprates double in that time.

Go fish on he Forgotten coast, its the best spot and it has a droprate of 20 eels per hour (during nighttime offc.)

Comentado por Thottbot

For anybody thats ever been fishing, night fishing hardcore fishing. You'll know that you fish different fish from different places at different times of the day! Seems that Blizz incorporated that train of thought in this game! which is pretty damn cool.

Ie. Fishing from ponds, pools, lakes, streams ya gonna catch different fish at different times of the day and different weather conditions!

Fish have eating habits the same as you and me different fish have different eating habits hence the stonescale eel come alive at night time... spot of night fishing anyone?

little hint, keep an eye out in STV when it rains... it drives the Stonescales crazy they must think its feeding time, all that pattering of rain on the surface of the water waking them from there sleep on the bottom of the stream!

keyword here = different!

Differentiate from your normal fishing habits and narrow way of thinking and remember Blizz have gone out of their way to incorporate a high element of realism in this game. Don't whine cuz ya dangled ya rod twice in the canal in stormwind expecting to hike out 10 stonescale eels.

Good luck.

You can fish in the water right below the inn in Feather moon strong hold for stone scales. I used lazygirl's bot https://www.wowhead.com/cata/ccb=1&v;=1045043 and I got 12 eels in about 1 or 2 hours. Too bad I lost time because I was watching TV and keep forgetting to push the start button.

During that time there also a lot of raw redgils (useless except for cooking around 230 or pet food). Good thing that now the xx pond catfish can be sold for a bit money.

Just fished 10 eels in 20 minutes (2 lures) by the dock in Steamwheedle Port. My fishing started around midnight server time with a skill of about 225 and just used nightcrawlers (+50) for my lure. Last night I believe I got a couple less than tonight, but for the most part this seems to be a good area. There was a school of Firefin snappers which were nice since my main fishing toon is a mage with alchemy and herbalism for my professions.

Thanks crazy girl, https://www.wowhead.com/cata/ccb=1&v;=1045043. The drop rate is the same on Tanaris and Feathermoon stronghold. I tried to make an 8 hour run on both, but while I was doing on feathermoon I got logged out (friend told me server crashed), and in Tanaris I was logged out too becaue something killed me, most likely some click landed on a turtle. So both ended short but I am not sure how long.

Tanaris made me 26 stonescales and 5 stocks of other fishes, while Feathermoon give me 19 stonescales and 4 stocks of other fishes, so both places is about 20% drop on stonescales.

Comentado por Thottbot

Can confirm a decent drop rate on these at Feathermoon Stronghold as of patch 2.3.2. App. 90 minutes of fishing starting at 3:00 AM world time netted me the following:

• stonescale eel x44
• firefin snapper x25
• raw spotted yellowtail x105
• raw glossy mightfish x50
• raw rockscale cod x33
• big-mouth clam x1
• winter squid x1
• 47-pound grouper x1

Stonescale catches do seem to drop off after sunrise (this is also when the clam and squid made their appearance) but I didn't stick around long enough to really confirm this.

Ok. I know with fishing there is just naturally a lot of speculation/opinon etc mixed in with stats. Which stories and speculation are just a couple of the joys of fishing! However, this post is just the experience I just had fishing Stonescale Eel in Feralas. Just boring stats. :)

Place: Feathermoon in Feralas right next to fishing dude beside dock.
Level of Fishing: 164 (started) Ended: 181
Level of Character: 65 NE Rogue
Type of Rod: Strong Fishing Pole 3.0spd/+5 to fishing level
Type of Lure: Bright Baubles +75/10min until 5:02 and then Aquadynamic Fish Attractor +100/10min for the rest of the time.
Time started: 5:20 server time (EST)--on Jan 29th, its definately dusk and 1/2 an hour in was dark (there has been speculation i think as to whether stonescale eel come out at night...)
Time ended: 6:28

If I didnt use lures at all, I got message: Skill not high enough, even at 181. When I used the Bright Baubles, I got "no fish" 1:2 casts but when used Aqua lures then "no fish" 1:5 casts.

