My wagon arrived, I gave everybody their labors and unpaused.
And then everybody went fishing.

I know there is a bug report for this but I had never observed such a behaviour while playing for some years now. And I normally have fishing active for all unskilled workers. Is there any known side condition for this to trigger or any workaround besides deactivating fishing?

And I normally have fishing active for all unskilled workers.

That's your problem.

Any dwarf with fishing active will fish at the worst possible moment and NOT stop fishing.

 I never had the problem in the past and I wonder why it suddenly happens. It's not only that some dwarfs are not doing what I want them to (that's pretty much normal dwarven behaviour) but immediately after embark all seven ignore everything else to go fishing.
I have a custom profession for unskilled workers that I use a lot, including labors like hauling, soap making, etc., and also fishing. But I never had this kind of fishing enthousiasm occuring like in my latest fort settlement.

That must be the 0.40.20 job priority release then.

[utunnels]

Yeah, may jobs are different now.
Time to get used to the new system I guess.

Since 40.19, I usually have only 1 fisherman, or I just design a smaller fishing zone.

I also have dorfs who do all kind of jobs, I just turn off fishing and hunting manually after I check all other jobs.
