Keeps the riff-raff out. Could think of another sport this ought to be applied to in the UK.

I haven't looked but it rings a bell with a holiday we had a while ago. Hired a boat in Eire on the River Erne. As we chugged along a lot of the other boats were crewed by Germans. In the end I asked why and the answer was that to hire a boat in Germany you have to qualify for a licence.

Sounds like fishing is the same.

Quite right too, do you realise how much damage you can do with a fishing hook ?

Being serious i would think your best bet is to approach a few fishing locals and chat with them about a casual days fishing somewhere. You will find many german people speak very good english.

Because that would be too simple. Where are European stamps or European gass-bottles, or ...... oh:
Don't try to go fishing in Germany without a licence (yes you have to do an exam to get one) for the penalties are very severe

In France, fishing in the Channel you do not need a license, fishing in the river you need a license that you can buy (no examination) to Fédération Française de pêche à la ligne, I think that is not national license but only regional , I am not sure about it. I am hunter no fischer

Just an aside you also need a licence for sea fishing in Spain as well as for freshwater.

Should have added you have to apply to Madrid for the Sea Fishing license if I remember rightly.