I got my first Stonescale at 5:38. Then switched to Aqua lures at 6:00 and got better results and got Stonescale at 6:02,6:12,6:14,6:17,6:21,6:23,6:26 and leveld skill with each eel caught.

I got also: 40 Raw Spotted Yellowtail, 8 Firefin Snapper, 1 40 Pound Grouper, 8 Raw Glossy Mightfish, 12 Winter Squid, 7 Raw Rockscale Cod, 8 Zesty Clam Meat (from clams), 1 Iridescent pearl (from clams)

I didnt even know I could get Stonescale at my level so that is why I am posting this. :) The Aquadynamic Fish Attractors are lures that i bought from the fish guy (sorry, i really cant remember his name...) in booty bay who is found on bottom level in a shack with a fish hook sign outside, near where dock ramps into water/bay. Once they are sold, they are gone. Have only found them for sale first thing in the morning on Sundays...2s each worth every bit.

Ok just a sugestion, If your going to fish the Pools of fish alone the Forgotten coast, dont finish the "Again With The Zapped Giants". Pick the quest up and get the Zapper, use it to get rid of the giants in your way and then drop the quest when your done farming so you can do it again. Saves time, ammo (im a hunter) and armor repair.

I'm going to talk game mechanics here for a bit so bear with me, I have noticed in my profession as an herbalist/alchemist that when farming herbs they are almost always near a mob That made me think about how the game mechanics make things you need, sometimes hard to get. Have you also noticed this? Anyway, while fishing I started noticing the same influence on nodes. It seemed that a node near a mob would generally produce more of the respective fish. There also seemed to be a direct correlation to debris nodes. While fishing debris I found nodes free of mobs generally drop drinks whereas nodes with nearby mobs would have a higher rate of trunk drops.

Please call me crazy, you wouldn't be the first but I encourage you to at least think about this next time you fish or mine or do any node based activity and see if you find similar results.

I dont get how you guys get so many. My Fishing level has been level 300 for at least 10 months. In one hour of fishing Steamwheatel I net 2-5. That is one hour not 30 minutes and net 12 or anything crazy.
Drop rate even lower for Feathermoon dock.

This isn't anything new this has always been the way it is. I have my hunter parked at Steamwhetel and he fishes there Mon-Fri on my Lunch break at work.
I feed them to my Warrior/Achly

Yes I have had the odd day where I get more. But still my average is under 5 an hour.

I was searching like a mad man on these over many different forum boards and webpages. It seems that this fish bites alot more often during the night then durign the day.
I havent tested this but many other people have confirmed this.

From all the posts I read about the locations of the Stonescale Eels...... I would go to Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris ... Bay of Storms in Aszhara ... off the East coast of the Hinterlands.... any where you have a char level of 40+ (i might be wrong) maybe 45+ and you have a body of water :))

I've only been playing this game for 2 weeks and a couple of days ago I pulled in a trunk with a scroll (I think it was a scroll) that gave me the "find fish" option, similar to the find herbs option for the window in the top right of the screen. Is this not that common an option for people to have? I ask because I see much discussion of where to go and how to find a specific type of fish school. This is a very nice option because I just cursor over he yellow dot and it lets me know exactly what the school contains. Spent less than an hour going up one coast and came away with 15 mithril lockers. Got over 50G for the cloth alone. Considering the most I'd had up to then was 15G at one time, I felt rich!

My favorite spot for Stonescale eel is "Zalashji's Den" on the east coast of Tanaris ... i can get 12 in ½ hour normally !

Fishing report:Thursday

Steamwheedle Port and Feathermoon 8:25-9:25 | Strong fishing pole with aquadynamic fish attractors then switched to bright baubles. Base fishing skill around 210. Mostly spotted yellowtail, some rockscale cod, then several mightfish, a few winter squid as well. Came away with 5 Stonescales. But, it was very streaky. I suddenly hit 2 eels in a row, then huge lull then a couple more. Moved to Feathermoon by this time I had skilled up so fished mostly without skill ups. Hit 3 right away! Then as quickly as they came they were gone.....called it a night at that point.

