So I went to Frostfire Hot Springs (37,38) in Winterspring to fish for these. I started at fishing skill 248 and used Nat Pagle's Extreme Angler FC-5000 (+20 Fishing Skill). I used 3 Bright Baubles for a total of 30 minutes of fishing and this is what I caught:
Raw Whitescale Salmon 33 Raw Sunscale Salmon 10 Raw Nightfin Snapper 11 Raw Redgill 2 Lightning Eel 10 Plated Armorfish 8 15 Pound Salmon 1
Hope this helps. Good Hunting.

From the patch notes, and my experience, you can now fish anywhere. With low skill you will need a lure to minimize the amount of "junk" you get. i.e.:tattered cloth, tangled fishing line, driftwood, etc. Most sell for a few copper, the tattered cloth sells for 1 silver each. I don't know how much those contribute to raising fishing skill or if they have no effect. Happy fishing!
I was trying to get my cooking skill up so I found a recipe that called for raw whitescale salmon. I saw the posting about Frostfire Hotsprings and this was my experience. I fished for 40 min and this is what I caught; 26 sunscale salmon 32 whitescale salmon 10 redgill 4 lightning eel 1 18 # salmon (weapon)
Several tips: USE something to increase your fishing (I used baubles). This is a must--without it I got the message "Fishing 330 required". Be patient--several times I got the message "Your fish got away".
The bottom line was I increased my fishing skill as well, (from 311-318). Not wonderful but I thought it was OK. I cooked some fish and my cooking went from to 290-300. At this point I had to go Hellfire Peninsula and get the Master Cookbook. After getting "trained" as a Master Cook, I cooked some more of my fish and ended up with a skill of 317. Not too bad for an hour's work! Have fun.
Here are my stats after about 3 hours at Frostfire Hot Springs:
Item count % of total
Raw Whitescale Salmon 166 40.99
Raw Redgill 19 4.69
Raw Sunscale Salmon 48 11.85
Plated Armorfish 55 13.58
Lightning Eel 37 9.14
Raw Nightfin Snapper 75 18.52
Major Healing Potion 2 0.49
Superior Mana Potion 2 0.49
29 Pound Salmon 1 0.24
Fished up and down the coasts of both these zones in the Veiled Sea and had absolutely zero Whitescale Salmon. Never had received a "Your fish has got away" message while working these coasts either.
Fished off the elite turtle beach in Tanaris and did not catch any Whitescales and never got any "Your fish has got away" messages.
I've only just made my way to Centarion Hold in Silithus, (and haven't done much exploring yet) so not sure if there's any open coast here or not or if it's this section of the Veiled Sea coast that is supposed to have Whitescales in it.
Jademir Lake in Feralas. Dragonkin elite all over the place. Cast a underwater breathing spell and gingerly snuck up the lake staying in the center of the channel til I found a sheltered cove in the north. 305 Fishing skill is not sufficient to fish here. Added a bright bauble, boosted to 380 and was able to fish. Prolly had about 30-40% rate of "Your fish got away" messages. After 4 baubles caught 22 Whitescale, 2 stacks of Nightfin, alot of Redgill, several Plated Armorfish, and 2 or 3 each of mana/healing pots and 1 ironbound locked trunk.
Buddy was involved in beta for AQ. States Whitescale for Silithus is only fishable by gaining entry to AQ, then moving up the coast of AQ until you are on the Silithus map. He says was able to fish Whitescale in Silithus that way but he did not catch any while off the coast of AQ.
You can simply swim the coast of Silithus. You need maxed out fishing skill and something else like an Aquadynamic fish attractor to be able to fish there. I fished right near the empty Tauren farm, caught a bunch of these.
Raw Whitescale Salmon 33
Raw Sunscale Salmon 10
Raw Nightfin Snapper 11
Raw Redgill 2
Lightning Eel 10
Plated Armorfish 8
15 Pound Salmon 1
