I can imagine a bunch of  monks making a pilgrimage to a holy mountain, only to discover that it isn't there anymore.

I tried it and it does not work. I made a fish farm instead for underground/indoor fishing. You could easily do a magma fish farm, that needs magma and makes exotic custom fish like fire shrimps and such.

It is kind of funny since the game actually has the option of producing the message "There is nothing to catch in the magma sea".

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Really ? I never could get my fishers to walk there to fish, so maybe it does work in theory, dwarven AI is just too... underprivileged.

This is what happens when dwarves attempt to fish in water that is near the magma sea, rather than in the magma itself.

Really? That's interesting.

I personally was just getting my information form the string dump on the wiki, though it was even funnier back in 40d because the string dump actually contained the messages "there is nothing to catch in the magma pipe" and "there is nothing to catch in the magma pool", though no one could ever figure out how to trigger them.

I think removing magma and filling the same place with water may allow magma fishing.
