Summary0004816: Fisherdwarf cancels fish: interrupted by fish
DescriptionNot sure how common this is, but I recently received the following amusing message:

Fath Egulobok, Fisherdwarf cancels fish: interrupted by carp.

I'm guessing this means she'd picked a water square to fish in...but when she got there, either the water square wasn't open, because there was a fish in the way, or she started fishing there but stopped when a carp swam into the targeted square...rather than catching or attempting to catch the fish entity, or ignoring the fish entity and (continuing) fishing for the usual invisible fish, she gave it up as a bad job.

It's understandable how it happens, but it seems a bit odd that you'd give up on fishing because you see a fish.

This is currently intended behavior. Fisherdwarves go for small (vermin) fish, not large fish like carp, which can attack and/or scare them.
