I don't believe that pool of water is big enough to support fish. Try a lake or ocean, a river might work, but I wouldn't bet on it.

If so, I'm afraid fishing won't be an option anytime soon.

Keep an eye out when hunting and you might find a lake/pond, though, you might get lucky!

roof part of your lake, then melt it using torches/jacklanterns. water needs sky view to freeze over.

Idea: make one of those funny Eskimo fishing huts on the surface of the frozen lake.

If it spawns squids, odds are you can fish in it. I'm not sure, but I guess the minimum size is something like 5x5x5...

This may be a thing you didn't think of, but are you using bait?

Nearly any small meaty bits (rotten flesh, mystery meat, batwings...) can be used as bait, and you'll never catch anything without it.

Also, try fishing at dusk, at dawn, and in the rain.

But yeah, the water may not be deep enough; I haven't checked the wiki for any of this so my knowledge isn't fresh.
