3.1 Fishing changes on Test Realm.

Q u o t e:
What are the new changes on the test realm that make fishing easier and quicker. Does anybody know????

I'm not sure what is active, but the quicker thing should be pretty self explanatory.

Here are the latest changes to fishing in 3.1:

• Fishing
  
  
  
  • A new (and very rare) special mount can now be caught from Northrend fishing pools.
    
  • A new clam, the Giant Darkwater Clam, can be obtained by fishing in Wintergrasp. This mighty clam has a greatly increased chance to drop pearls, and yields up to five times the regular amount of clam meat.
    
  • New fishing dailies are now offered from Marcia Chase in Dalaran City!
    
  • Players are no longer required to do the Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme quest to gain Artisan fishing. The quest now offers a special superior-quality fishing pole instead. If you already completed the quest, you can visit Nat Pagle in Dustwallow Marsh to receive this new fishing pole.
    
  • The time needed to catch fish has been reduced.
    
  • You can now fish anywhere, regardless of skill. Every catch has the potential for fishing skill gains, but you are likely to catch worthless junk in areas that are too difficult for your skill.
    
  • You can now fish in Wintergrasp, and the fishin' is good!
    
  • You no longer need to learn fishing from books. The trainers have finally done their reading and are able to teach you the same thing.
    
  
  

Q u o t e:


Turtle mount... says it is a very fast land and sea mount... so I would assume the turtle swims faster than every other mount in the game will (once they add it).

This is true. The current iteration of the mount will give a 100% speed increase on land and in water. :)

These changes are taken from the latest version of the PTR notes and are subject to change.

Edit: The functionality of this mount has changed on the PTR since this post was made. This mount, obtained via fishing, now gives a 100% speed increase in the water with no speed increase on land.

Here is the latest version of the 3.1 PTR notes, updated today: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/test-realm-patchnotes.html

The functionality of the very rare fishing mount has changed on the PTR since my post was made. This mount, obtained via fishing, now gives a 100% speed increase in the water with no speed increase on land.
