Here's how you'll want it(You need an aquifer for this to work):H=Hatch F=Floor G=Grate R=River/stream
L=Lever A=Aquifer entrance W=Natural wall O=Flood Gate

It might do well to have cage traps on the path to the river from the vortex chamber to catch any pesky fish. Wait for (a) fish to enter. Pull lever 1 to close the floodgate and pull lever 2 to open the hatch, beginning a vortex that drags any and all fish into the air drowning chamber. Wait for the water to evaporate, and pick up all remaining fish corpses.
GREAT SUCCESS!

You could also use it as a drowning trap for invaders/migrants/merchants