Totals for approx 1.5 hours
Stonescale Eel: 8
Raw Glossy Mightfish: 19
Winter Squid: 11

Has anyone found a good spot for fishing these babies? The list is long and kinda vague. I'm hoping someone has a favorite spot.

Catching stonescale eels does seem to depend on time of day. In all the zones I've tried (Feralas near Feathermoon Stronghold, Steamwheedle Port in Tanaris, The Hinterlands) my general impression is that the drop rate goes up somewhat after about 10:00 p.m. ST (server time), and perhaps even greater around 12:00 a.m. ST. So be prepared to stay up late.

If I recall correctly, I think I had to be around skill level 200 before I could fish these, and even then it required Shiny Baubles (+75 to fishing)...which are easy enough to purchase.

If you're at skill level 300 and you fish Aszhara, you'll still need some kind of bait. I have a lvl 48 shaman and getting to the Aszhara coast is a bit scary, but it can be done; I just drop Earthbind totems and run like h***. ;-)

If you're an alchemist and you can find them, stonescale eels can be a real moneymaker when used to make Elixir of Superior Defense.

These things don't appear to sell anymore on the AH on my server.. dunno why. I'm the only one selling and the price is reasonable 5g a stack?

Comentado por Allakhazam

Fished from Hetaera's Clutch at nearly 20% rate with another 20% being Summer Bass and the rest being mostly Darkclaw Lobsters. Downside is you need fishing at like 350 to even cast there and at 425 (300 + 100 lure + 25 rod) I still get fish that get away, but the eels make it worth it.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Fished up 23 of these last night in just over an hour. Azshara tloc 51,42 (Shattered Strand, right next to a Wavethrasher corpse on the beach). Was around midnight ST. Fishing Skill was 300, Strong Fishing Pole with Bright Baubles.

With v1.11 Blizzard implemented the Stonescale Eel Fishing Swarms, what you can found all around the world, mostly at Strangethorn Vale and Tanaris. It's not to hard to found them, all you have to do is walk to the eastern coast of Tanaris and start riding from north to south, along the coast.

You can found 4 type of fishing schools which are RANDOMLY generated: firefin snapper schools, blackmouth oil schools, stonescale eel swarms and floating wreckedges.

On my server i can make 100g easily in an hour, with fishing only from those schools. You can found many Mithril Bound Trunks (bolts of cloth, leathers, lvl ~40 green items), Rumsey Rum Black Label (very good for tanks) and some Strangekelps (for free action potions for example) too.

There is only one tiny problem with this, they are randomly spawns all around the place. So if you looking only for Stonescale Eels, you have to fish out most of the schools to make them change. But it will worth it...

Did blizzard change the drop rate on these? A stack sells for 6g on my server now.

I always fish at Feathermoon by the docks. At 300 Fishing with a Big Iron Fishing pole I catch an average of 30 eels per hour.

Comentado por Allakhazam

Are these found in schools?

Comentado por Allakhazam

Spent 30min fishing here last night and caught mostly yellowfin. Also got some mightfish and 7 eels which i sold for 1g each. Rate seems to be about 10% north of the port.
200 fishing + big iron pole + shiny baubles = 295 skill.

Tanaris at night is definitely the place and time to fish these. When I tried fishing there in the day, I got about 6 in an hour. At night I got 20 easily in an hour with a 300 skill, a +5 fishing pole, and nothing but night crawlers. I wouldn't even bother fishing them during the day cause it is totally random. Go at night when nobody else is there and it's easy sailing.

Made 40g on my first batch, 30g on my second. Whoever says raising fishing is useless doesn't know what they're talking about.

Fished from midnight to 6 am server time in ruined reachs, ashazra. Average yield was 20 an hour. From 6am to 10 am average yield was down to 10 an hour. No clams were caught until 6 am.

Clearly the fishing table has stonescale eels in 2 entries. The first is time independent, which is why you can catch some at any time of day. The second is time dependent with clams replacing eels after 6am, resulting in the lower eel yield.

