Pools appear at a fixed set of possible "nodes" within each zone. Not all these points will have a pool at any one time, as discussed in the Spawning section. In most zones, each possible spawning location may contain any of the pool types that appear in the area. For example, a node on the coast of Hillsbrad Foothills may contain a Firefin Snapper School, Oily Blackmouth School, or Schooner Wreckage Pool. Coastal and inland pools are completely separate. So inland pools in Hillsbrad Foothills will only ever contain School of Sagefish or Floating Wreckage Pools.

Wreckage pools may appear instead of any other pool in Azeroth, except for Muddy Churning Water, Patch of Elemental Water, School of Tastyfish and School of Red Snapper. The pool name, and type of trunk caught, depends on the area the pool is found in.

Pools called "School of Red Snapper" can be found in Ammen Ford, Azuremyst Isle. These pools cannot be fished conventionally: See the Unusual Pools section.

Outland Pools

Outland has a completely different set of pools. They are fished in the same way:

Outland Schools
