I went off to Scaret Monastery to fish these - the top pool in the Chapel Gardens (Cathedral wing) is perfect; quiet in an instance with my actual drop rate around 72-75% (with the rest being Bristle Whisker Catfish).

Comment by Kaynos

You can fish TONS of them in Desolace also with a similar 75% drop rate.

I ve found a place in Stranglethorn vale, where u can fish this: 35.5 24.4. Surrounded by murlocs.

You can use these fish for a cooking recipe bought in booty bay. The recipe requires 175 cooking skill. Its a nice and easy way to level your cooking and fishing at the same time.

I fished these on Janeiro's Point in STV at about 23.5,70 with a really good drop rate. Some raw bristle whisker catfish also dropped.

Comment by 284953

Wowhead is reporting a 65% drop rate for this fish in Thousand Needles, when most guides and players say Desolace is best. Can anyone verify this?

Comment by 290733

In Arathi Got only 52% drop ...

Comment by 240345

I went to Stranglethorn Wale and the point 41,19 to fish and got this fish VERY often.

Comment by MagnusGL

It seems like the droprate increases with fishing skill. Can someone verify this?
And can someone tell me what level you have to be to get around 80% droprate, instead of all the tattered cloth, driftwood, old boots, rocks and the all so famous weeds.

Edit: added links, corrected typos.

Edit2: You can even get water snails. >.>
Edit3: And you can get an empty rum bottle. Is there no end to this god-damned junk?

you are very correct, and nicely posted

Desolace worked really well for me (at the "pond" at 60.4, 20.7), about 75% of the casts resulted in a Raw Mithril Head Trout. At about 220 fishing skill, you won't be pulling out any grey items anymore.

Dustwallow seems to be very good for fishing these up too. Hit the first pond I came to (north of the tower close to town, sorry I don't have coords), and 90% of what I fished up was the trout, the rest was the Bristle Whisker. Hope this helps.

Comment by Crystallyne

I like to level up my fishing and cooking together, and use the fish as my primary food as well, for recovering health. At level 25, it was time to replace my food, and Mithril Head Trout was the way to go. Except that the zones where Trout is caught is generally mid-30s level!

After reading the comments here, I decided to try Arathi Highlands. Standing at one of the pools outside of Stromgarde Keep, I was able to fish without worrying about mobs attacking me. My fishing skill was high enough I didn't catch any junk. In the time I spent there, I got the following:

93 Raw Mithril Head Trout
60 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
1 Greater Healing Potion (That was... random... heheh)

So that's roughly a 60% catch rate on Trout, if I'm calculating correctly. There may be higher catch rates elsewhere, but at level 25 aggro might be an issue. In Arathi Highlands the most dangerous part is the road to and from Stromgarde Keep, but as an alliance I was never attacked, and made two trips on consecutive days to do my fishing.

Happy Fishing!

Comment by lightshammer

As of Cata release the Arathi Highlands spots only yielded Mud Snapper and Catfish. Fished for over an hour without 1 Mithril Head.

I was getting a lot in Western Plaguelands by that dock in Andorhal (41,76)(Was facing the dock), as I shaman I had Water Walk and was sitting in the middle of the stream casting my line at the dock, had about a 76% drop rate, rest of it was catfish, my fishing skill is only 210

I caught exactly 100 fish and this is what I got:

Raw Mithril Head Trout (76)
Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish (23)
19 Pound Catfish (1)

Western plaguelands 1st cast - 41:76

Comment by 778141

Just repeating what was said, outside Brackenwall Village in Dustwallow Marsh, in the pond to the South is a good spot with a drop rate no lower than the other places imo. I guess it would be around 65% or more. You will catch a majority of Raw Mithril Head Trouts and the rest will be Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish.

Comment by stuartthompson

Fished one up just south of Andorhal, WP in 4.0.6. First cast.

Comment by 625564

Desolace pools near the gelkis village (41.60, 79.80) i've been hiiting mithril head about 70% and raw bristlewhisker catfish the other 30%

Comment by 927115

Taking Jazane's advice, I fished right off of the Andorhal dock (Death Knight using Path of Frost to stand in the river) and out of 100 casts I got;

62 Raw Mithril Head Trout
36 Raw Bristle Whisker Catfish
a 19 Pound Catfish and 1 Greater Healing Potion.

Fishing skill was 351 when I started, I also got 24 pts in fishing as well while gathering the Raw Mithril Head Trout. Thanks for the advice. =)

There are no longer any fish at all in the pools of chapel gardens in the Scarlet Monastery much to my dismay.

Western Plaguelands. Aren't in schools. Just fish in open water. I got a bunch of them there.

Comment by skagos

In desolace at Shadowprey Village you can't fish Raw Mithril Head Trout anymore. But with a very high drop rate you can fish Raw Rockscale Cod at there which's recipe you can find at the fishing NPC in Ogrimmar.

Comment by 333762

Fished 20 of these with my 200 fishing skill level in about 15 minutes in Western Plaguelands (58, 90) from the bank of the river. I wasn't looking for them, but they started jumping onto my fishing hook after I fished out a pool of Raw Greater Sagefish, which is what I was hunting for (along with turtle meat and tangy clam meat).

Comment by Moibhehm

These are easily fished in Dustwallow Marsh - you don't need a pool - I flew to Mudsprocket and fished the nearest pond on the side the flightmaster is on, although I would say you could fish any pond nearby.
I caught over twenty in just a few minutes.

Comment by Aienia

Just catched one in the Hinterlands, round pool in the middle of the zone after just a few casts. (doing Limnologist achievment)

Comment by Maroozie

You can catch these fish at a lake located at 40.64, 59,46 in the Hinterlands. Acquired at any fishing skill, no need to fish inside a school.

Comment by Rewnzor

Caught at Darrowmere lake WPL at 66 classic fishing.

Comment by Dragonmyth

For what it's worth I started at 140 fishing on Western Plagueland side of Thondroril and caught nothing but trash ( no lure) and at about 180 I started to catch Raw Mithril Head Trout and some Raw Bristle Wisker Catfish the about 200 I was catching most mithril and some catfish at 211 I went to the log that is sticking out from the Eastern Plagueland side ( 8.06, 63.26 )and started catching trash again with some Raw Redgill and Raw Nightfin Snapper. Then i moved to the Western Plagueland side ( 69.90, 48.05 ) of that same log and started to catch ( no trash ) Raw Mithril Head Trout and some Raw Bristle Wisker Catfish again at 222 I was catching just Raw Redgill mostly on the eastern side. LOL This in MoP classic
