BEST turtle farming spot (my opinion)

with 3.1 up we all heard about the fishing daily in dalaran and new poles but the mount is the real prize. found all over northrend's fishing schools this mount "rarely" drops....well i'm going to tell you how to obtain the mount in less then one hour!
what you need:
1xfishing pole with +25 fishing or better.
10-20x glow worms (or hooks)
fishing skill of at least 275 (what i started with)
a flying mount. (basic will work)
Optional:anything to boost your fishing skill
first you fly to dragonblight and head to Lake Indu'le. go flying around the water's edge and you will find at least 2-3 dragonfin schools about 2-4 min spawn time each area (note:only up to 3 at a time). now fish in the school till it disappears. get on your mount and fly to the next one (or search for another one).
keep doing that for some time until you find the turtle (took me nearly 45 minutes).
also you might have to bust a few skulls to get to the school (the spirits near the edge)
KEY NOTES:
1.make sure to fish when little to no ppl are on (know your server!)
2. make sure to at least have a base fishing of 275 no less or else you can't make the 400 mark with just 2 buffs.
3. DON'T QUIT. it will pay off in the end.
last words:I ended up with the turtle after obtaining 294 base skill, 3 stacks of dragonfins and sukerfish.

Ofcourse you just got lucky, the chances of catching the turtle are equal in all Northrend schools, and very very small. Some people might get it in 5 minutes, others may fish for weeks. The best tip you are giving here is 'don't quit', and the tactics you describe do not in any way guarantee getting the mount in an hour.
What I would recommend is fishing in an area with a lot of schools spawning together, the spot in the Frozen Sea where monsterbelly schools spawn would be a good example of this. This way you will minimize the time you spend waiting for schools.
Other than that.. just keep on fishin' till you get it!

I imagine that using the Death Knight's Path of Frost, or a similar ability from a Shaman, that this would become even easier. Thanks for the tip, I may try this. If I succeed, i'll post what I can to help.
Thank you!

I didn't realy wait long between schools. they usualy repop by the time i am on the 3rd one. so i was fishing constantly. and as long as you can get yourself to 400 fishing buffs and all. you will rarely get any junk from them.

Alright :) Sounds like a good spot if no one is around then. On my server there always seem to be some people fishing at Lake Indu'le for the angelfish, so for me that spot wouldn't be such a wise choice.
Fishing there will also make you some money; angelfish sell quite well on the AH.
Other profitable pools I'd recommend are Glacial Salmon (Grizzly Hills) and Nettlefish (Sholazar).
You could also combine fishing for the turtle with trying to get the Dark Herring for the achievement, by fishing in Fangtooth Herring schools (Howling Fjord).

ya i realized there is no real best but noticed it says MY OPINION after it. in my opinion it is my fav spot to farm it cause of the schools like a few yards from each other. i realized i put it as a guide and that i take as my bad. but as best spot its my opinion...

yeah, it is the best spot i found too...close enough schools with not too much issues getting to it.

It's luck based; your opinion isn't going to change the drop rate.

There was a post elsewhere claiming that it only dropped on inland lakes, not the coast. Since there are people here who've caught it, has anyone caught it along the coast? It seems unlikely that it would only drop in lakes, but it would be nice to have evidence.

The patch notes specified any pool of fish in Northrend. I would assume that counts the pools on the shores.
I've been fishing about 14 hours now (mostly in Grizzly Hills) and still have no turtle.
