Mr. Pinchy is a very rare catch from high level Outland fishing spots (Highland Mixed Schools) which can only be found in three of the lakes in Terrokar Forest, all three of which require a flying mount (or druid flight form) to reach. The first two lakes are respectively above each of the faction towns in the area and completely empty of any NPC's making them pretty easy to fish; Lake Jorune above Stonebreaker Hold for Horde, and Lake Ere'Noru above Allerian Stronghold for Alliance. The third, Blackwind Lake is much larger, provides many more Highland Mixed School spawn points, and is ensconced by the dangerous denizens of Skettis within the Skethyll Mountains. This lake is considerably more dangerous as patrolling Rock Giants, Elementals, and Arakkoa all reside in Skettis and a fight against one enemy can quickly escalate to multiple enemies for an unwary adventurer.
To fish in these pools one it is suggested that the player have AT LEAST 450 skill in fishing, which means getting your latent skill to 375, then adding points from gear won in the Stranglethorn Fishing Extravaganza, as well as applying a temporary lure to your fishing pole. In fact, a player should have a buffed fishing of 525 to prevent their catches from getting away most of the time.

The Mr. Pinchy Song
For those people fishing for Mr. Pinchy, the Mr. Pinchy theme song may offer some consolation. It was written by Laecesudhan of the Terenas server and should be sung to the tune of "Mr. Sandman" by the Chordettes. The song was written for a fishing-happy gnome warlock with a felguard pet named "Jhuudhun".
Mr. Pinchy, bring me a wish
I've been so patient, to sit here and fish
My friends are busy all getting their quests done
And I'm alone here sitting with Jhuudhun
Pinchy, I've been so blind
There's so much Scryer rep left to grind
I've things to do other than fish
Mr. Pinchy, bring me my wish!
---
Mr. Pinchy, I want a pet
That's epic and a non-combat-ant
Party buffs are nice, it is true
And please believe that I don't want to kill you
Pinchy, elusive crawdad
My friends all think that I'm going mad
How many Int scrolls must I get?
Mr. Pinchy, bring me my pet!
---
Mr. Pinchy, please have a heart
I'm but a gnome and my legs are too short
To wade and fish in extra-deep water
Or run away from pats that will slaughter
Pinchy, I've been fishing so long
That Lae's resorted to rewriting this song
Can't you just bite and do your part?
Mr. Pinchy, please have a heart!
