HelloFish
A lean, opinionated fishing helper for WoW Classic Era. It equips the best fishing pole in your bags, remembers and restores your weapons, manages lures, and lets you cast Fishing with a middle-click anywhere in the game — every action still requires your click.
Heads up — this is a personal work in progress. I build and adjust it as I use it, so features follow my own play style and may change between releases. Feedback is welcome, but HelloFish is intentionally focused rather than endlessly configurable.
What it does
- One-button fishing mode. Right-click the button to remember your current main-hand and off-hand, then equip the best fishing pole available in your bags. Right-click again to restore your weapons.
- Chooses your best pole. Arcanite, Nat Pagle’s, Big Iron and the other standard Classic Era poles are ranked automatically.
- Restores the right items. Full item links are remembered, so differently enchanted copies of the same weapon are not confused. The saved loadout survives
/reload. - Manages fishing lures. When the pole has no temporary enchant, left-click applies the strongest usable lure in your bags. Applying a lure always requires an explicit click.
- Middle-click to fish. While a fishing pole is equipped, middle-click anywhere to cast Fishing. The temporary mouse binding is removed when your weapons are restored.
- Shows the next action. The icon changes between pole, lure and Fishing states, with lure count and approximate remaining duration shown on the button.
- Compact and movable. The button is shown by default beside HelloWarrior’s default position. Unlock it to Shift-drag, adjust its scale, or move it wherever it fits your UI.
- Secure actions only. Pole, lure and cast actions use WoW’s secure action system. HelloFish never fishes automatically.
Usage
- Right-click — equip the best fishing pole or restore your saved weapons.
- Left-click — apply the best lure when needed; otherwise cast Fishing.
- Middle-click anywhere — cast Fishing while a pole is equipped.
- Shift-drag — move the button while it is unlocked.

Caveats
- Only supports WoW Classic Era.
- Uses the standard Classic Era pole and lure catalog; expansion and seasonal-only equipment is not included.
- Poles, lures and saved weapons must be in your carried bags. The bank is not searched.
- Restoring an empty weapon slot requires enough bag space to put the fishing pole away.
- Equipment and secure-binding changes cannot be performed during combat.
- Middle mouse button is temporarily claimed by HelloFish while a pole is equipped, then released when the pole is removed.
- No automatic bobber clicking, auto-looting, catch tracking or session statistics.
- Opinionated by design: one small settings panel, not a full profile-management suite.
