Did something change fishing that removed building artifcial ponds in your fort to safely fish from? I can only seem to set rivers as fishing spots now.

It looks like in the new versions, fishing should be better now.

When you made the fishing zone, you made it cover a land tile adjacent to the water's surface right?

The attempts I have made have been unsuccessful. There were non zero numbers for the fishing zone option when settning up the zone, but every attempt to fish has resulted in "there is nothing to catch in the <direction> swamps" and the fishing zone number becoming zero. I've done this both with an aquifer lake and an "outdoor" artificial pond.
However, building a lake and filling it from a cavern lake (closing the access off afterwards) was successful, as pond turtles were caught. I might either have been unlucky or lakes need to be "seeded".

I would test it by spreading the zone over a large area around the watering hole and still get 0's. I tried a few different holes. One was underground, a few were on the same level as the river, one was 2 layers deep, one I didn't make diagonal path from the river so it would receive water pressure but nothing worked.
