How I does this? Is there any aboveground fishing options at all for cold/tundra areas? I always get fishery workers in every migrant wave, usually at least half of them have fishing enabled.

Or is the only option caverns?

[FallenJoe]

No, this is not currently an option in DF. 

You could just immediately disable fishing as a skill, unless you really like the fishing industry..

[sackhead]

i have found if tou have magma directly below water it can keep it liquid...

[Garath]

which may still limit fishing if the water is multiple z-levels deep at available fish places

[FallenJoe]

So under that the assumption that you A: diverted lava from a miraculous volcano in your ice ridden tundra. or B: pumped magma up from far below to a location where it keeps a pocket of liquid on the surface at a liquid temperature...

Will the game spawn fishable stock in said liquid, or did the preexisting state of being frozen cause the game to set all populations for aquatic life to 0?

Quick, somebody do !!SCIENCE!!

[Garath]

I'm reasonably sure vermin fish can spawn regardless of borders or other conditions, but the larger animal fish need a free border to swim onto the map

[Raphite1]

Keep in mind that apparently only flowing magma will keep ice melted. I've never tested it myself, but have heard from multiple sources.

[WhimsyWink]

and the other issue being, do you want to set up the magma flow for a fish source that will deplete in a few years anyway?

Does he want to do something horribly inefficient, time consuming, and potentially dangerous, with an unknown chance of success, for very little potential reward?

Why, of course he does. 'Tis the Dwarven way.

[WhimsyWink]

You are 100% correct, just wanted to make sure he had thought of it up front
