[KenboCalrissian]

I've fished my fort dry, but the fish always come back.  I'm usually told about four times a year that there's nothing left to fish, and then ten minutes later I'll spot a few.

One of my dwarves punted a goblin into the river, and a little later there was an entire school of salmon swimming around it.  This is probably more a case of the dead body attracting fish to it more than it is generating new fish - you could exploit this, since many fish in a small area means lots of breeding.

Available fish are determined by which 48x48 embark region you're in, if I recall correctly. If the region contains a brook or river, then you can get fish; if it doesn't have any natural water in it, then you get turtles.

Will the turtle trick work with any water, or does it have to be above-ground?

Can I reroute the underground river to fish out turtles from it?

[Quietust]

I've successfully fished turtles out of my diverted underground river. Oddly, I've been completely unable to fish anything out of the underground river itself, though that was also from a diverted section that was still within the same region tile (perhaps cave fish can only be fished from the original river tiles?).

[Skorpion]

Cave fish are fish, so river tiles only.

[UndergroundTree]

I'd follow the turtles only on dug water line. I dig into aquifers all the time for turtle fishing.
