Can't get this to work...

Whenever I queue up a "Capture a live fish" task, the person who picks it up walks over to my animal stockpile (which is on land) and just stands next to a trap until he gets bored and switches to another task. I do have fishable lakes and I do have a glass terrarium that is unused and non-forbidden. -Fuzzy 11:30, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

I had this issue too, after the season changed my dorf ran over and grabbed a salmon or somesuch. I'm guessing there needs to be a fish in valid fishing areas for this job to complete. Otherwise they stand around and wait for a fish to spawn so they can capture it. HeWhoIsPale 11:57, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Aosher 06:44, 3 February 2009 (EST)
Just so we're clear, to successfully capture a live fish you must:
A.) Have an empty animal trap
B.) Have a dwarf with the "fishing" labor enabled
C.) Have a valid, accessible fishing area with capturable fish in it
D.) Have a place to deposit the fish? A pond? An aquarium? An animal storage stockpile? This is the part I think I get hung up on.--Zipdog 04:22, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
