How to farm Raw Brilliant Smallfish

Fish Elwynn Forest’s Crystal Lake or Stonecairn Lake. A starting Fishing skill is sufficient; a basic lure helps reduce failed catches. Keep Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper for the next Cooking recipe as well.

Classic Era, TBC and Wrath use the original Azeroth terrain. Cataclysm and Mists use the reworked world, so use a route for your realm’s terrain.

See Fishing leveling for progression and related materials.

Fish open water for Raw Brilliant Smallfish and Raw Longjaw Mud Snapper. You can remain at a safe bank; circling the entire lake is unnecessary. Markers identify approximate areas on the original world map. Lines are suggested searches, not guaranteed spawn locations. Cataclysm changed this terrain.
