Fishing Changes in BfA
You now catch the same number of fish regardless of your fishing level.
In BfA each expansion has it’s own profession tier with a max level.
- Classic professions max out at 300
- Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King, Cataclysm, and Mists of Pandaria professions max out at 75
- Warlords of Draenor and Legion professions max out at 100
- Battle for Azeroth professions max out at 150
In BfA Fishing now has a seperate skill depending on your faction, [Kul Tiran Fishing] for (Alliance) and Zandalari Fishing for (Horde), everything else is still the same between the two.

You can learn this fishing training at any level, which is a welcome change.
