The wiki says that wells will draw water over any vertical distance.  Is that true for fishing, too?

I have a massive underground lake, and I assume that it's teeming with fish.  I also assume that it'll have some swimming building destroyers, so a mere stone grate at the surface of the water won't offer much protection.  Is there any way to fish without putting the dwarf on the edge of the water?

Simply said No.
The fisherdorf has to stand on the edge of the water to fish.

But there is a solution for your problem.

Dig a fishing pond away from the main water source and secure the conection with a fortification.
Vermin ( fish ) can pass through but megabeasts cant.

I'm certain I've seen fisherdwarves fish through a well.

I'm certain I've seen fisherdwarves fish through a well.

If the water is one level under the well, as in RIGHT BENEATH it, then they can as its no different from sitting at the edge of a lake.

I see, thanks.
