Use your fish finder and look for the 'Highland Mixed Schools'; I had excellent luck at Blackwind Lake / Skettis and Lake Era'Noru just outside of Skettis. My Fishing skill is at 358 and I use Seth's Graphite Fishing pole (+20) with a Aqua dynamic Fish Attractor (+100) = 478 total skill lvl; maybe got "Your fish got away" 5 - 10%, but got Crawdads about 45% of the time... the rest was a mixture of Golden Darters, Spotted Feltail, 2 scribed containers giving 2 scrolls of spirit and intellect each, as well Barbed Gill Trout and a mysterious crate (Fel Ore)...
Good Luck!

Im 375 and fish them at
3. Blackwind Lake / Skettis @ 67,80

I got the find fish drop so this makes fishing them cake - I use +100 aqua lurer and I have the +20 pole --- that being said I gather about 27 per hour, very few fish got a away and I get 4 crawdads per hole

After much work, i have the exact coordinates of all 17 spawning locations for Highland Mixed Schools.

Lake Jorune:
48,40
46,40
45,40

Lake Ere'noru:
60,59
58,58
59,60
58,61

Skettis:
63,77
67,74
69,77
69,80
68,79
65,84
66,80
64,78
64,79
63,79

In Skettis they seem to spawn in a clockwise fashion. gl getting these babies!

I believe the Max fishing lvl to fish up by Skettis is 525. Obviously, you would need Aquadynamic fish attractor, the (+20) fishing pole and the rewards from the BB fishing tournament to get there. You can fish here @ lvl 430, but you would need lvl 525 to catch something on every cast.

i have taken my nate angler test.and no matter were i am fishing it is takin like 6 to 8 fish to go up 1 point but all my cookin recipes require fish in outland. can anyone please give me some advise.

thank u..i am on the kirir tor server and alliance side if that helps.and a lvl 65. lock..dont know if any of that helps..

thanks ahead of time .for anyones advice.

I have yet to find a Highland Mixed School in either Lake Jorune or Lake Ere'Noru, but I've found plenty at Blackwind Lake in Skettis. Fished up a bunch of Motes of Water in addition to the usual Furious Crawdads and Golden Darters, but no Magical Crawdad Box yet.

Catched around three Crawdad's on every Fishing School, Blackwind Lake is the place to be. Only some of the Skettis Surgers were annoying that were spawned below the surface :/.

Fishing in Outlands

Fishing Skill: 375 (takes aprox 8-10 hours from 300-375)

My Gear:
Nat Pagles Extreme Angler FC-5000 (+25 fishing)
Nat Pagles Extreme Anglin Boots (+5 fishing)
Thick Cloth Gloves (+2 fishing enchant)
Total of 407

Missing - available from the fishing contest are:
Lucky Fishing Hat (+5)
Arcanite Fishing pole (+35)
Eternium Fishing line (+5 enchant to pole)
Total possible of 427

TERROKAR FORREST (Yes, most of these locations will require you to fly)

Tip: bright baubles (+75 / 10min) are avail in Stonebreaker hold (Horde) at the trade goods vendor.

1. Lake Jorune @ 45,40
no mobs
407 = "Skill not high enough"
482 (w/ Bright Bauble) = often received msg "Your fish got away"
507 (w/Aquadynamic fish attractor) = aprox 30-40% "Your fish got away"

2. Lake Era'Noru @ 60,59
no mobs
407 = "Skill not high enough"
482 (w/ Bright Bauble) = often received msg "Your fish got away"
507 (w/Aquadynamic fish attractor) = occasional "Your fish got away".

3. Blackwind Lake / Skettis @ 67,80
many mobs lvl 70-71
407 = often received msg "Your fish got away"
482 (w/ Bright Bauble) = occasional "Your fish got away"

4. Silmyr Lake @ 38,5
some mobs, easily avoided
407 = often received msg "Your fish got away"
482 (w/ Bright Bauble) = catching all fish

5. small pond @ 39,22
no mobs
407 = occasional "Your fish got away"

6. behind Bonechewer ruins @ 68,57
no mobs
407 = often received msg "Your fish got away"
482 (w/ Bright Bauble) = catching all fish

In the two and a half hours it took me to test these areas I caught the following:

Barbed Gil Trout: 42
Spotted Feltail: 15
Golden Darter: 14
Furious Crawdad: 1- I caught this in a Highland Mix School, which I found on Lake Jorune.
Enormous Barbed Gil Trout (held in offhand: 1 - Also found in a Highland Mix School

To the best of my knowledge furious crawdad are only coming from the highland mix pools, if that is incorrect please let me know. I'm also assuming that the mix can spawn in any of the areas listed by allakhazham, which are the higher fishing skill pools.

Hope this helps, Enjoy :D

Maybe it's just me, but I can't figure out any way to get to the locations listed (Blackwind Lake, Lake Ere'Noru, and Lake Jorune) without a flying mount. Anybody know how to get to these crawdads?
