I'm in fishing in the lake at Moonglade at 11:35 PM and my nightfin drop rate is about 30%.

I caught about 50 of these between 04:30 and 05:30 server time in Lake Mennar in Azshara. I caught 14 when fishing for an hour at 22:30-23:30 server time, so it seems they are more active between the 00:00-06:00 time frame.

Happy fishing!

Verdantis river is south of Dire Maul, slightly to the southeast.

In 10 mins I caught:

7 Raw Nightfin Snappers
1 Raw Mithril Head Trout
2 Oily Blackmouths
16 Raw Redgills

I had 215 in fishing skill and used a +100 lure (the aquadynamic fish attractor).
It was 02.00 at night.

For those of us lower level players looking for this fish - be carefull about the area north of the twin colosus - I was there this morning and told I was too low level to fish here (my fishing is at 245). I caught some of these fish in the Hinterlands with no attractors except for Big Iron pole. Anyway, the area north of the twin colosus is crawling with level 61, 62 and 63 dragonkin elites.

weird i did the fishing quest and i got like 20 in under 30 mins in feralas

what sucked was that it took me that time to get the quest fish :(

I like to fish in the pond right next to where you fly in.

have been decreased alot the drop rates? i cant cach they like before :(

Nightfin CAN be caught in the morning time because i've caught 4 this morning in Twin Colloassas (sp)

Also caught raw sunscale fish oily black mouth and a crap load of redgill fish, and some mithril fisi too.

No idea what you are all on about. The best place to catch these is from the Verdantis River in Feralas. You can catch them during the day, but the drop rate is higher at night. I dont use a Lure, my skill is 300, plus 25 on my rod.

You can catch them day and night,i normally fish them in EPL, and get about 10 in 20 minutes, there are the common fish for that place

I get these in moonglade. Oily blackmouth is also useful. Toss the red gill.

People like Kempion crack me up.. go you!

The biggest problem with 40+ per hour is having the mental stamina to sit there for an hour.. I know I fish for 5 minutes and I'm already bored to tears. If I ever sit there for a full hour I will report how many I caught.

Anyways... I don't have a need to hide information from everyone so the places I can catch these reliably (meaning 1 in every 3-4 casts on average) is

Verdantis River in Feralas
Skulk Rock (the river that runs by it) in Hinterlands

I've tried Azshara and I've tried Un'Goro but I just can't seem to get the same drop rates there. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. 300 skill.

-Nah-

You can only catch these at night, around 7PM server time. If you fish in the day, you only catch sunscale.

I fished from 8:10 - 8:40pm server time and caught 6 nightfins and 5 suncsales. This was at Lake Mennar in Azshura.

I found the best place to catch these is the river just north of Fire Plume Ridge in Un'Goro Crater. About 30% of the fish I caught there were Nightfin. Majority was Raw Redgill, with some Mithril Head Trout and Blackmouth mixed in. Anywhere else I tried I could only manage about 5% rate of Nightfin.

Yep, I just found that one out last night.

Anywhere where you catch the sunscale salmon during the day, you can catch the nightfins at night.

And Camp Mojache is also about a 1/4 catch.

This fish has been quite elusive of late. I was able to catch 7 prior to server maint. this morning. When Icecrown came back up, I was able to catch 10 more within approximately 2 hours. (Had tried several times over the past week or so and never caught one). Now, I have fished another 2+ hours and not a single nightfin to be had at Verdantis River. Logged another of my characters in and fished about 20 minutes in Moonglade area with no luck either.

This fish is just plain BROKE or someone hates casters a whole lot! I miss my Nightfin Soup :(

***EDIT*** Fish for these at night time ... have been able to catch them then!!!
