You will need to come back to fish there later, or find a new fishing spot.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

I check all places with water (I) and fishing does not light. Help?

Then you'll just have to wait for the swamps to restock themselves. Or artificially stock them. With help from the Elves.

fishable creatures are all vermin animals, and as such randomly spawn so you cannot really artificially restock a fishing area.

So a rat can be fished? LOL.

Oh. Well, if you bought fish, you could still eat them.

Fishing drives me insane, so I don't do it. (The labor is too high priority. NOTHING GETS DONE BUT FISH GETTING.) My dwarves still live, they just farm.

I don't even bother with fishing on maps with just murky pools. If you want a decent fishing industry for food, I'd suggest you setup shop on a stream, river, lake or ocean. And use a dedicated fisher, with another dwarf set to fish cleaning to keep it running as smoothly as possible.

But oceans are a fast way to get FUN.
