Fishing in ForeverDB — open water vs. pools
Why ForeverDB keeps open-water fishing per zone and fishing pools separately, and how to compare catches between zones.

Editorial sample. This article demonstrates the publishing system and has not been through final editorial review. Figures it mentions refer to the synthetic preview dataset.
ForeverDB records open-water fishing as one virtual source per zone, for example Fishing - Tirisfal Glades. Fishing pools are recorded as their own sources, because pools have different catches.
Comparing zones
Search the database with the acquisition filter set to Fishing to list every fishing zone with observations, then open each zone's fishing page to compare catches.
Pool positions are approximate
The game does not always expose a pool's exact position, so ForeverDB projects it from where you were fishing. Pool locations are best-effort and are aggregated to a coarse grid.
