Is there a safe place to fish in PoV?

Having finally gotten flagged for PoV/S I would like to fulfil several of my friends desire for a fisherman's companion, but not having spent much time in PoV I don't know where might be safe to fish (or semi-safe anyway).

Zone in, face the wall closest to you, invis, turn left. Run along the wall (unless I'm being totally direction-impaired, again, you should have a wall to your right) until you hit water. You should be able to find a mob-free spot to catch those pesky little fishies.

Wow, from the DenMom herself. I am honored. Thanks, hopefully my guild will be swimming in fisherman's companions soon. Now if they would only come up with an item that summons bait...

Yeah, Rangers have plenty of time to forage for you while wait for a rez.

The place I usually fish in Valor is in the oposite direction. There's a rock on the far side of the river near the entrance to the caves that I use. Never had a problem with trains or mobs in hours and hours fishing there. Zone in, go to the near wall, turn right go straight till you hit the river, turn right along the river, pass the little path of rocks across the river, and not far past that on the far side of the river near the zone wall is a nice rock sticking out that I use to fish from.

Well if you're a monk, necromancer, or SK, you can fish safely anywhere, hehe. Just angle yourself so you're in a good position to cash your fishing pole, and FD. You can fish safely in this position, no matter how dangerous the mobs around you are. I do this all the time to fish crawdads in PoN to bake with, and to safely catch Nightmare Cichlids.

You know, I have fished invisible, while sitting (often), from just about every way *except* fd. Never would have thought of it. This will be helpful since my best fishing toon is actually my necro anyway.

Relating to my original post I have some more detailed information. In the first half of PoV (the "forest" side of the river) the only naturally aggressive critters I have found are the undead (and the razorfiends). Unless you are in some form other than your own (wolf, illusion, etc) the frogs and the planarian larvae won't aggro. My personal favorite spot is to the east of the zone in along the zone wall. There is a nice spot by the river with a frog that seems happy to accept all the rusty daggars and other non-fish things you can catch. Gotta wonder what people think when they occasionally kill that frog...
