Fishing again (finally)
August 22nd, 2013 by Zac
I’m a fisherman from my childhood, thanks to my parents, 
who encouraged it and loving men like Bill Bennet, Shorty Jones, Arnold Jacobs & Lavon Post who took the time to teach me.
But fishing in Slovakia is another story. I always dreamed of being able to fish here, but language and the red tape of getting a fishing license always intimidated me. 
But this year, after 11 years living here, I had a break through. I met a Slovak fisherman who was willing to guide me through the process of getting my 
fishing license. And guess what? I’m fishing in Slovakia!!
My first fish was a big fat Karp (the sacred fish of Slovaks). I know – a “junk fish” by American standards, but it was fun to catch and quite an experience to clean it. And a whole other experience to try to eat it!
But I’m glad I had the experience. Maybe one day I’ll be fortunate enough to catch a Slovak trout or some other exotic Slovak fish. But for now, most of the thrill is just being a fisherman again.
