Greeting, new member here from Germany, originally from Shepperton, fished the amazing Thames for carp, then after 4 years of moving to Germany I finally took the dreaded Fischerprüfung last year! and yes it was pure hell. lol

Welcome!

I had to look up 'Fischerprüfung'. How on earth do tourists get to fish in Germany if you have to take a course and then pass an exam before fishing?

That sounds a bit too much, but maybe it would keep out some of the less desirable fishermen. 😁

You can book an appointment with an official and get a tourist licence, but that is really touch and go, Germany is no longer efficiant like they were before sadly, and I do not mean that bad against the German people they are great, they are also tied down by red tape.

Difficult due to language or due to the questions and competence test itself?