Visited Innkeeper Firebrew today and he has none. so he either doesn't sell it anymore or it's changed to a limited supply...

atm, at least on Turalyon, but prolly everywhere, no fish can be caught in steamwheedle because of a bag. thought you should know.

Try to catch them by going to the isle of dread and run al around it. Use one attraktor and use it up. Go walk to another spot and so on. Worked with me !
They all swimm in the Veiled See

i,ve been asked to fish theese by an lvl60. he ordered 20 of em, and i used five hours fishing, and got 10fishes! :( but he rewarded me 8g anyway.

after farming in jintha alor, i needed some pet food. i was fishing for a few minutes in revantusk for the spotted yellowtail. i ended up getting 8 stonescale in 20 minutes. i wasn't sure if this was just a fluke since it was day time, and i didn't see any swarms.

i'm still happy nonethelss. i'll try again just to see if i can fish in hinterlands for eels in the morning. btw fishing skill is up to 255 with +75

Just got through fishing for about an hour off the end of the dock at Steamwheedle and caught a whole stack of these things. Don't know if they'll sell but I have nothing else to do with them.

My fishing is 425 with 300skill+pole20+luckyfishing hat+5+100 aquadic bait. I catch plenty of these in Bay of Storms(Azhara) and also in feathermoon stronghold(Feralas). Those are probably ur best spots, althought ur fishing has to be at least 330+ to even cast in bay of storms.

Comentado por Allakhazam

tried fishing at tanaris at night. i got 20 eels easy plus yellowtail, firefin, mightfish and others. i also got an iron lock box. you don't even need the fishing swarms for this, just any spot will do.

my skill was 210 with +25 pole and +75 bauble. too bad a stack of eels only goes for 10 - 13g. oh well.

My experience on the Mankrik Classic Server on 10/9/2019

I used 2 x Pega-peixes Aquadinâmico and 10 x Iscas Brilhantes
My pole was a Grande Vara de Pescar de Ferro +20 fishing (You get from Shellfish Traps in Desolace - 1% or so drop rate)

My fishing skill is 300, so I had 420 skill with Pega-peixes Aquadinâmico and 395 with Iscas Brilhantes
I had a rate of around 12% "Your fish got away" messages (didn't have any with the Pega-peixes Aquadinâmico equipped)

I am alliance, and did this entire fishing session in Azshara during morning hours (around 7-9:30 am server time)
I fished entirely in Bay of Storms... (made sure I couldn't cast without the fishing lure beforehand - since the bay requires 330 to even cast)

My results:
27 Enguia Petrescama - 9.6%
46 Lula Invernal
2 Caixote Pesado ( 1 Pó Explosivo Maciço and 1 Combustível de Foguete Goblínico )
4 Baú Resistente Trancado
129 Lagosta Pinçanegra
1 Lagosta de 3 Quilos
19 Rabo-amarelo Mosqueado Cru
31 Grande Parrudo Cru
22 Marisco Boca-grande ( 22 Carne de Marisco Condimentada , 1 Pérola Negra , and 1 Pérola Dourada )

Hope this helps! Good luck, and don't forget your beer!

Best place for me is Tanaris @ AM hours. Almost every other school is Stonescale. In 2h, I can get up to 4 stacks of Stonescale, 2 of Firefin, 2 of Blackmouth and a whole lot of boxes w/ pots, bolts and greens. All that can be worth around 100g depending on your server economy, maybe even more.

The Bay of Storms in Azshara is undisputedly still the most reliable place to farm these with little effort. If you are Horde, grab yourself the +25 fishing rod from the quest in the Hinterlands and bring some Aquadynamic Fish Attractors. Make sure you are 300 fishing. To see if you're in the right spot try casting your rod, it should say fishing level not high enough. Slap on the attractors and start fishing. 1 in 5 times you'll get a stonescale eel. If you can reliably get fish attractors and want to farm these without moving around this is the easiest method.

Tanaris and STV is overfarmed by bots but I have had good luck in Feralas farming these guys. Also, Feralas is a high enough zone to drop mithril trunks for some extra loot :)
