"There is nothing to catch in the underworld"

Is this a joke or are you supposed to be able to fish up demons?
I reclaimed a fort with HFS and I noticed that message.

I assume it's because of the pits of water in the pits.

I don't really think "You caught a wild frog demon! Thankfully, it's the size of a regular from!" will happen anytime soon.

Okay, that is just plain cool...
Did you over-fish the demon pits or something?

You should v+p your cats.
And check your exports to the kobolds and goblins.

Did you remember to feed the underworlders with cats?

Lava fishing anyone?

Aww, I was hoping for hellfish at some point.

Probably the "nothing to catch in the ____" stock message, with the ___ changed to "underworld" because of HFS?

Either way, hellfish would be awesome.

I suppose you can get hellfish by making aquatic vermin and giving them the [DEFENDER] tag.

Armok knows what will happen though.
