New fish added to the The Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge.

This is actually a really good item for a lvl 19 warlock or other caster twink.

Seems like both these fish have a very low drop rate.

But I did find something out about them.
1.) They are not rare spawned pools (ie a single fish in a pool named old ironjaw). I thought that after catching around 300 fish with no luck. So having the track fish book will not help you at all.
2.) They can be caught in The Forlorn Cavern in Ironforge for Old Ironjaw or in Org for Old Crafty.
3.) There is no logic behind them, they are just very low drops. They are not like spawned mobs.
4.) Caught 300 Mud Snappers, 150 Catfish and 80 Smallfish before I got my hands on one.

Do you need to be of a specific faction? I'd like to know if I can take my Dwarf into Org and try to catch it. Yes, I have that much time on my hands...

Took just under 500 catches to snag this. Im a hordie, so I took a few deaths on my server, Cenarion Circle, but for the most part Alliance left me alone. Like Chav, going for Old Crafty next, and maxing out my fishing skill as well.

I managed to catch one, in the pond of the mystic ward, took me 700 catches to get it, i have fished atleast another 300 fish there since, but no luck catching another one.

Tips for HORDE fishing Old Ironjaw

Fish while /sleeping to look slightly less conspicuous.
Be prepared to click "OK" on a "Looting this item will bind it to you" dialog box. This dialog box appears regardless of whether you're in a group, and if you cast again before clicking OK, you will not loot the fish.
Turn off the display of your title to make your bright red name smaller.
The easiest, most out of the way place to fish from is the Forlorn Cavern. Most alliance traffic will be coming from the West, so fish from the Southwest corner of the Forlorn Cavern. I recommend riding through Stormwind (either through the front or through the new harbor) to take the tram into Ironforge instead of the densely populated front entrance.
Bring some Elixirs of Camouflage. Most of the alliance who gave me trouble were hunters and druids who had track humanoids on. Using this elixir will reduce ganking. Edit: Or, if you are a hunter, you can use Aspect of the Beast (Thanks, Arhippa!)
Have at least 4 empty bag slots; the more you have, the better.
If you are not at max fishing skill, make sure your skill is not capped. You will probably do quite a lot of fish catching, so you may as well get skill points for it.
Be patient! It took me 943 catches to get him, which is about 4 hours of fishing. This will quite probably take you a long time, so don't set out to do it one sitting. If gankers are persistent, be prepared to log out and play another character or do something else.

Good luck!

The Orgrimmar equivalent is Old Crafty.

Leveling fishing while trying to catch this guy as I type this, I'm at 92 fishing with no luck.

Commento di Vythika

I think I was extremely lucky in that I caught him in about 25-30 casts.

Proud owner of both Old Crafty and Old Ironjaw (also got The 1 Ring too, which i read is rarer than both of them, so thats a bonus :P)

Commento di Gnowo

As mentioned by Vythika above, this fishy is BoP. So do not sit around fishing this with your main, just to have it sent to your alt as this simply won't work.

Commento di Allakhazam

i caught him oh yeah!

Commento di Allakhazam

Reeled in from the Forlorn Cavern. Did not he existed until I caught him.

Commento di Allakhazam

I just caught him in ironforge

Commento di Thottbot

Caught him nov 23. about 40 cast

Commento di Thottbot

got him after catching 52 longjaw mud snappers, 18 bristle whisker catfish, and 7 brilliant smallfish

Commento di Thottbot

I caught Old Ironjaw over a month ago, and I shouted out in glee--announcing to all my fisherman's catch. No one knew what he was, so they all gathered in the Forlorn Cathern, in Ironforge, to try and catch him for themselves. It took me 16 casts to catch him; but the sizeable crowd that had gathered at my fishing spot had no such luck. I continued to fish along with them, and half an hour later I cought him again; I stuck around for another 2 hours to level my skill and no one among the 30 odd people that were fishing like madmen were able to catch Old Ironjaw... I walked away with fish in hand.

The best part about this is that not long afterward, and without actual intention, I got a Dark Whelpling while questing casually in the Bad Lands... I guess you can never underestimate a rogue's luck.

Commento di Thottbot

I caught Old Ironjaw on Christmas Day, 2007! Caught him again on December 30. So much for uncatchable.

Commento di Thottbot

Lol just got mine i fished 61 fishes when i found him, but was it rly worth the wait?

Commento di Thottbot

CHEERS! Caught him at Level 22 Fishing! Black Dragonflight Server. Its so awesome. Will never get rid of this little guy.

Commento di Thottbot

OMG i got him :)

Commento di Thottbot

I caught Old Ironjaw too. I've never heard of Old Ironjaw till now lol

Commento di Thottbot

Ran into ironforge on my 70 troll hunter and caught it 1st cast, was pretty epic.

Evilpoptart, Executus or GTFO.

Commento di Thottbot

It is very possible for the Horde to catch this fish (as well as the Alliance to catch it's Horde counterpart - Old Crafty https://www.wowhead.com/tbc/item=34486/old-crafty)

The only catch (no pun intended) is getting into Ironforge (or Orgrimar) Best time is off hours late at night or early morning...find a corner (I've posted a screenie of best location I've found)...and hope no one sees you :P

Caught mine after 2 hours of fishing / getting ganked / rezzing / fishing (rinse and repeat)

Commento di Thottbot

i got old ironjaw on my alliance warlock on uldum while getting my fishing skill up for the new fishing daily quest

Commento di Thottbot

it took 218 casts but i finally got it woohoo

but it sucks because they need to make fishing poles 1h so you can hold your prized fish in the offhand

oh well still cool!

I can confirm Old Ironjaw is fishable currently in TBC classic, did it on my tauren in the back of the cave in Ironforge. Took 2.5 hours. May you be luckier than I.
