Catching Zangarian Sporefish

Detailed mapping of hard to find areas is shown below.

Commentary: Less than 15% of the catch from open water will be Zangarian Sporefish. Sporefish Schools give an average of 5 Zangarian Sporefish each. Pool fishing is far more effective than fishing open water. There are three different pool types in the set (Brackish, Sporefish and Steam Pump Flotsam). Due to the way pools appear, you may need to fish from all pool types in Zangarmarsh, before fresh Sporefish Schools spawn.
