For the beginners, regardless of race, when you are starting out, fishing in any water in a starting area will allow you to level your fishing to level 50. It is advised that you use a +25 fishing lure, but it is not required. The lure will simply help you avoid fish getting away. Also, if you are Horde, one of the best ways to make money from fishing is by catching Deviate Fish in the Barrens at the Oasis. Deviate Fish sell for good money in the auction house. If you get lucky enough to have the recipe drop for Savory Deviate Delight, you can make a nice amount of gold from the cooked fish in the auction house. Ideally you can level your cooking along with your fishing at the same time. You'll just need to keep up with the recipes as you go along. I've included info for leveling both fishing and cooking together in this guide.
Fishing in even the lowest level water can and will level your fishing, and even in the lowest of waters like the pond in Orgimar or the Stormwind Canals, it will take no more than 14 successful casts to gain a fishing skill level.
