So I've built a basic well.  That's done.  I put a floodgate in and also a wall grate behind it to keep animals from getting through into my cistern.

Well, some small shad got in anyway and now I have a couple of full grown perch in my cistern.

Wondering if I channel a hole near my well into the cistern if my fisherdwarf can drop a line in there for easy catching from inside the fortress?

Back in .34 my dwarves were fishing pond turtles directly out of the well. Make of that what you will.

Dwarves can fish anywhere as long as there's a mostly-full water block below an adjacent tile to where the are standing. So they can't fish from two or more zs above nor can they fish from two or more tiles away.

Also, vermin-fish technically don't count as real animals and will spawn (and vanish from) anywhere that meets their biome requirements. (Making it possible to catch ocean fish like nautilus from a well that happens to be underneath an ocean biome.)
