If you use the zoning menu to designate a fishing area, all of the dwarves will pick the exact closest spot to them to fish from even if it's already occupied by another dwarf or dwarves. This results in them all piling up on the same spot and aside from looking pretty silly, I think it slows their fishing down considerably as well since it forces all but one of them to lie down.

Oooh, a dock. I should make one of those.

It's the same with any designated area activity. I've got four dwarves standing on each other gathering sand from the same tile in the middle of a huge desert...

Same happens for establishing a drinking zone. It would be prettier and more sensical if only one dwarf would occupy each square.

What happens if you designate lots of tiny fishing zones?

They'd probably choose the closest one.

Yep I already tried a bunch of 1x1 fishing zones and that's exactly what happened (again).

I had this written down in my list before the October release, but I found it sort of annoying to code so I put it off.  I'll get to it at some point.
