SilverMallard Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 The penalty for poaching can't be that bad. This kind of regulation would make me a law violator very quickly. In some parts of Europe, which has largely abandoned capital punishment even for serial killers, poaching is still punishable by death. Remember Robin Hood? Actually, for THEM, their system makes pretty good sense. In fact, it is better suited to the reality over there than ours is suited to our reality here in many ways. But Germans LOVE beauracracy and rules! They get off on red tape. It's part of the fun for them.

SilverMallard Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Here's a link from a US Army MWR fishing facility in Germany. Note the last paragraph with the asterisk. http://www.ansbach.army.mil/sites/directorates/lake.asp And this from another military family support website. It's an in-depth explanation of the process and requirements and best ways to go about doing it. http://www.oconus.com/Main/eArticle.asp?195 Note: when this article talks about the 90-day permit based on a translated US fishing license and supporting docs, it says it is "cheaper." That is not the case if you consider: 1. Cost of translation and notorization of an official document averages about $125. It has to be done via "official" diplomatic channels using authorized translators and notaries. 2. License is only good for 90 days. So $28 every 90-days vs. $22 Euro every year. If you don't need an annual license, then it MIGHT still be a bit cheaper. Also, note that the R&G clubs on US military bases offer the required training course and exam IN ENGLISH. If you don't go through them, the course is in GERMAN. And your German better be pretty good if you want to pass the test. "Passing" in Germany means 75-80% right answers on tests...at least! Finally, the course is GREAT. I think all American anglers should have to take a very similar course before getting a license. It makes for educated, responsible anglers. And that makes for a more enjoyable and rewarding experience for everyone.

Members Davy Wotton Posted February 9, 2007 Members Posted February 9, 2007 In past years l have worked for many of the high end fly shops in Germany. I assume it is trout fishing you are looking for here. That is not so easy to find and obtain access. Much of it is private and in some cases very costly. Many Germans travel to Norway and Denmark to fly fish. Also fly over to UK and Ireland to trout fish. Rudi Heger owns very good fishing on the river Traun, and you could also travel down to Austria also there good fishing but costly for the day. My friend Roman Moser has a fly fishing operation there fishing the traun and other rivers. Eric Brinkhoff owns a fly shop also, and you could contact him for further directions as to what is available. I trout fished many palces in Germany, but cannot recall the exact places that l was taken too for the fishing. Davy. http://davywotton.com
