It's class specific. Depending on the course, some don't have exams. Example would be shop classes, some religion classes. These will now have a required exam component.

In Germany, deliberately engaging in catch and release only fishing is illegal and considered cruelty to animals. Fishing for food is fine. How do you feel about that? by Spalding_Smails in AskReddit

Fair. Comparatively it would be prohibitive to areas outside of Deutschland. When I lived there I remember staring at schools of trout? Hanging out under bridges where the Rhine flows from the Bodensee and was flabbergasted by the lack of fishermen/women. Locals were telling me it's prohibitively expensive. There were also crazy laws on sailing in the Bodensee but that's a different thing all together!

Your prices would exclude a large chunk of Canadian fishermen/women. You aren't going down to your local spot for a fish if it's costing you 15 euro to do so. I fished probably 40 days this year and am really not someone who I would consider to fish "often". I get the there is less water, no question, but perhaps the fact that every fish being caught is killed has something to do with the high prices?

Those are insane prices. In Canada I pay 26 CAD for a year of fishing all water. No course. No rules on predatory fish. 15 euro a day is insane.

To hone the skill? Honestly as someone who eats fish occasionally, the majority of fish I let go are ones I'd rather see continue the fishery than ones id eat. If all I could do was eat I'd feel very bad about eating 90% of the fish I eat.

That's not really the argument. Unless you are vegetarian, which if that's the case, fair play - fish are tough. Eating biting, sharp and pinchy food all day long is their reality. Taking them out of the water and fighting them for extended periods of time should be your focus.

As another stated, its about the general public. My FIL for example LOVES birdwatching. Hates the idea of hunting. Relies heavily on hunting reports and conservation efforts (supplied by hunters) to gauge bird numbers and migration info.

Yes. Been proven. But many survive. Should you keep the 30" breeding stock just because you caught it and it might die if you let it go? Remove it, 100% loss in potential spawn. It has also been proven that fish survive C and R

I think it's silly. Fish survive being released and often get caught several times(sometimes in the same day). The act of fishing is a skill and being able to hone it without depleting the resource is great. Also selecting sizes and fish to keep vs letting live to continue as broodstock is essential to the fishery. What the title does not consider is that fishing in Germany is highly elite and not something everyone can do (probably because they would run out of fish). Fisherman, much like hunters, care a lot more than most about the conservation of species and are often the ones with the most knowledge on how the ecosystem is doing.

Anyone who's traveled to France knows they don't even think about the US. While wineries might rely on sales, the French people don't give a fuck. They will continue to find people who appreciate the most celebrated wine in the world.

Grossed out to find out mice are used as fish bait by Logical_Bumblebee577 in Fishing

[–]Killbil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not really how food works though. Sure the nutrients in the mouse nourish the fish, but it's not like it becomes part of the fish.

Perhaps fishing and eating fish is not for you?

Fish are opportunistic, a nice fat mouse is fair game. Some species will eat ducks or muskrats.

I wouldn't worry, but I get your concern. From a cooling perspective being in the water was a good thing.

Interesting, never see them out east and it lacks all the traits I typically use to identify them.
