0002019: Fisherdwarves only catch mussels and turtles
Fishing in lakes and rivers only results in catching mussels, even when other vermin fish can be seen wandering around. Fishing in murky pools only results in turtles, even when vermin fish can be seen wandering around. Haven't fished in the ocean in .04 yet.
1. Get a fortress with water.
2. Fish.
3. Pay attention to what gets caught.
No tags attached.

I was unable to reproduce this in .05. Might have been related to the temperature issues?

It may well have been, yeah. If it shows up again, feel free to reopen this report or PM me on the forums.

Speak of the devil, it happened again. I only could catch mussels and turtles, even though other fish were wandering about. (There's piles of dead lungfish everywhere, courtesy of the fisherdwarf's pet cat.) The ambient temperature was listed as "warm" on embark, while the fortresses I couldn't repeat this with were temperate. The fortresses in .04 that had this happen were also warm. That's the only thing I can think of that all the fortresses that had this happen shared and none of those that didn't lacked, so it might be related to this.

If you have a save demonstrating the problem, uploading it might be helpful. http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^]

Yeah, I have a save. http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2464 [^] I should still have at least one of the .04 saves too, if that would help.

Reminder sent to: Ducky

Are you still experiencing this bug in worlds generated in 0.31.23+? Closely related bug 0002015 was fixed in that version.

I just downloaded 0.31.25 to check, and I'm catching fish fine in a warm area.

Excellent, thanks for testing it!
