Description

What is Fishing Buddy?

Fishing Buddy is a quality-of-life addon for WoW anglers that automates gear swapping, tracks catch statistics, provides fishing node locations, and adds convenient one-button casting.

Categorized under Bags & Inventory, and Miscellaneous, this addon is a must-have for players seeking to improve their World of Warcraft experience on private servers.

Key Features

Automatic fishing gear equip and unequip when entering and leaving fishing mode
Catch statistics tracking every fish type, location, and catch count
Easy cast functionality with double-click casting support
Fishing node tracking showing where you have previously caught fish
Outfit manager integration for dedicated fishing gear sets
Fishing skill display with lure tracking and expiration warnings
Location-based catch history showing what each zone yields
Minimap button for quick access to fishing mode and statistics

Why Fishing Buddy is Essential

Fishing in WoW is a relaxing but repetitive activity. Fishing Buddy removes the friction by handling gear swaps automatically and tracking your catches so you know exactly which zones produce the fish you need. For players working toward the Salty title or farming valuable fish like Deviate Fish or Stonescale Eels, the catch tracking alone saves hours of guesswork.

Supported Expansions

Fishing Buddy is available for Dragonflight, BFA, MoP, WoD, Shadowlands, WotLK, Cataclysm, Legion, and TBC. Whether you play on a Classic private server or a modern expansion realm, this addon enhances your gameplay across all supported versions.

How to Install Fishing Buddy

Extract Fishing Buddy to your AddOns directory. Click the minimap icon or type /fishingbuddy to configure. Enable easy cast in the options for one-button fishing convenience.

Installing Fishing Buddy on a private server

Fishing Buddy is made by Sutorix. DivineTop hosts copies built for older game clients so they work on private servers.

Which version do you need?

Private servers run older game clients, and an addon only loads properly on the client it was built for. Pick the download that matches your server's client. To check an addon you already have, open its .toc file: the ## Interface: line should match the number below.

Client	Patch	Interface	More addons
The Burning Crusade	2.4.3	`20400`	TBC addons
Wrath of the Lich King	3.3.5a	`30300`	WotLK addons
Cataclysm	4.3.4	`40300`	Cataclysm addons
Mists of Pandaria	5.4.8	`50400`	MoP addons
Warlords of Draenor	6.2.4	`60200`	WoD addons
Legion	7.3.5	`70300`	Legion addons
Battle for Azeroth	8.3	`80300`	BfA addons
Shadowlands	9.2.7	`90207`	Shadowlands addons
Dragonflight	10.2.7	`100207`	Dragonflight addons

Install steps

Download the Fishing Buddy build for your client from the Downloads panel above.
Extract the zip into Interface/AddOns inside your World of Warcraft folder. Create the AddOns folder if it doesn't exist yet.
Check the folder name matches the .toc file inside it, for example AddOns/FishingBuddy/FishingBuddy.toc. Downloads from GitHub often add -master or -main to the folder name, which stops the addon from loading.
Start the game and click AddOns on the character screen. Enable Fishing Buddy, and tick Load out of date AddOns if it shows as out of date.

Lua errors right after installing almost always mean the build doesn't match your client. Delete the folder and download the version for your patch.
